| We had a great stay the whole weekend. The place wasn't that busy and a nice place to relax after a day of skiing. I'd gladly stay there again. | ||

| Excellent place to stay for some winter outdoorsy fun. The hostel is clean and the manager is a super friendly guy. This is an excellent location for some backcountry skiing trips. | ||

| There could be a room or area in the common room for ski/climbing/outdoors gear. The area in front of the bunks is too small and takes up too much space for 12 people to dry their things. If there were a room you could keep your gear dry and safe this would be ideal!!!! | ||

| I stayed one night while exploring the Icefields Highway and national parks in the area. My need was very simply for an indoor bed in the right location and I was only there from late evening until early morning so did not really use the facilities. However, the manager was nice, the bed comfortable and the hostel quiet. I had no security issue but did not see a pack locker which would have increased my rating to good. For a wilderness hostel I was impressed, there was a tap for drinking water and the outhouse was well maintained with hand sanitizer and the kitchen looked well equipped. The location is brilliant. I would happily stay there again. | ||
