Some simple changes could have greatly improved this basic hostel. While the rooms were clean, the hostel was let down by the shocking customer service we received from the manager himsef. Such a shame. While other staff seemed friendly enough the Manager appeared to not be bothered by us as guests in the hostel. Our room was like a sauna... More

I just stayed at the elk for the first time this weekend. We snowboard at Fernie a lot and are always on the lookout for the best accommodation deal in the area.

Not very secure bike locker. Front desk person was very rude & hostile towards us when we checked out because we had stored our bikes in our room. Quite a surprise to us since they never mentioned anything to us during our stay. Fernie is a great little town, with some great mountian biking, but we won't be staying in... More

Went to Fernie with a buddy for some fly fishing. The rain prevented us from camping as much as we wanted, but the Raging Elk worked out great. We stayed in one of the private rooms with bunk beds and a private bathroom. Price was around $70 and it was well worth it. Fernie is not an inexpensive place to... More

Crashed here for a night, so we could ski Fernie. The price was right, we had a private room which slept 4 and came with private bathroom. Rooms are getting a bit rough around the edges, but it's a hostel so no big deal. Free pancakes and coffee in the morning are an added bonus. The room was quiet and... More

So the last HI related hostel we have stayed at was in Fernie called Raging Elk Hostel. I was a big fan of Fernie, both the town and the hostel. Huge shame about the Mountain though – I will try to review that later. Fernie is a great Hippy town, with some great places to eat be it cheap or... More
