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 infamous West Edmonton Mall is only a short bus ride away.

Helpful, friendly staff. Pretty organised hostel with rooms and layout. Good to have basin in room. Big, clean kitchen was nice to cook in. Enjoyed having a library to read a book. Perhaps lacking a speck of personality though perhaps this will be improved when refurbishments finished.

I'd been concerned the renovations would affect me, but there was no noise and no mess. I enjoyed the staff led activities and found it friendly. I particularly liked the pre printed slips of paper with info on how to get to tourist attractions.
