I stayed in quite a few HI Hostels this summer and this hostel in Lake Louise was one of the best, if not the best. Spacious dormrooms, clean, excellent location, nice common lounge area, lots of facilities including a restaurant, plenty of parkingspace. All the things you hope for in a good hostel and a little more than that... It... More

My husband and I stayed there 15 years (before children). We had a room with a double bed and a loft which was pretty cool. This time, my 12 year old son and 8 year old daughter stayed in a "family room" - the only one with a full bathroom (AND the only one with a shower). We had two... More

Thank you for your comments. I am glad to hear your family enjoyed your stay with us. To answer your question, the cute little animals are ground squirrels. Also, the bear you saw last week continues to visit us every night at the hostel! Thanks, Linda General Manager More

We stayed for one night at the end of July 2011. We had a private room with a double bed and a shared bathroom. The bed was not very comfortable but it's difficult to find better accommodations in Lake Louise unless you book far in advance. We are not members of Hosteling International and the charge listed for non-members in... More

My family of 6 stayed at HI Lake Louise when we had one extra night before our flight home. We booked the room to accommodate the 6 of us. It had 3 sets of bunk beds and was quite small but very clean and had plenty of storage area. Our floor had 5 individual showers and only 1 bathroom, which... More

Thank you for your comments. I am glad to hear our cafe provided you with one of the best meals during your 10 day stay in the Rockies! It definitely is a local favorite! As for the staff and luggage and wireless password, I believe there may have just have been a communication error. We provide guests with a a... More

This was probably the worst hostel attendant I have ever encountered and the worst experience I've had staying at a hostel in Canada. They had lost the reservation, there was a group of 100 pre-teens completely unsupervised, in every nook and cranny of the place. Because they had lost the reservation, they put us next to 3, 13 year old... More

This is a pretty good hostel to stay. The room wasn't too spacious, but had a large window and was very clean, as well as the restaurant, common areas and bathroom (in the room, sink and toilet only). There are enough shower cabins along the hall and a parking lot right outside the hostel. Also, the staff was very friendly.... More

When we arrived we were greeted by one particular staff member on the front counter was the friendliest and most helpful person I have ever encountered in a hostel or even a hotel! Very close to shops and hiking trails. Rooms were well setup and had a cool loft with a double bed. Large windows looked out over trees and... More

not your 5 star hotel but that's not what it's trying to be. HI does an excellent job providing a hostel that offers excellent food and decent living arrangements with heaters, blankets, and lockers for stowing baggage. Very friendly staff and keep in mind it's a hostel-my sister and I stayed in a room with 4 bunkbeds and our roomates... More

A good, simple Hostel. The rooms were nothing special, but great quality and solid beds. The common area was huge with a pool table and big comfy chairs to relax in or play games in. There were other common rooms downstairs in the maze of corridors they had, including a TV room and arcade game room. The Sauna was also... More

I only stayed here for one night, but I enjoyed my stay. The hostel is located very close to the greyhound bus station and to the local grocery store. This hostel was fairly quiet when I stayed here. There was suppose to be a karaoke night on the night I was there but nobody showed up - I was there... More
