HI Banff Alpine Centre - Hostel

Boasting Rocky Mountain views, HI-Banff Alpine Centre offers a café and a bar. Free WiFi and self catering kitchens are available for guests to use. Banff town centre is 4 minutes' drive away.

HI Banff provides each guest a free bus pass for the local transport system. Discounted ski packages, bike rental vouchers, and Summer rafting tickets are available. I liked the location because it is out of the centre and it's more relaxed and quiet. The views are spectacular, beds comfortable and the bus ticket to use within Banff was a nice surprise :)

Canmore Alpine Hostel - Alpine Club of Canada

Canmore

Silvertip Golf Course is 6.4 km from this hostel. Canmore Nordic Centre is 14 minutes’ drive away.

Hostelling International is a membership organisation. All non-members can purchase a membership card upon arrival or an additional fee will be added to the room rate. See the fine print for more details. I loved this hostel, I'd dare to say it was the best one I've ever stayed in. We were traveling with a group of 4, so we had a room for ourselves. The kitchen is fully equipped, and it's quite big. There's plenty of space to chill or work, either outside or inside. There are books, board games, billiards, some musical instruments, so you won't get bored. You can also wash (est. $2) clothes and dry (free) them if you need. The hostel is set in a wooden house, and it also adds a lot to its vibe :).
