I would recommend Samesun to anyone staying in Banff. I met so many fun people here and had such a good time I ended up extending my stay! The kitchen and common areas are quite small, but this works in its favour as it pushes people to hang out in the bar more, which made for a great atmosphere. Super secure and breakfast was fab. The only bit of feedback I could give is to have better labelling / cleaning products in the kitchen - there wasn’t always soap / washing up stuff.

Such an amazing hostel! Staff are super friendly and helpful! And only a 2 minute walk from town. Absolutely love having the beaver bar attached to the hostel for some pub food and drinks! Awesome atmosphere!

Perfect Hostel for a ski trip ! Stayed in the 6 - female dorm, which hard a calm and friendly vibe, idéal for great nights of sleep between intense ski days. The bar is at a seperate level, so you really have the option to get social and partying or to not feel it at all. Breakfast could be open earlier for people wanting to catch 1st shuttle LL. Ski locker is a huge perk, as being super close to shuttle stops for the mountains. I would recommend as being the hostel to choose, staying in Banff...

Ever stayed somewhere so good you want to keep coming back?! This was my third stay at Samesun Banff as a solo traveller and it’s easily the best hostel I’ve been to, thanks to the amazing team. Katy, Isla & Will are so welcoming and helpful. Josh & Abby make the in house bar (with awesome happy hours!) a great place to meet people and Yvi, Faye & Holly keep everything spotless and comfy. If you’re looking for a fun, laidback place to stay in the most magical town… look no further - book...

I had a very comfortable stay here. The shower was amazing. I stayed in an all-female dorm. The staff was friendly and helpful, the bar on-site was good. Lots of useful tools in the kitchen. The location is also great, you can walk anywhere in less than 20 minutes.

The location and bar are great, but the SQUEAKING bunk beds and mattresses were so bad they should be illegal.

This hostel is the perfect vibe and I met the best people to enjoy my time in Banff! Such a great hostel for meeting friends - they have a really nice common room where people are playing games and you can watch movies together. There's also a really cute bar with nightly activities that gets packed especially for music bingo. They have happy hour every day and the food is yum, I had a tasty BLT at Trivia night! My bed was so comfy, and the room was cleaned daily - beautiful modern bathrooms. I ...

Clean, safe and accessible to Banff area. Pricey for a hostel, but much better than paying for a hotel. Has great vibes.

Absolutely lovely staff who are all so warm and helpful and very friendly residents (I’m older than the crowd here and befriended everyone; it was actually hard to find alone time on my solo trip). As for the negatives, I think our room may have had a sewage problem as it was quite stinky, the metal beds creak at the slightest movement, and the walls and floors are thin so you can hear every step and sound. But lovely experience and would return.
