Lets start off by letting you know I am a former hostel owner and have stayed in over 100+ having worked in the backpacker industry for many years. This hostel was great on many levels, the only downside for me was the fact that they allow many guests from the oil fields to use it as layover accommodation so the... More

I came to this hostel because I was bringing a group, and I saw that the boy scouts and girl guides stayed here. Unfortunately, they must have come at a different time, or would never stay here again. The common room was filled with drunks from seven oclock onward. Rowdy, completely out of it, drunks. If they were in a... More

We did not enjoy our stay at this hostel, but it was due to the other guests rather than the hostel itself – it might have been because it was off season (January), so that's worth considering. Most other guests staying there were workers who were clearly looking for cheap accommodation. They did not care about their surroundings, nor about... More

The hi-edmonton is a good place to stay. Close to the old town, close to public transport and safeway nearby. What is good? It's very clean, lots of tourist information available, great kitchen and cooking area, laundry service, pool table/table tennis downstairs, internet corner, direct taxi line and wifi (but not so fast). Not so good: slow wifi and not... More

I used the internet, washers, dryers, showers and all were in working order. The staff did their jobs but weren't overly friendly. The place was not too busy... More

I thought it was ok at first and I also thought the service was ok until I went gto leave a little earlier than expected. Not being used to the checkout times, Forgetting that the checkout time was at 11, I went to check out at 1 . A couple hours late. The rude person thought I was lying about... More

But hostel has a nice common area, kitchen, many internet terminals, tv room, and a convenient location. However blankets are very think and dorms are rather big mine was 8... More

I stayed with friends at this hostel, and it was lovely. It was clean, the amenities were good, it was in a great location and close to transit. More
