Welcome to our hostel

A great urban hostel located where the fun is in Edmonton's historic Old Strathcona neighbourhood. HI Edmonton is located just off Whyte Avenue, the coolest strip for shopping, pubbing and clubbing, near the University of Alberta and across the river from the downtown core. Everything guests need is within walking distance and the famous West Edmonton Mall is only a short bus ride away.

The stay at Edmonton HI hostel was really amazing, the location is good and in a quite and peaceful place, I would suggest to increase the height of the bunker bed for the person sleeping below as there chances of hurting himself while waking up and suitable for people with height of 6feet and above, Overall, excellent facilities.

HI could pay more attention to information regarding location of hostels relative to Greyhound bus station or other travel hubs.......How to get there easily may be just as important as other details such as price or comfort. I know google maps do quite a lot but are poor on local travel details compared to local knowledge. How about more details on your own website For your own members Not leaving the responsibility to Google Bing etc

Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased to see you had an excellent stay with us. For directions on the website, if you select 'Map' at the top; then click on the hostel icon, you will see a side bar appear; click on 'Get directions'; this will allow you to enter the address you're at and the best way to get to the hostel. Otherwise, please email or call us directly and we will happily tell you the easiest way to reach us. Greg, Manager
