Property Description

This SameSun Lodge is all a traveler to Banff needs. It’s right downtown. It’s got a funky, friendly atmosphere. And we’ve just made it better than ever!

What was once Global Village Banff is now the brand spanking newly renovated SameSun Banff Lodge, and we think it’s one of our best. Benefiting from a large new kitchen, common areas and outdoor patio it’s the perfect place to base yourself when exploring this world famous destination. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are superstars (ahem...not literally...don’t expect Pamela Anderson to check you in). And all this right where YOU need it.

We can help you book a ski package to make sure you don’t miss out on the mountains. We’ll let you know the best bars and eating-places in town. We will want to come with you!

Even if you’re strapped for cash there’s always something to do in the lodge itself... games room + hot tub + lots of other happy backpackers = good time!

Stayed here before? Check out the photo galleries and VR tours to see the improvements for yourself. Be sure to book ahead, this place is an all year round kinda town.

Don't take our word for it Lonely Planet said SameSun Banff '...is everything a hostel should be!'

    ADDRESS


    HI-Banff Alpine Centre
    #801 Coyote Dr.
    Banff, Canada

    DIRECTIONS


    1) Jump on the city transit at any of the stops on Banff Avenue, the main street in town; tell the driver you want to go to the hostel on Tunnel Mountain Road and he'll drop you off at our door! (The bus runs every 1/2 hour)

    2) Grab a taxi - it costs between $4 and $5 dollars depending on where you jump on and it's a quick ride to our front door.

    3) Our Hostel Shuttle! This service runs seasonally, so call us when you arrive in Banff to find out when to hop on!

    4) Walk! If it's a nice day, it's a great way to see the town and the mountains. We're about a 20-minute walk from the bus station. Just leave the station, turn left on Lynx st., left on Wolf st., left on Tunnel Mountain Drive and follow the road to the top of the hill. Look for our sign on the left hand side of the road right after Tunnel Mountain Chalets.
