HI Nordegg - Hostel

Beautiful hostel and it has everything you need for a really nice stay. Would highly recommend

Well run wilderness hostel. Clean, good beds, warm atmosphere.

Beautiful and well appointed. The sauna was a bonus

We had a reservation here as part of a road trip through the Canadian Rockies. Unfortunately, the section of highway between Lake Louise and Jasper was closed for over a week due to an avalanche. It is important to understand that this is the only road that allows access to this hostel. Because of the closure it was physically impossible for us, or for any travelers, to reach the property. Every other accommodation we had booked on the route immediately acknowledged the situation and issued full refunds, since guests could not reach their properties. Every single place handled the situation professionally and fairly. Except this one. For an entire week they did not respond at all. Not to phone calls, not to Booking messages, not to emails, and not even to Booking.com customer service agents who tried contacting them directly. After a full week of silence, and only after pressure from Booking, they finally responded by simply rejecting the free cancellation request. No explanation, no apology, nothing. In the end we obviously never stayed here because reaching the hostel was impossible. However, the management apparently has no problem charging guests even when the only road leading to the property is closed. Anyone considering staying here should take this into account: this is a remote nature destination, and unexpected situations can easily happen during a trip. If you ever need to contact this hostel or rely on their understanding, you may simply never receive a response. And based on our experience, even when they do respond, they show very little fairness or consideration toward their guests.

Best place to stay in Nodegg

Danielle is an amazing host, the set up is comfortable and the log cabin in the woods is amazing! I love the plugs at each bunk too!

I don't think there was anything.

I really loved the rustic log cabin look, and the peacefulness.

I didn’t like that there wasn’t any privacy curtains around the beds.

Needed one night enroute to join Icefields Parkway. This was reasonable on price given the time of the year. Booked private room with shared bathroom. Room was spacious and clean. Close to town where I headed to find dinner. Didn't use kitchen facilities in accom as I got going early.

Surprised by how inconsiderate other guests are with noise etc.

Kitchen. Living space. Outside.

My stay at the hostel was excellent. The place is clean, quiet, and very comfortable, making it perfect for travelers looking for a good night’s rest.

We arrived very late in the evening, had 15 minutes to spare , Host was very friendly and explained staying at a Hostel since this was our first time. Facilities were awesome,clean and comfortable.We basically went to sleep and left as soon as we got up.Most affordable for the Would have been great to have more time to look around or use the grounds as they looked awesome

Hosteling is a different experience, Wasn't exactly sure who worked there or how to check in. Maybe more instructions for first timers upon arrival

Up to date amenities!

excellent place, nice private room for 2, they have teas and coffee and a nice big kitchen, nice fire outside, balcony was really nice. i loved all of it.

Only thing I didn't like was how you can hear all the doors slamming in the morning.

The place is clean, comfortable and affordable everything we needed was there

Some guests aren't very considerate of the quiet hours, but it's a hostel so it was to be expected

Perfect place with good vibes.

Quiet and secluded, very relaxing and peaceful. Staff were friendly but non-intrusive. Special thanks to Michael for lighting the fire pit for us. Very clean property, I have stayed in much worse hotels! We stayed in a family room and it met our needs perfectly, felt safe and home from home!

Nothing! It was honestly great

L’emplacement

Manque de salle de bain

The shower was NOT operational. After a long, hard, sweaty day of work, a shower is a must!

Loved mostly everything about it .

Because of renovations going on the building , you. An hear people upstairs talking or people downstairs talking, there is no noise barrier.

The bed was comfortable. The bed linens provided were clean and warm. The hostel is cozy and inviting. Great kitchen facilities with tea and coffee included. Great value for money. The location is stunning, lovely views.

Only issue was differing schedules of the others staying in my shared room who came back in the early hours of the morning & I had to get up early for hiking. Not sure if or how that could be remedied. Not the hostels fault. The building is a little creaky, especially the bathroom doors, which we were next to - bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper.

El personal y limpieza

La relación calidad precio. Ya que el baño es compartido. Un

Ubicacion en un paraje espectacular. Cocina muy bien equipada y amplia. Zona comeder y estar muy acogedora.

Aseos y duchas escasos para toda la gente.

Les équipements, le calme, les produits de 1ière nécessité (sel, poivre, huile, ....), la localisation

Le manque de respect des lieux de certains locataires Mise à disposition de serviettes papier sur les tables Me semble inutile

"Great hospitality and a super friendly manager who was a pleasure to chat with! The hostel is very clean, cozy, and has a warm vibe. It’s highly budget-friendly with an excellent price-to-quality ratio. The location isn't perfect, but everything else makes up for it."

La cocina era muy completa, había de todo.

Superbe auberge dans un cadre paisible. Danielle et Michael sont accueillants et disponibles ! On peut apercevoir des biches dans le jardin ! On aurait aimé rester plus longtemps dans ce petit cocon !!

