“Awesome location and amazing staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 2, 2012

I needed a place to Stay on a tight budget while in Calgary. This hostel checked all the boxes. Good value, close to public transport, close to the city, helpful and friendly staff as well as a great atmosphere. The free breakfast was also a bonus.

The private room that I was in was clean, of a decent size but was a bit on the noisy side. It was near the common/tv/kitchen area and had an exit door that people went out of very regularly. This is only nitpicking because overall the place was great!

“Great people!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Stayed there last week for the Stampede, had only been able to book two nights as we booked our holiday really late, and when Jeff found out that we didn't have anywhere to stay the Friday and Saturday night he did his best to accommodate us and managed to squeeze us in. Going over as a couple on our own, who you meet really can make or break a holiday and the people working here and the people we met definitely made ours! :) Great hostel, great people, great fun.. would definitely recommend it!

“Like family...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 22, 2012

When I checked into the hostel, I was surprised at how friendly everyone was. Jeff and Lennart were great guys and fun to hang out with... Very helpful and knew the area really well. I stayed for three nights and made some really great friends in that short period. I definitely would recommend staying at this hostel!

“Noise Place good location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2011

is well located, train station and Parking. rooms are small I had 1 for 4 people but it fit 3 ppl with bags whit lot of luck, if is more than 3 people seriously you guys has to leave the bags in hallway, beds are ok. book for 4 nights but leave before my check out date. is impossible to sleep the rooms are next to the common areas, I went for 3 nights and every night people talking or drinking not going so far the last night I sleep there were people making noise until 4 am and the night before a discussion was quite high almost ended in a fight, the hostel has mostly long terms people so every one know each other it does not look like a real backpacker

“Good for the backpacker on the go”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2011

I only stayed at the Wicked hostel for one night before we caught a flight out to Vegas the next day,

was suprised at how quiet the place was, had a bunk room with at least 10 beds all to ourselves, but it was nice and I would stay again.

friendly staff too :D
