Frequently Asked Questions
about group stays with HI Canada
What to Expect
How far in advance can I make a booking? We are currently accepting bookings through to March 31st, 2025.
How big is a "group"? Can I book with my friends and family? Groups are any group of 10 or more people, whether that's an organized group like a tour or a team, or just a bunch of friends and family travelling together.
Can I book multiple hostels all at once? Yes. Your dedicated group coordinator will look after that!
Will my group all stay together? One of the perks of hostelling is that no two hostels are the same! While the room configurations vary between hostels, we'll always do our best to allocate rooms and beds to suit your group's needs, however, this may depend on other groups or guests that have already booked in and had rooms assigned.
How big are the dorms? What's in the private rooms? This really depends on the hostel, since they're all different! Select a hostel above to learn a bit more about the room configurations at the hostel you're interested in, or send us an inquiry and we'll give you the lay of the land.
Will the rooms be private to just my group? We will do our best to make your rooms private to your group. This depends on room availability and your numbers, as well as the configuration of each property. Typically, our pricing is based on the full use of the room, which ensures your privacy.
Can you help me arrange activities for my group? We have many activity partners in each location and we'd be happy to share our knowledge and passion to help you plan your trip.
Is there a kitchen we can use? Yes, all of our hostels have fully equipped kitchens. You just need to bring the groceries. For specific details about what's available in each kitchen, select a hostel above to learn more or get in touch.
Is catering available? Catering is available to groups at many hostels, except our remote wilderness hostels in the Rockies.
Is there a meeting room we can use? Hostels are known for their communal spaces! Many of our hostels have meeting rooms or spaces available for your group to use. For details, get in touch with the hostel or a groups representative.
What safety measures do you have in place at your hostels? All HI Canada hostels comply with health measures imposed by local, provincial and federal governments. To learn more about our safety measures visit hihostels.ca/staysafe. Many of our larger resort and urban hostels are staffed 24-hours a day and sleeping rooms are equipped with secure key-card locks, and the comfort and safety of all of our guests is our top priority. Many hostels also provide secure in-room storage (bring your own lock) and luggage and gear storage for all guests.
