Samesun Banff Hostel

The facilities were clean, the staff and lobby were welcoming, and the breakfast was good! The luggage storage facility was also good. I only stayed for a night, but I was satisfied with everything. I'm glad that this offering exists - everything I needed and nothing more, for a good price. Good atmosphere too - there was a nice open mic going on in the night. There was also a convenience store right next door - handy when I was rushing out and wanted something on-the-go.

My stay at Samesun Banff, being my first ever hostel stay, exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend solo female travelers stay in the 6-female bunk dormw ith ensuite bathroom. It never felt overcrowded and it was such a great way to make new friends. The bar was always lively for socializing, the rooms were spacious and clean, the beds comfortable, and the kitchen very accessible.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in! Staff were very friendly! Big Thank you to Linzi who gave us the best advice about what to do in Banff, local recommendations on where to eat and took us out to some cool viewpoints! Linzi really went over and above to make our stay special! Great facilities, we stayed in the 6 bed female dorm and it was so nice to have our own bathroom. Good privacy with curtains on the bunks and our own little fans. Beds were comfy and we slept well. Samesun is a short walk to the main restaurants and bars. Beaver Bar is fab! Enjoyed open mic night, reasonable prices for drinks! Good breakfast, loved the pancakes! Shout out to all the other staff including Larissa, Yvi and of course Katie! Thanks for making us feel so welcome!

Samesun is in an amazing location to enjoy Banff and the surrounding areas. The dorm room was very spacious and great with 6 females, there was plenty of space for all our belongings, etc. Breakfast was very reasonable, much better than I expected. The online pre-check in made check in very seamless. The staff were very helpful. It was great that there was such a mix of ages of guests, I was worried it was going to be all very young people, but I met a range of people from early twenties, thirties and forties which was really good!
