My husband and I spent time in both the Rockies and BC/Vancouver Island, and both are in firm agreement that our five nights in Field were the best (we extended our stay, we loved it so much!). The hostel is beautiful and well designed. It is more expensive than other hostels, but it is well worth the money. Everything is... More

I believe that the owner must put many thoughts when designing the hostel. It is very considerate to make it simple and economic while in the meantime secure, convenient and comfortable. As lots wrote, this is very likely one of the best hostel in the country. Everything is neat, clean and well-managed. There might be only one issue: with such... More

This was a lovely hostel. The bedroom, bathrooms and kitchen were clean, modern and comfortable. There is a large common room with a nice fireplace and tons of boardgames. The kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and tableware you would ever need and they even offer complimentary milk, coffee, condiments and some other foods for guests. The bedroom we... More

We only stayed here for one night in a room with two sets of bunks. The place is spotless and nicely decorated and furnished--a step up from the usual hostel. The kitchen is excellent and even has children's crockery and cutlery, coffee presses and anything else you could want! It is a small and very friendly hostel run by very... More

Of all the parks in Canada my favorite was Yoho, and one of the best experiences was spending the evening in the town of Field. Great dinner at the pub and then a great evening in the cleanest and most comfortable hostels I've ever been in the world. In fact, I think it is much better than most of the... More

Warm, friendly home away from home. This place is not your average hostel. Owners Craig and Kim have put a heap of effort into making this place a fantastic place to stay in the rockies. Craig is extremely understanding of a hikers needs. He offered a place to dry off tents and hiking gear before we even asked. The Kitchen... More

This place is immaculate! Kim and Craig are very helpful hosts, they don't live on the property but they must live close by. If you need anything during your stay, just use the walkie talkie and one of them will show up in 2 minutes. This is shoes-off hostel, the rooms are upstairs and living / dining area and kitchen...

Three of us had been struggling to find economical accommodation near Lake Louise and were put off my the chaos and noise of the Lake Louise hostel. We took a chance at the Fireweed and were very impressed with this small, modern hostel. It is not a backpackers hostel but caters to families or travelers who value a quiet, well... More

We arrived at Fireweed Hostel after spending a night at the HI in Lake Louise. In comparison, Fireweed is newer, cleaner, slightly smaller and with lots more charm. Craig (the owner of Fireweed) personally greeted and showed us to our room (with full sized bed and down comforter) and then to the spacious living room with fireplace (ready to light)... More

We stayed in a private room (which was essentially a room with three bunk beds just for the two of us) for two nights and simply loved the Fireweed. The owner is very nice and has loads of tips for hiking Yoho National Park. The kitchen is the greatest! Very clean, fully equipped, new appliances, a lot of storage space... More
