There were very nice shared spaces with plenty of seats both in the kitchen and lobby. Kitchen was large and well equipped. The shared bathroom was fairly clean. There were no curtains on the beds but other than that the room was nice. The staff were very helpful and friendly when approached with questions. I only stayed for one night so didn’t have opportunity to make full use of the facilities or activities and didn’t really explore the surroundings. Would stay here again if in the area :)

My stay at this hostel was very good. The hostel is very basic. Bathroom facilities are clean. The kitchen as well equipped, and has two stoves and two commercial size refrigerators. The grocery store is literally a two minute walk. The area is close to everything. Yes there is a homeless population in the area but not once did I ever feel unsafe. Lots of good restaurants an Uber was super cheap to get around. For the most part staff were friendly. I would recommend.

It was the only hostel that showed up when I searched for them in Calgary and you’re honestly better off splashing the cash and staying in a hotel. There were no plugs near the beds, which were extremely hard to sleep on. Sound travelled a lot, and was hard to sleep as the room was next to the bathrooms which you could hear through the walls. Only 3 toilets/2 showers for women on the floor. Breakfast was very mediocre. Location was fine (close to downtown and restaurants) but not the nicest ar...

Auberge de jeunesse très bien située, à distance de marche de la rivière, de la bibliothèque publique, de la tour de Calgary, d’une épicerie, d’une pharmacie, etc. . La chambre privée était confortable et propre; par contre, c’est un chauffage central donc pas moyen d’ajuster la chaleur de la chambre; j’ai dû partir le ventilateur même s’il faisait -5C dehors. La salle de bain partagée était basique; la douche utilisée n’avait malheureusement pas de pommeau de douche ...

Great hostel, definitely sketchy area of downtown with a lot of homeless people on drugs. Within 15-30min walking distance of 17th Ave which has a lot of bars. There's a train stop close by which allows for free travel throughout downtown. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and no bedbugs or any sanitation concerns. Highly reccomended for a stay in Calgary

The hostel was good enough to sleep. However there are a lot of homeless people in this area.

Fantastic facilities, staff were great, location was perfect, close to tram line, grocery store and overall very central. Not really the hostel’s fault but just keep in mind central Calgary has a large homeless population so might feel a bit uneasy on the street

Totally fine hostel, but the area of Calgary is kinda a bit ghostlike, kinda unnerving. It seems the city is kinda like that in winter in general though. Everyone was fine with the hostel and perfectly fine.

Great location. Clean, staff at front desk available 24/7. Not a lot of events so a little bit more difficult to get to know fellow travellers and build a better atmosphere. Also no group chat or sign up for events that could be improved.

Pros: - amazing location - clean large kitchen area - second room lounge was big with lots of books, games, desk for work. Cons: - no outlet by bed - no shower doors I would classify with this place as a completely average or slightly below average hostel. I’m happy Calgary has a hostel now to provide a cheaper alternative for people looking to visit the city, but this isn’t any place special. Certainly not a bad experience tho, i would stay again.

Really good location for downtown, nice kitchen, showers were fine, comfortable beds. Just be aware the doors close loudly and noise from upper floors is also very loud. Earplugs are a must! Staff was friendly but it took a staff member 1 hour to enforce quiet hours while people were literally screaming and playing loud music in front of her desk.

Bon établissement avec un bon personnel ! Néanmoins j'avais pris un dortoir filles 6 lits, et nous avons eu un homme dans notre chambre, attention aux réservations. Je recommande tout de même l'établissement !
