We also have one private room for two with a full ensuite, and a two-bedroom suite for four people with a washroom and kitchen.

Are there lockers in the rooms or on the premises?
Each dorm room has one locker per bed.

What are your cancellation policies?

What health and safety measures are in place at the hostel?
All HI Canada hostels comply with health measures imposed by local, provincial and federal regulations. We currently require all guests over the age of 12 to show proof of full Covid-19 vaccination or a negative test result from the past 72 hours. For more information on our hostel safety measures, read our hostel safety measures.

Can I book multiple hostels at once?
Absolutely. Fill out the form below and let us know in the comments box if you're interested in other hostels. We'll work together to come up with an itinerary.

Is there a surcharge for single occupancy?
Dorm rooms are priced by the room based on the total number of beds in the room. If you wish to leave beds empty, you still must pay the full room fee. Some hostels offer discounted private dorm rates at certain times of the year. Private rooms are priced based on double occupancy and there is no single surcharge. For more information, reach out using the form below and we'll be happy to assist.
