Set amid the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park, this hostel boasts an on-site cafe and 2 self-catering guest kitchens. It includes private storage for guests and acts as a ski pass vendor.

Guests at HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre can relax in the common room with a fireplace. A small library is available for guests to choose from. Definitely recommend staying at this place. Everything was clean, the staff was nice and the beds were comfortable. and the best thing is that I had booked a bunk bed for two nights, but when I checked in they upgraded me and gave me my room for the same price. I had my own room for two nights. A very nice and pleasant surprise. Thank you very much.

Situated in Canmore, 29 km from The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore Alpine Hostel - Alpine Club of Canada features accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 29 km from Banff Park Museum. The location of the hostel is exceptional: very secluded in the woods, on a fairly steep slope of SW exposure, lots of sunshine day time (even in winter :-), beautiful view from the deck towards Three Sisters. Main lodge and the cabins are built in classic alpine style. The place is far enough from the hwy not to hear it but close enough to downtown Canmore (5 min or so). The interior of the main lodge is very cozy and stylish (wood), too; the common use rooms are nicely decorated, etc. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.
