Staff are amazingly helpful and friendly, kitchen facilities are the best I’ve seen in a hostel so far and kept pretty clean! Easy to walk to the train or downtown in general.

Mixed room ended up being entirely male (plus me) for the entire time, I guess I should have expected that but it would have been nice to have privacy curtains or something. We had a fan that worked for a little while but someone kept turning it off in the night so it was just too hot when you were trying to sleep! Not ideal.

This hostel literally made my trip! The staff is really kind, friendly and ready to help you with any needs. And although I may have gotten lucky, people in my room where awesome. Everything is very clean and works as expected.

Well, it's downtown, so although it is a very nice location to help you move around the city, there are still lots of drug addicts near the area. I felt very safe but still it's kind of a weird view if you are not used to it.

Acceptable breakfast Clean facility

I booked two nights but needed to move to another room even though there was nobody in my room. I did not understand why i needed to move. Shower room was not easy to use. There is nowhere to put my clothes. Room was noizy and not be able to sleep well which can not be expected because it's "hostel". If the price would be cheaper, going to be satisfied more.

The location is great. In the heart of downtown and 3 minutes walk to the huge supermarket which works until 10pm. Very clean and well designed beds. No insects. Clean room and bedding liners. Breakfast has juice, tea, coffee, milk, cereal, ham, eggs, waffles, and a lot of toppings. They have a quiet room. Straight bus from anf to the airport for 2£ (roughly 40 minutes) and then less than 10 minutes walk to the hostel. Also, save to walk as a solo female in my early 20s. The area around was quit but with enough people. The bathroom was also clean. Also, there is enough storage space for everyone. You have your own box(bring the lock, I bought mine for 6 cad on the reception) to store you stuff, enough hooks, and under the bed space in free for shoes or backpacks. Also was the cheapest option in Calgary, and I liked it

Late breakfast. Starts at 8am. And a lot of excursions to Rockies do a pick up way earlier than 8🥲 Not enough charges. The one place where you can charge is locates near the window and there were 6 beds in my room. We were able to charge because we have our own adapters

It’s a great value place to stay, really convenient location just in the middle of the city. If you are considering going to a Banff tour trip they have pick up locations with 10 mins walking. Overall great experience, I stayed there in April and coming back June, that can pretty much sup up my experience with this place.

No huge concerns overall, but shower area was not always the cleanest, which I understand is hard to keep up with so many people staying there. I also find it interesting that you need to leave your ID card on the reception in order to get a blow dried, not sure if this is a common experience for such item to be stolen.

The staff were so kind and helpful! I didn't realise when booking the hostel had a laundry room so this was a pleasant surprise to wash my airport and running clothes! Easy keycard access and someone at the front desk all the time. I also left my running shoes behind and the staff were great in retrieving them from the room and putting them aside for me to collect at a later day. The value for money is amazing if you want to be close to downtown. Good Earth is just across the road and do amazing coffee, I also walked to Rosso Coffee Roasters on 17th avenue for a great coffee and vegan chocolate chip cookie! The lockers are such a good size, I managed to fit my roller carry on suitcase, backpack and shoes inside.

The staff was very helpful. They have a coin operated laundry room. The room was comfortable and the location was close to everything.

Although the private room downstairs was comfortable, it was soooo loud (i think there is a bathroom above it?) - we heard banging upstairs all night, definitely bring your ear plugs Just a heads up - all the food in the kitchen ia peoples personal food. The free breakfast is yogurt and cereal in front of the kitchen (at least it was at the time we stayed here).

Free breakfast from 8am to 9:30am, includes boiled eggs, toast with jam, peanut butter etc, waffles, cereal and milk, coffee, tea, apple and orange juice, yoghurt. I think this is very generous considering the price I paid! Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night so I didn't get to fully use all the amazing amenities available like the pool table, and hang out rooms with plenty of books, lounges and chess board. I would love to have stayed longer.

Nothing. Everything was excellent and exceeded my expectations.

Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. Kitchen was set up wonderfully and really appreciate the bins provided for storing food. Staff was friendly. Convenience of having access to things like towels and storage was great.

Location although centrally located is a bit dark. Signage should be improved as hidden due to overgrowth of trees and difficult to see from the road making entrance to the building easily missed. A simple flag or picket sign at the front of the fence would help.

HI Calgary City Centre Hostel exceeded my expectations in every way! From the moment I arrived, the friendly and helpful front desk staff made me feel at home. Their hospitality truly stood out and set the tone for a fantastic stay. The location is unbeatable, conveniently near the tram station, making it easy to explore the city. The hostel itself is well-maintained and provides a comfortable and quiet stay. The reading room is an excellent spot to unwind, offering a peaceful atmosphere that I appreciated after a day of sightseeing. Cleanliness is clearly a priority here, as the toilets and common areas were spotless. The addition of pool tables was a fun touch and a great way to socialize with fellow travelers. Breakfast was another highlight – hearty and delicious, perfect for fueling up for the day. Plus, having tea and coffee available 24/7 was a thoughtful perk. Overall, HI Calgary City Centre Hostel is an excellent choice for travelers seeking a comfortable, clean, and friendly place to stay in Calgary. Highly recommend! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
