Positive: I am happy that you have the 'grab & go' boxes, it comes in handy esp if you've an early start. The room is fine and I think I'm lucky to have a bed by the window so there's an extra space to put my belongings and the room mates are great. Location is prefect, easy access to all local amenities.
Negative: Not so sure but I guess it was unlucky for me. Tummy wasn't feeling good after having breakfast but on a happy note I was always lucky I managed to get to the toilet on time! Housekeeping some days great, some days not so.
Summary: Totally enjoyed, esp the staff are friendly, helpful & accommodating. Will definitely return again!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: 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.
Negative: 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.
Summary: Clean and Cozy Hostel Perfect for Solo Travelers
