Banff Hostel
The HI Banff Alpine Center Hostel offers free Internet access and a local bus transit pass. Compared to many other hostels, this one is more like a grand lodge with a large vaulted-beam construction common room with a fireplace and plenty of common tables. Outside the hostel has a man-made 40-foot-tall ice wall so you can practice your skills with your ice tools before you head out and climb. The hostel also offers private cabins. If you are looking for a more natural, and less expensive way to experience Banff, then this is a good option.
Others
