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, eating, drinking, and entertainment. The hostel is near the river valley trail system, the University of Alberta, and just across the river from downtown. Everything guests need is within walking distance, and the famous West Edmonton Mall is only a bus ride away.

HI Edmonton is open 24 hours and has a variety of facilities on offer including a TV room, games room, self-catering kitchen and a BBQ. With free WiFi, laundry facilities, library, and a lovely back courtyard to enjoy, guests have everything that they may need catered for.

Edmonton has a welcoming, small-town feel but with the conveniences of a large city. Places worth visiting include, The West Edmonton Mall, Art Gallery of Alberta, Royal Alberta Museum, Fort Edmonton Park.

Hostel was great, though the assistant manager came to me and was quite hostile towards as apparently someone had complained about me being loud during the quiet hours which I firmly disagree that I was, and that made me feel rather unwelcome at the hostel. I've stayed in hostels all over the world and never had that happen to me. It is nice to see that that is how he wants to treat a HI member on his birthday. The rest of the staff was very friendly though.

Thanks for your comments. I'm pleased to see you had a great stay with us. I apologize for the tone the assistant manager used during your interaction. I'm sorry he made you feel that way. I have spoken to him about this and he did not intend to come across like that. Glad to hear you found the rest of the staff very friendly. Greg, Manager
