SameSun Backpacker Lodges Banff


SameSun Banff
Global Village Backpackers opened on Banff Avenue in 2001, occupying the former Woodland Village Inn.

SameSun Ventures acquired the Banff location in 2004 and undertook extensive renovation of the property, rebranding it as the SameSun Backpackers Lodge. SameSun is Canada's largest backpackers accommodation company, with a network of other hostels across British Columbia.

For the cost-conscious traveller, SameSun Banff is hard to beat, with dorm beds starting from around CAD$30 with en-suite facilities. But what really sets the SameSun apart is its location - just a few minutes' walk to the shops, bars and restaurants of downtown Banff.

The hostel has a fun and friendly atmosphere, with communal areas such as a games room, hot tub, and outdoor patio with barbeque to hang out with new friends and like-minded travellers from around the world.

For those people coming to Banff for the snow, SameSun can also offer customizable ski packages that include accommodation, transport and lift passes.

Facilities and highlights:

  • Dorms and private rooms available
  • 100 beds
  • Central location (5 minutes to downtown)
  • Outdoor courtyard and BBQ
  • Shuttles to ski resorts outside
  • Large common areas and common kitchen
  • Games room and public internet access
  • Indoor hot tub
  • Tours, discounted lift tickets and social activities
  • All inclusive ski packages available
