Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Wonderful location within unspoiled wilderness Well maintained hostel with clean and modern bathrooms, very spacious and generous public spaces and very friendly and helpful staff. Internet connection available during some hours in the evening (special service in very remote location) I have donated my bear spray to reception. It is absolutely recommended to carry it with you when hiking during bear season. Bring your own. If you travel by plane ask at reception to borrow my one, or buy it at the visitor information.

    It was a very cozy atmosphere in the hostel and we met new friends there. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for hikes in Kananaskis Provincial park.

    The Kananaskis Wilderness Hostel was the perfect hostel experience for us. The hostess was extremely friendly and went out of her way to explain a lot about the area and she accommodated an evening campfire. The hostel itself was very clean. The showers and bathrooms were clean and properly equipped. The beds were comfortable enough and linnen and towels were available. The area around Kananaskis hostel was quite beautiful with great hikes, lakes and waterfalls.

    It was well maintained. We had no hazzle or issues with anything. There were clear instructions which made sense and easy to follow like the quiet time, better usage of water and resources at the hostel. Staff and other hostellers were friendly too.

    Stunning location! The hotel was really lovely to walk around. On our first night, from the viewing platform we saw our first and only grizzly (far far in the distance) down by the river. The hotel interior is absolutely beautiful. Room was a good size too. There is a great food selection depending on budget and preference. We also enjoyed the Nordic Spa experience

    Great location, lovely host, nice and comfy room. Even though the bathrooms were shared, there were plenty of them and no wait time.
