Canmore Downtown Hostel

Canmore

Situated 26 km from The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Canmore Downtown Hostel features rooms with air conditioning in Canmore. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is located 27 km from Banff Park Museum. The location and the views were amazing. My bed was facing all the beautiful mountains and for a hostel, you have a great amount of privacy in your room. The showers, bathrooms and kitchens are clean very often and the people are always so helpful! I also felt very safe and secure. 10/10 recommend.
