HI Lake Louise Alpine Centre - Hostel

Lake Louise

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. Phenomenal hostel- everything you expect from a hostel plus a fantastic restaurant, garden/outdoor area and ideal location. The dorm rooms are small but fine, a toilet inside and showers outside of the dorm. Each bunk bed with USB charger, light. In my dorm room the other travellers were considerate and it was quiet, slept well. You can sign up for shuttle bus (MPT -Mountain Park Transportation) to the lakes at the hostel, although I would recommend doing that online (and early!) - Moraine Lake is especially busy during tourist season. The bus stop for this shuttle bus (there are several) is right outside, hostels parking lot. If you just want to visit Lake Louise lakeside the public bus might be the cheaper option, but a bit of a walk to this station. You can either use the kitchen (buy food at the grocery store near visitor information, 8min walk) or enjoy the restaurant’s breakfast options.
