We stayed at this HI for one night before travelling to Skoki the following day. I have never stayed in a hostel before and I was somewhat shocked at the small size of the private room. For $110.00 per night I was expecting something larger but hotel rooms in Lake Louise are very expensive . In a private room you... More

Ive stayed at this HI about half a dozen times now, it is simply the best accommodation in the area for the price you pay obviously because its a hostel, though the only hostel in Lake Louise. The restaurant is great and serve a fantastic big breaky that will help you get up the hill. The shuttle for Lake Louise... More

We stayed 2 nights and wished we had planned one more. We are not hostel folks normally but were trying to save a little money and this one looked especially nice on web. It was! Beautiful building, lovely living room and great cafe. Next time we'd cook more in the large kitchen. This time only used it for breakfast one... More

This place is a nice place to stay for a few days. Affordable, clean, great restaurant. This was though the noisiest place I have ever stayed. Not the walls but the floors. Be sure to get a top floor room as if there is anyone above you they may be incredibly noisy. Bone-jarring noisy. More

This place is better than I expected given the mixed reviews. Our family of 3 stayed here for 1 night and we were pretty happy with it. We got a private room with a full bed on the bottom and 1 single bed on top. The room is small and you do share a bathroom with the room next door.... More

We don't often stay at hostels, but the prices of accommodations in Banff National Park, especially near Lake Louise were really out of my range. So I looked at this hostel and when I saw they had private rooms I signed us up. We had a bathroom shared with one other room. The kitchen facilities were great and allowed us... More

I stayed in quite a few HI Hostels this summer and this hostel in Lake Louise was one of the best, if not the best. Spacious dormrooms, clean, excellent location, nice common lounge area, lots of facilities including a restaurant, plenty of parkingspace. All the things you hope for in a good hostel and a little more than that... It... More

My husband and I stayed there 15 years (before children). We had a room with a double bed and a loft which was pretty cool. This time, my 12 year old son and 8 year old daughter stayed in a "family room" - the only one with a full bathroom (AND the only one with a shower). We had two... More

Thank you for your comments. I am glad to hear your family enjoyed your stay with us. To answer your question, the cute little animals are ground squirrels. Also, the bear you saw last week continues to visit us every night at the hostel! Thanks, Linda General Manager More

We stayed for one night at the end of July 2011. We had a private room with a double bed and a shared bathroom. The bed was not very comfortable but it's difficult to find better accommodations in Lake Louise unless you book far in advance. We are not members of Hosteling International and the charge listed for non-members in... More

My family of 6 stayed at HI Lake Louise when we had one extra night before our flight home. We booked the room to accommodate the 6 of us. It had 3 sets of bunk beds and was quite small but very clean and had plenty of storage area. Our floor had 5 individual showers and only 1 bathroom, which... More
