Set in Jasper, Jasper East Hostel - Near Jasper National Park East Gate Entrance features a shared lounge. The hostel offers both free WiFi and free private parking.

All guest rooms at the hostel come with a private bathroom and bed linen. Lovely little hostel. It felt very much like the guesthouses I have stayed in in some parts of Europe. The rooms were clean, comfortable and very nicely equipped. The main gathering areas were comfortable and had everything you need. The staff were very welcoming as well. Lots of parking! Directions given were great as it is out of GPS range and made it super easy to find. I would definitely stay again.

HI Mosquito Creek - Wilderness Hostel is located in Lake Louise, 31 km from Lake Louise, and features a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace. The hostel provides a sauna and a shared kitchen.

With a shared bathroom, rooms at the hostel also offer a mountain view. The hostel is well-run by Lars, who gave us a warm welcome upon arrival. The 12-bed dorms are actually split into two parts with 6 beds each which provided a more private and quiet experience than expected. With no electricity, no phone reception, and only 1 hour wifi per day, the hostel forces you to disconnect and instead enjoy the nature, the sauna, and each others' company. With only around 20km to Lake Louise, it is the ideal base for exploring some of the highlights in Banff.
