Set amid the Canadian Rockies in Banff National Park, this hostel boasts an on-site cafe and 2 self-catering guest kitchens. It includes private storage for guests and acts as a ski pass vendor.

Guests at HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre can relax in the common room with a fireplace and TV. A small library is available for guests to choose from, and a sauna is also available.

Definitely recommend staying at this place. Everything was clean, the staff was nice and the beds were comfortable. and the best thing is that I had booked a bunk bed for two nights, but when I checked in they upgraded me and gave me my room for the same price. I had my own room for two nights. A very nice and pleasant surprise. Thank you very much.

    It’s the only hostel-camp in the 30km radius. It exists and provides safety. It has intermittent electricity and intermittent internet access.

    Location is next to lovely bubbling stream. There is a campsite opposite and the hostel is just off the main highway, but the sound of the stream drowned out any noise. The dormitory was clean, with bedding provided. Electric lights were in all rooms and there was WiFi for an hour in the evening. Kitchen had all the utensils and facilities we required. Two gas stoves & two fridges. Toilets are pit toilets as expected, but kept nice and clean. No specific washing area provided, so a splash in the stream freshened us up.

    We really liked the place where the hostel is situated. Near some beautiful lakes, high mountains and wild creek, which could serve as a cool down after sauna session. The place with its common room, kitchen and fireplace is designated for meeting some new people, which is adventurous and entertaining.

    Hot & cold buffet breakfast was excellent. Great location at the heart of Lake Louise. Comfortable bed. Bath with shower. Room safe. The room was made up daily. Coffee and tea making facilities. Reception staff were really helpful, and staff in the breakfast room kept it tidy and well stocked. Parking outside of room.

    Great location in Lake Louise, it's a pretty small town but good location, the hostel itself was very clean, the common room above reception was really cool, only went up and had a look but really cool vibe, it was late at night and only a couple of people were there, would have been a really cool place to hang out if there was more people, wasn't a worry though. Both kitchen were spacious and fairly clean when I arrived. Bed and pillow was very comfy too.

    One of the best hostels I've ever stayed. Very affordable affordable accommodation in the Lake Louise area. extremely great value for the money. Clean hostel with great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Perfect location, about 400 meters from Louise Village/Visitor Centre where you can take the Louise Creek hike to Lake Louise in less than 1 hour. It truly exceeded my expectations in every way!
