Samesun Backpackers Banff en Salzburg, Canada

Loved this place, everything about it was great. Couldnt ask for more in a hostel.Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. Would happily stay again anytime Rachel, from Australia ~ 14th Feb 2012

The staff were great, really friendly and helpful. And the bar was really good to have on site from a social and food perspective - it was cold outside so not to have to venture out to eat was a welcome option! All in all would definitely recommend this place. Made some good friends I plan to stay in contact with despite being in the 31-40 age bracket...! Michelle, from England ~ 17th Jan 2012

Average stay. Mix up with my booking so was placed in an eight person room instead of the six person I'd booked and paid for. Staff didn't think to be apologetic for the mistake. Room doors have manual locks and lock must be physically turned so the door is locked from the outside - roommates inevitably do not do this so your room and security are often at risk. Location decent, up one end of Banff Ave.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed our central location during your visit to Banff. Apologies that the mistake with your booking wasn't caught earlier. We do double check every booking on the day of arrival to ensure this mistake isn't repeated.

Hi, i have been to banff several times but wanted my son josh to experience a hostel. He loved it. He couldn't believe how friendly the staff were and how cheap the booze and food was. I will definitely be recommendingyour hostel to friends and will be seeing you again in the future. Thank you for being so wonderful. PEACE!!! P.S.. angela, from Canada ~ 12th Sep 2011
