The hygiene is impressive. Despite people constantly coming and going, the facilities—including the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry—were always clean whenever I used them. The hostel is located away from downtown, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty of Banff in peace. My roommates were very polite and made an effort to keep quiet, even when returning late at night. I was lucky to have such considerate and respectful roommates. Overall, I enjoyed the trip in Hi Banff~

All guest rooms at the hostel come with a private bathroom and bed linen. The staff was very kind and explained everything to me, even though I was not very good at English. I broke a pair of tongs while cooking, but the woman didn't blame me and told me I didn't have to pay for it. I'm really grateful.

HI Mosquito Creek - Wilderness Hostel is located in Lake Louise, 31 km from Lake Louise, and features a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel provides a sauna and a shared kitchen.

With a shared bathroom, rooms at the hostel also offer a mountain view. The hostel is well-run by Lars, who gave us a warm welcome upon arrival. The 12-bed dorms are actually split into two parts with 6 beds each which provided a more private and quiet experience than expected. With no electricity, no phone reception, and only 1 hour wifi per day, the hostel forces you to disconnect and instead enjoy the nature, the sauna, and each others' company. With only around 20km to Lake Louise, it is the ideal base for exploring some of the highlights in Banff.
