We are a backpacker-owned hostel run entirely by backpackers so we've been in your shoes and we've tried to make our hostel match and exceed the best amenities we've seen. When you arrive, you are not going to find some random local that knows nothing about backpacking who opened a hostel because he thought it would make a lot of money; we opened this because we really love backpackers and hostelling. We can help you find what you are looking for in Calgary; make suggestions on great places to visit here and even help you with your forward travel plans to other regions. You are not going to find a curfew either; we're not here to tell you when you can have a good time. We do ask that people are courteously quiet after 11:00pm so that anyone wanting to can get a good night's rest but if you decide you want to hang-out in the common room at night or cook a midnight snack you can go right ahead. Personally, it really annoyed me getting to a hostel just to find out that"free" internet actually meant being charged $5 for each half-hour. So, of course, we will have a free internet computer and free WIFI throughout the building. One thing you will not find here is a TV, instead you will find a fully decked out common room with new leather couches, tables and a lot of very interesting backpackers. But if you are really dying to get a bit of TV watching in, we are planning on having"I've-Hit-The-Wall" movie nights every Tuesday (projected on the wall) when you just want to relax after a long hectic weekend.
