City center hostel with all the perks.

This is typical of a HI hostel but raised the bar. Though didn't partake in the free breakfast due to fasting but the place was awesome. Friendly and helpful staff and always ready to assist. Right at the City Center and very close to all forms of transportation. I rate it A+++

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.
