My stay at Samesun Banff, being my first ever hostel stay, exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend solo female travelers stay in the 6-female bunk dormw ith ensuite bathroom. It never felt overcrowded and it was such a great way to make new friends. The bar was always lively for socializing, the rooms were spacious and clean, the beds comfortable, and the kitchen very accessible.
I do wish there were somewhat of a better parking situation for rental cars, but the free parking on Rabbit Street was close enough, so I honestly can't complain! And if you're relying on ROAM transit, there is a stop within very short walking distance from the hostel.

Stayed in a 14 room mixed on July 2025. It splits into 2 adjacent rooms and one of the rooms has AC and the air flows between rooms. 1 bathroom with shower in it. Room and the bathroom are cleaned daily. Hang out area is clean. Kitchen has lots of utensil and big. Lovely and friendly staff. Breakfast was 7:30-10 and has coffee, tea, pancake, toasts, brownies, hard boiled eggs and oranges. The bar puts up an event each night and also has an outdoor sitting area.
Small lockers and the relatively small backpack doesn't fit. Also, there is no light in locker area and can't see the numbers on the lock, a little overhead light would've be nice.

Samesun is in an amazing location to enjoy Banff and the surrounding areas. The dorm room was very spacious and great with 6 females, there was plenty of space for all our belongings, etc. Breakfast was very reasonable, much better than I expected. The online pre-check in made check in very seamless. The staff were very helpful. It was great that there was such a mix of ages of guests, I was worried it was going to be all very young people, but I met a range of people from early twenties, thirties and forties which was really good!
Very minor things, a few of the lockers in the dorm didnt lock, the staff said someone would come to fix these but that didnt happen in the time I was there.

Bed was comfortable. Loved the free breakfast, such a plus. Can't beat the location. Mostly friendly staff.
The piped out rock music on the patio and the bar-- it was often too loud and jarring, especially if you just wanted to kick back after a day of hiking. Maybe vary the style, like include alt rock (eg. Goth Babe, Dr. Dog) and 70's rock.

A/C is not that great as it gets too hot and humid inside the room.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming, was able to leave my suitcase whilst I explored. The rooms were spacious and absolutely perfect for what I needed
Nothing, it was ideal
