Samesun Banff Hostel

Nice hostel place in downtown

Clean room with shower in it

I had a very pleasant stay at Samesun Banff Backpackers Hostel, and it truly exceeded my expectations. One of the best parts of my stay was the opportunity to meet so many fellow travellers from around the world—it created such a friendly and lively atmosphere. The rooms were very nice, comfortable, and impressively clean. I especially loved the cozy fireplace and the stunning mountain views, which made the hostel feel extra special after a long day of exploring Banff. One of the most iconic highlights of the hostel has to be the Beaver Bar. The vibe was amazing, with great music and fantastic drinks available all night. It was incredible to see people partying, socializing, and genuinely having the time of their lives. A special mention to the hosts—they were extremely kind, welcoming, and very accommodating with all kinds of requests, which made the stay even more comfortable and stress-free. Overall, Samesun Banff is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for comfort, great views, and an unforgettable social experience. I’d happily stay here again!

Good and reasonable place to stay close to Banff ave and IGA supermarket. Also closeby near Squirell St close to Catholic Church. Its clean. Also room is clean and smell good. My only issue theres not enough space to hang out. They have common area but it easily filled up with young and bosterous people that likes to drink. Kitchen is nice and well equpped but with few sitting area it get filled quickly. Overall its a good place to stay esp if you are in a budget.

This was a great little hostel, very cozy. I don't typically stay in hostels but hotels in the area were way to expensive so I gave this a go. No regrets. I stayed in the all female room and we had our own on-suite bathroom and shower which was great (though it could use a bit more frequent cleaning, it wasn't bad though). Just a thing to note, if you value privacy, the curtains on the bunks don't cover everything, theres one end of the bed that they don't cover. Not a big deal if everyone else around you has their curtains closed, but yeah just a thing to note for people. Didn't find people too talkative, so if you wanted a social hostel, this might not be it, but for my purposes I was happy with it and would stay again.
