Frommer's Review
The 120 beds at the Calgary hostel are the city's most affordable lodgings -- but there are reasons beyond economy to stay here. The hostel is on the edge of downtown, convenient to bars and restaurants along Stephen Avenue and theaters near the performing-arts center. There is a games room, Internet access, homey -- if somewhat dated -- common areas, and it's clean as a whistle. It's very highly rated by guests from all over the world. There are 110 dorm-style beds with two family rooms available. A small convenience store is on site.
Facilities:
Coin-op laundry

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
