About SameSun Backpacker Lodge - Banff

Internet Access Breakfast Included 24 hour reception

Located right downtown Banff, walking distance from everything Banff has to offer. Friendly, helpful staff and great activities every night of the week.

After our total overhaul in 2004 we have been doing even more to make your experience in Banff all the better. With new hard wood floors in all the dorms, ensuite washrooms in every room, Free Continental breakfast every morning. We have also added big lockers under most bed's. Benefiting from a large new kitchen, common areas and outdoor patio it's the perfect place to base yourself when exploring this world famous destination. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are knowledgable and willing to help in any way they can. And all this right where YOU need it.

We can help you book a ski package to make sure you don't miss out on the mountains. We'll let you know the best bars and eating-places in town. We will want to come with you!

Even if you're strapped for cash there's always something to do in the lodge itself !