Chalet en rondin, perdu au milieu de nul part d'où nous pouvons voir des animaux. L'ambiance calme de la maison, la cuisine bien équipée, lit confortable, salon cosy avec son poêle à bois

Peut-être pas assez de salle de bain

Es war total schön, geschmackvoll und sauber. Ich empfehle es allen weiter! Ein absoluter Geheimtipp

Es war eins der schönsten Hostels wo ich bisher war... sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre. Danielle die Besitzerin war super lieb und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist sehr weit im Wald wodurch es sehr ruhig ist was wir richtig genossen haben keinen Straßenlärm zu hören in der Nacht. Wir würden auf jedenfall wieder kommen.

Es war alles top.

It was in a gorgeous area, quiet and peaceful. It was incredible

I loved that the linen was clean, pillows and bed comfy, the beauty of the hostel itself, the sauna, the nature to hang out in, the deck and bbq, the kitchen was well laid out, staff were super friendly. The indoor fireplace too and lounge area.

Just the smell of the water…but I get it….and after being there for a couple hours I got used to it….the bottled water for drinking was perfect.

Feels like home

If you’re looking for a quiet and remote place to stay, this motel is a great option. It’s located a few kilometers off the main road between Rocky Mountain House and the Rockies, making it a peaceful spot away from traffic and noise. There are a few useful amenities nearby — I had dinner just across the road, and there’s also a gas station and a café where you can grab breakfast. The hostel itself has a large, well-equipped kitchen that guests can use, which is very convenient, and the common area is comfortable and inviting. The room for four people felt a bit tight, and the bathrooms are shared, which might not suit everyone. However, if you value a calm atmosphere and don’t mind these minor inconveniences, it’s a solid choice.

Small room, thin walls

El personal muy amable, las mejores instalaciones de albergue que he visto hasta la fecha, ubicación inmejorable y todo muy limpio.

Nada

We loved that the cabin was accessible, has plenty of room in the kitchen, lounge and dining for all the guests to enjoy. It’s great too that you can cook in the kitchen with enough stove, fridges, utensils, prep space and complimentary drinks.

It’s nothing major, but would be easier if there’s also showers in the upstairs bathroom. ☺️

Friendly, clean and cozy

You could hear people from the next room

Le calme, l'ambiance, très bon endroit pour ce ressourcer et se reposer !

Rien à reprocher

Large kitchen and clean room

NA

It’s clean and convenient for kitchen use.

The value of the overall staying is a little higher than we expected.

Friendly staff and guests

Walls are a bit thin

Mattress are a lot too be too tiny and hard to have a nice sleep but the rest was so perfect

Very beautiful location. Very clean rooms, bathrooms and common areas. A small collection of books and puzzles are free to use in the lounge/living room area. Lots of seating options. Not wheelchair accessible, all rooms are on the 2nd floor (stair access only). Staff was kind, friendly and very accommodating. I stayed in mid-July 2025, and they're currently undergoing renovations/construction. The rooms had new carpet, drywall, bed frames and personal bed lights. Everything was brand new, so it was very clean! The beds were so comfortable and cozy. There aren't any privacy curtains on the beds, so if that's important to you I'd recommend bringing something like a Turkish towel or large scarf to hang up if you have a bottom bunk. A bath towel was provided. There was also a tower fan in the room. Other hostels I've stayed at in the Rockies do provide shampoo and body wash in the showers, but this one does not. I made the mistake of not coming prepared and had to purchase some at the local general store. Now I know for next time :) A fire pit, sauna, tire swing and picnic tables are adjacent to the lodge as well. Most of the guests were families, small groups, couples and solo travelers. Great kitchen, very large and clean with lots of storage provided. Complimentary tea, coffee and snacks are available for guests. Free wifi with good speed, and it didn't cut in and out much at all considering the area you're in.

It's honestly hard to think of anything. I have no complaints about my stay!

It’s remoteness

I stayed there on Jan 9 - Jan 10 and loved the atmosphere of the hostel. The fireplace was very cozy and the kitchen was impeccably clean and organized. Bonus: they had multiple options of tea available and even a small stash of chocolates. The bedroom was very comfortable, warm, and quiet (to be fair, it didn't look like there were too many guests that night). The manager who checked us in was extremely friendly. He took the time to show us around and showed us some photos of points of interest in the region. I would definitely stay at HI Nordegg again in my next visit.

Gem

nothing

The room was clean and cozy. There were many board games, which were a lot of fun. The kitchen was spacious and bright, and fully equipped.

I like the main floor shared space. Like a home.

The location was srunning

The house was not managed well. The guests were not mindful of one another, loud at the bedroom level until 11. Unnecessarily loud.. kids playing tag up and down the halls n

Having a fridge and freezer along with kitchen access was very helpful! There were hot drink options for us to enjoy such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, which was lovely. For breakfast in the morning, we went across the street to the Miner's Cafe and enjoyed delicious food there.

There's very minimal sound proofing, so if people were having a conversation even in the common area on the main floor, it was heard from our bedroom when we were trying to go to sleep. Thankfully, I always travel with ear plugs, but that would not be good for anyone who does not have ear plugs. For the coffee, cream is not provided... just powdered milk, so I found that it would have been good to bring my own cream or get coffee off site rather than having it at the kitchen there.

Tout est rénové, très mignon. Lars a été très acceuillant et agréable. Jolie petite chambre.

Douche partagée un peu petite.

De ligging. Super mooi. En het ontmoeten van andere gasten.
