Boasting Rocky Mountain views, HI-Banff Alpine Centre offers a café and a bar. Free WiFi and self catering kitchens are available for guests to use. Banff town centre is 4 minutes' drive away.

HI Banff provides each guest a free bus pass for the local transport system. Discounted ski packages, bike rental vouchers, and Summer rafting tickets are available. The place is really amazing; the staff is friendly, and they even gift you a 3-day public transport pass so you don't have to pay for it. The rooms were great, comfy, and warm. I was able to work from a small office they have looking out to the woods, and it was really great. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Boasting a garden, HI Rampart Creek - Hostel is set in Saskatchewan River Crossing and also provides a shared lounge and a terrace. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

All rooms at the hostel are fitted with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Perfect spot to rest . We enjoyed the suggestion to refresh at the stream or walk uo the hill behind or relax by the fire . We enjoyed hearing fellow travelers adventures . Since we were mostly tent camping but all sites were full on the weekend we had our own pillow , sheet and sleeping bag but those are offered nice and clean for weary travelers.
