“This hostel stands out for its prime location in the heart of Canmore. I noted that they prioritize security with electronic key code access, and that the female-only dorms are priced the same as mixed rooms, which I see as a great plus for solo female travelers. While some rooms above the bar may experience noise, a discount at the bar itself is a welcome perk.”
