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.
