The front desk staff was so friendly, the check in and check out was very easy. Room is clean, each bunk in the room has its own bed light and electronic charge. The kitchen is very big, hot water and free tea bags were provided all the time. I would recommend this place. The location is in the center of the Calgary downtown, walk in distance to everything nearby. Very safe and convenient place.

Staff were all super friendly and helpful. Only downside was the storage as it quite narrow and doesn’t fit a large suitcase but other than that place was very good

The reason I’m leaving this negative review is because disgusting blonde female receptionist at the front desk in the morning. Same individual who checked my luggage just the previous day approached me while people were having breakfast the following morning asking me to identify myself as a guest in front of 8-10 people. The other staffs were nice and polite. The facility kept clean overall. Great location too.
