Review of: Y Mountain Lodge, Banff, Canada

4/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 16 May 2007

My room at the Banff Y felt pretty institutional. Yes, this is a hostel and so some degree of institutional feel is inevitable, but a coat of paint and a steam clean to get rid of the pervasive smoke smell would really help. Other than that the room wasn't bad; spacious and comfy with decent facilities.

Based on my room alone I wouldn't rush back to the Banff Y, but I do get the impression other rooms are better, and the really killer feature of the hostel is the Sundance Bistro, which I've reviewed separately. The friendly staff behind the reception desk and the awesomeness of the cafe make this somewhere really worth staying, and the location is perfect just the other side of the Bow River from downtown Banff.
