Nice location, train stop, superstore, drug store, Tims, all about 5 mins walk. Friendly staff, clean and comfy bed, bright and clean kitchen. If your room faces to the train side, it may be a little bit noisy till 1am when the trains are passing, overall, good hostel to stay for exploring Calgary, recommend!!

Good people, beds and facilities were decent. Breakfast is nice but very basic, just bread butter, jam and juice/coffee. Located a bit off the center which isn't ideal. Stayed in late Aug.

Overall, a disappointing hostel but does the trick.

There are no slats or anything in the middle to further support the pieces of p...
