Hostels in Alberta, Canada

Hotels in Banff in July were incredibly expensive. A decent hotel cost around 3,000+, which was beyond my means. Although I was initially hesitant to stay in a hostel-like hotel, I took the plunge and it turned out quite well. It's a bonus to have a roommate who doesn't snore. Pros: Laundry, a kitchen, and a common area are all available, meeting basic needs. Cooking your own meals is fun and saves money. Cons: Showering is inconvenient.

This was a convenient place for us to stay, close to our niece for a visit. The staff were very nice, welcoming and friendly. However, the Inn is very old and it shows. It needs fresh carpets, paint and although the lady preparing the free breakfast was wonderful, the facilities and variety of food was very poor. It was set up in what appeared to be a converted hotel room on the 3rd floor, so not very roomy for the number of guests attending. There was pancakes, toast, boiled eggs, some yogurt and fruit and coffee. We didn't bother, especially as there was a lineup out into the hallway.

You get what you paid for. If you are looking for a very affordable place to stay and your only concern is your budget then this is your go to place in Edmonton area. Location wise, it is in an odd place and there aren't shops close to this location so you'll have to go out and drive if you need to buy something. With regards to service, they went above and beyond my requests and are super friendly and welcoming. I requested for a portable heater because they have no way to adjust the heat temp in each room (it's centralized) and they offered me this option for free. Their TVs are smart TV and I'm super amazed because you don't get this in bigger 3 star hotels where you pay almost double the price of what you pay here! You will just have to request in the front desk for the TV's remote control if you want to use the smart tv features like logging in on your streaming apps or casting/mirroring videos from your phone or tablets to the TV's screen..

The location was fantastic. It was about a 10-minute walk to Banff town, and there was a bus stop right in front of the hotel. Breakfast was included, so I had pancakes every morning – they were delicious! I also received fresh bath towels daily, which kept things very clean. The only minor drawback (and perhaps I just couldn't find it) was that there was only one restroom. If someone was using it for a while, it could be a bit inconvenient. It would be great if there were another one in the hotel. I traveled alone, and the room was always quiet, making for a very comfortable stay. Thank you! I'd love to stay here again on my next visit.

The Days Inn Norseman provides a comfortable place to stay while visiting Camrose. Location is close to many amenities, including restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. Easy to access from any direction. The room was clean, and the beds were comfy. We enjoyed our short stay.

Very clean, uncomplicated online check-in, room with code instead of key card, central location, paid parking (8am-8pm) in front of the door

I was a little nervous when I first pulled in but was instantly surprised. This little hidden gem was great for what I was needing. A safe, clean easily accessible place to stay. Though the carpet throughout is slightly dated the staff at check in and check out were polite and friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean (the floors, the bathroom and the beds). Very happy with my choice. A recommendation would be during your next renovation to remove the carpet and put in a hard type floor. a bigger go cup with liquid whitener for the to go coffee station would also be amazing. I look forward to my next stay.

Excellent value for the money if you're looking for a budget place to stay. The bed was very comfortable, the tv & cable worked (believe it or not, in some places, it doesn't, but not at this place), it had a stove, kitchen section, fridge and microwave in my room. The location is excellent because McDonalds & Tim Hortons is next door. They also let me check in about 2 hours earlier (make sure you ask first). Overall, a great place to stay for the money you pay. I'll be back here in the future! Avoid Parkside Inn 10437 100 Ave if you can. It charges way more money and offers way less when compared to this place.

I stayed on the 2nd floor, and the view was absolutely beautiful with excellent facilities. The only thing to note is that you have to check-in at a different hotel.

A very friendly and helpful front desk staff made check-in a great experience, offering plenty of assistance and useful introductions to the area—truly professional and sophisticated service. The lobby was welcoming with drinks, fruits, muffins, and candies, which was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated. While the room wasn’t large, it was clean, neat, and comfortable. The highlight for me was the three EV chargers available on-site, which easily earned this hotel a 5-star rating from me. I will definitely stay here again in the future!
