Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Doesn't deserve is place in Banff
This place should be leveled to the ground. It is an old motel turned into a sorry hostel. The infrastructure is more haphazard post apocalyptic than a proper hostel. It has a liquor store on the premises and it seems that the LOCAL drunks start there and finish up crashing in the hostel. Overall this place gives an impression of subsidized rehab government housing than a place for tourists.
