My husband and I stayed at the Alpine Centre last summer. Not having stayed in a hostel before we were unsure as to what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised. We had a private double room with shared facilities - toilets and showers. The showers and toilets were individual cubicles along the same corridor as our room. The room,... More

We could'nt get a room here for our skiing trip, so stayed at The Lake Louise Inn. But we visited the hostel regularly during our trip for breakfast & evening meals as it ius just across the road. It offers good value, well cooked & tasty food in a very nice setting. The staff were really friendly & the place... More

This is a great hostel. It is a big beautiful log cabin-eqsue building with a big clean kitchen, lovely lounge area full of character. It also has an on-site restaurant and bar which was nice but a bit expensive for a hostel. It is only 10 mins drive from Lake Louise, and also near the start of a great 5k... More

Came in here late one evening after a days riding, so despite the dorm room being slightly pricey by international hostel standards, i was pleasantly surpised by the hostel efficiency, cleanliness and comfort levels. Amazing showers, well equipped rooms with plenty of storage space and hooks for damp clothing, a helpful front desk staff and handy bar/restaurant right on sight.... More

We stayed at this HI for one night before travelling to Skoki the following day. I have never stayed in a hostel before and I was somewhat shocked at the small size of the private room. For $110.00 per night I was expecting something larger but hotel rooms in Lake Louise are very expensive . In a private room you... More

Ive stayed at this HI about half a dozen times now, it is simply the best accommodation in the area for the price you pay obviously because its a hostel, though the only hostel in Lake Louise. The restaurant is great and serve a fantastic big breaky that will help you get up the hill. The shuttle for Lake Louise... More

We stayed 2 nights and wished we had planned one more. We are not hostel folks normally but were trying to save a little money and this one looked especially nice on web. It was! Beautiful building, lovely living room and great cafe. Next time we'd cook more in the large kitchen. This time only used it for breakfast one... More

This place is a nice place to stay for a few days. Affordable, clean, great restaurant. This was though the noisiest place I have ever stayed. Not the walls but the floors. Be sure to get a top floor room as if there is anyone above you they may be incredibly noisy. Bone-jarring noisy. More

This place is better than I expected given the mixed reviews. Our family of 3 stayed here for 1 night and we were pretty happy with it. We got a private room with a full bed on the bottom and 1 single bed on top. The room is small and you do share a bathroom with the room next door.... More

We don't often stay at hostels, but the prices of accommodations in Banff National Park, especially near Lake Louise were really out of my range. So I looked at this hostel and when I saw they had private rooms I signed us up. We had a bathroom shared with one other room. The kitchen facilities were great and allowed us... More
