This non-profit hotel was a welcome surprise. Never know what to expect at hostel/hotels and this…read moreone didnt disappoint. We booked a one night private room. Walked in and we had two beds, a great view of the mountains, plenty of towels for two people, soap and shampoo all provided. The bathroom had huge windows that opened to allow the air in and the steam out. The shower and vanity looked newly installed or renovated. The bed was comfortable but a bit worn. They had lamps which added outlets to the desktop area and a place to hang coats. The elevator worked quickly and everyone from front desk staff to the guy mopping the floors was nice. For a hostel they had many welcome amenities that you wont find at more expensive hotels. They had a reading room, ice machine, kitchen and TV room on level one. The huge kitchen area had 4 fridges lined up so you can store your perishables as well as oven and stoves to cook on. This place is a 6 min walk to the bustling downtown area and the Dancing Sasquatch. You see two or 3 brew pubs and McDs before getting to the Dancing Sasquatch. We thought about driving but its a headache parking in Banff so we just walked. Glad we did bc it was closer than we thought. Not sure what other people paid, but for $99 CAD it was a deal.

Private room/bath was small, clean, simple, great views and even better location! We kept the windows open and used a fan which kept the room comfortable day and night. The YWCA was a short walk to the Art in Nature Walk by the Bow River, and center of town, and a short drive to the Banff Hot Springs, Staff were friendly, helpful, and we used their local suggestions on several occasions! They have a great mission and service to those in need, which makes this place even more special!

Turns out he had us scheduled for the following day so she said come now! Bc we needed him to take us to the airport & he was our ONLY option bc of our current situation. Brett also is a yoga instructor & vegan. He was a fabulous conversationalist for the entire time he got us to the Calgary airport from Kananaskis hotel which took him an hour & ten minutes. Yes he was on it!!! Thank you Brett! We got back to California safely & appreciate you for picking us up in a split second but actually 42 minutes later. We still had time to spare thankfully since our flight wasn't international until the next day. In fact good thing wifey called him first as he got inundated with many calls after that to get people to the airport! Woohoo we lucked out! Thankful wifey has her female intuitiveness bc we would have been SOL.

I can see some families taking up bunks for their whole family, free parking, free breakfast, library inside, board game options. For $27 a night who can complain. If you book by third party you will pay more. Fair warning it's a 1km walk from the highway level, the hostel is located on the top. Still a walk to the nearest bus. But if you're coming in with a vehicle- not a problem. It's very quiet. Washrooms don't have soap or shampoo so bring your own. It's definitely one of the more affordable hostels.

Schedules were easy to find and we happen to have a stop right outside the front door of the hotel- score! We took the bus from downtown banff out to Sulphur mountain to ride the Banff gondola. It's a gorgeous sunny 65 degree day so it was pretty busy. They have a queue for the return trip at the gondola and a monitor ensured everyone queued in line appropriately. Excellent service and friendly drivers. Note that they said they do NOT take credit card tap to pay- so make sure you either get a pass from your hotel or purchase a card to use.

EASY BUS RIDES DURING POST-LABOR DAY VISIT…read more We visited Banff after Labor Day so our experience with Roam might be very different from when Banff is overrun with tourists during the peak summer season. We enjoyed the convenience of the Roam transit system. The bus stops are marked with map signs as well as digital signs indicating the arrival time of the next bus. The buses ran frequently enough so that we waited no more than 15 minutes. The buses do get crowded - unknown if buses run more frequently during the high tourist season to accommodate more riders. Most routes cost only $2 CAD (or $2 USA) - exact change required and no change provided. Free transfers must be used within limited time period. Use Roam transit ($2 CAD) to reach popular places such as the Banff Gondola, Lake Minnewanka and the Cave and Basin. For a higher fare, you can ride Roam to Johnston Canyon. Always confirm arrival and departure times - buses run on a 1/2 hour or 1 hour schedule at some of these sites. Roam buses also go to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake but it is not simply waiting on a bus line for a seat - visit the Roam website and other travel blogs for details on the confusing options of using either Roam transit or the Parks Canada shuttles to get to the famous lakes. Tip: before your vacation, go to the Roam Transit website and print out the colored coded bus map.
