Incredibly noisy. Above a bar.
Kitchen is not a real kitchen (no stove) and no counterspace.
No staff anywhere. I called them and no answer. I emailed them to cancel and no answer. I ended up booking elsewhere on the first night to not be stuck in this nightmare of a hostel.
Avoid at all costs. Pay the extra and go elsewhere for your own sanity.

They agree to a price in advance with musicians to perform in their bar. However after you arrive they try to not pay because "they can't afford it" (after the bands driven from hours away). They should be charged.

The safety situation here is alarming. The stove won't turn off and constantly burns, posing a serious fire risk that endangers everyone. And the kitchen is very dirty and in a terrible mess.
Noteworthy details: Safety and hygiene

Hello everyone,
I am here to share my experience in the CANMORE HOTEL HOSTEL The worst place to live and very noisy place and they don't even provide any kind of facilities people are working in cash there and the owner exploits them a lot. I will suggest not to visit here

Very noisy as the walls are paper thin in the old building. Amazing location though! Can’t find a better spot in Canmore being on the main street for hospitality and right by the bus terminal to Banff.
No front desk but you get an email code for the doors. Someone was around when we were there so we got a small heater from them when the room was too cold and the heating didn’t work.
Rooms: We had an en suite room but there was no bin and the room was cold when the weather turned. Very noisy from the hallway and the room code locks which beeped every time someone unlocked their door.
Walkability: Super walkable for central Canmore

Very loud!! It could not be allowed to be a hotel above a very loud and noisy night club. You can hear loud live music, kerayake, etc up to 3 am! Book another place since White noise headphones, ear plugs and so on won't work since you are literally in the middle of the club but 2 meter above!
Rooms: Fair
Nearby activities: Good location
Noteworthy details: Very loud until past midnight

We were excited to spend a night in the mountains and ended up sleeping above a literal Rave. It was a Rave night with a DJ at the pub below. Even locals that we spoke to were shocked at the volume and people in the streets. Looking at some other reviews, I should have been more aware. I love staying in hostels and expect a bit of noise but this was over the top!
The room was fine and the location was amazing. It is a historic building so no air conditioning but they do have fans. Limited parking if you arrive later. The alternative parking is a bus area where you have to move your car by 8am. The cost savings make all of this acceptable truthfully.
My issue is that I had forgotten important and expensive medication in the fridge in our room and once we realized it, I called immediately. It was still early around 11 am. I left a message and texted as instructed by the voicemail message. I heard NOTHING from them! HORRIBLE service. Even if it had been disposed of, my fault for forgetting, a return call or text should have been a minimum.
Walkability: Right in the heart of downtown pedestrian area.
Food and drinks: Many restaurants and places to have a beverage in very close proximity.

Very well situated hostel in the heart of Canmore. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly and available. We had a good stay there !
Just be aware that there is a karaoke bar in the same building, so it can be loud at night.

Very expensive for a very small room the size of a small shed ($200 tax included). But very clean and close to everything which is very very good and beautiful. Lots of restaurants for all tastes.
2 partygoers and no one to restore order after 10 p.m.
Nearby activities: Several restaurants, bars and parks
Walkability: Very good, safe and pedestrian.

The only positive is the location. Everything is only few minutes away.
Now the negatives, where should i start. Its old and falling apart, since its a hostel its loud, there were people yelling outside out room at 1am. The bedsheet, blanket, towels, pillows... everything smells. Its worse than a $20 Saskatchewan motel.

Not worth the price. Stinky rooms and beddings. Very dirty common areas. Noisy and disrespectful neighbours. I have nothing good to say about this place.

Okay, a bit pricey for what it was. it should also have been clearer that there was no parking available at the hostel.

The room was clean and the location is great (downtown Canmore). We had a very bad experience though because the hotel is directly above a bar/nightclub. We slept there on a Friday evening in June and there was music absolutely blasting until 2am. Be aware of this if you're staying over a weekend! Bring ear plugs!
