Beautiful location and construction, dormitory and semi-private rooms, laundry, deli-cafe on premises, and you can work for room. The Banff office takes bookings for the more remote, primitive hostels: Castle Mountain (between Banff and Lake Louise) and the Ribbon Creek Hostel (Kananaskis Village area).
Hostelling International – Canadian Alpine Centre at Lake Louise
203 Village Road, Lake Louise.
Tel: 403-522-2200
A collaboration between the Hostelling Association and the Alpine Club of Canada: outstanding mountain architecture at a bargain price. Laundry, on-site (scrumptious! affordable!) deli, meeting room, dormitory and private
rooms. Reservations; they save some rooms for "walk-ins". You won’t get a better deal in Lake Louise.
