We stayed at the hostel for 4 nights in a dorm, and besides the noisy room mates, we had an excellent stay! Free breakfast, free wifi, lovely game/tv room, close to town and great service! The beds were maybe a bit uncomfortable since the wooden frame was leveled with the mattress, but otherwise it was all good! More

This HI is in a strange area as there seems to be a lot of construction work and car parks! However, it's only a short walk to downtown so no major issue. We had a private double with ensuite which was big, clean and comfortable. The staff are really friendly and the price includes a great self-serve breakfast including do... More

The location is great - in downtown Calgary, only 3 minutes by walk to C-train's city hall station. The service and facility are good - free coffee, free breakfast, pc and internet in the main floor (with very reasonable fee), shower, flashlight, etc. The front-desk staff (Danny, a guy from Quebec) is very friendly and helpful. They also orginize trip... More

I flew into Calgary for a weekend to take in the city and attend the Calgary tattoo convention. - The location was great, just on the edge of downtown. A block away from the LRT. - Very friendly atmosphere, lots of people around - No roudy guests, I was never disturbed by thumping, crashing or banging. Quiet at night. -... More

The staff at the HI Calgary were very helpful and friendly. They were able to give directions and research any necessary information for visitors, and the reception was open 24 hours. The hostel was really clean and tidy and the kitchen was spacious and had some free food and plenty of utensils. Most importantly....free pancakes! Fresh towels were provided and... More

We stayed here in mid-July 2011 for the last weekend of the Stampede. I had booked our accommodation at the HI well in advance knowing that much of the accommodation sells out during this busy time. Later on, a friend decided she was going to join us so I was able to extend our original booking for three people to... More

I stayed here with friends for the Calgary Stampede.There was some initial confusion about prices when checking in (my fault) and being put in a co-ed dorm instead of a female one. However Jason (the manager) who checked us in was fantastic and went out of his way to ensure we were happy. He sorted it out so that we... More
