Wicked Hostels - Calgary

The hostel location is prime. It is in the Calgary downtown area. Great location. You can walk several minutes to other places in downtown. The hostel is very clean, offering free breakfast, and offering free laundry if you live more than three days. People come and go if they only do a short-stay, but there are long-term tenants as well. Staff members are nice, and answer questions. People living here have diverse background, and they care about each other. The hostel offers different social activities around the week. Free wifi, and you can cook by yourself as well. Space for eating and self-studying are sufficient. If you live with others in an 8-people dormitory, you can still buy a lock to save your valuables in the individual cabin on the wall above your bed. The 8-people dormitory also has outlet near each bed to charge phones and so on. All positive experiences as this is a different life style.

Great place and nice and clean. Breakfast is also great if you get there on time (8am).

Great place to stay, either for short and long term. Everything is clean, the staff and the owner are helpful and friendly. For sure if coming back to Calgary I will go there.

nothing special, but p good / livable for price- esp during stampede weeklocation is great, walking distance from downtown, on the same block as badlandsnear good coffee/ some foodhaven’t stayed in that many hostels but this one seemed decently clean / friendly -outside looks p sketch-reception avail by phone 24/7, but not always at desk

Had a family member book here 5 days in advanced, with emails to prove it, only to have his reservation cancelled the day before his stay. When I called to inquire, the lady on the phone was rude and enforced to me that she would have replied to the booking ‘right away’ when they had noticed something was missing, when they had in fact (with receipt proof) waited 5 days and waited until the day before the event/ stay to cancel his booking. Very unprofessional. I understand this is a hotel for specific stays (for non Alberta residents) but to cancel a stay that wasn’t fixed immediately (and not 5 days later) from an Alberta resident, and to cancel a stay the day before the event/booking, without offering alternative options, is not okay.

My honest review? Yeah ok, it's in a good location and you get free breakfast but there is a very high tolerance for loud noise past 11pm (currently 1am as I write this review due to lack of sleep from noise) no night watch or security so tells you everything you need to know honestly...they offer laundry service but they wash it for you? Super weird but great if you don't care about your clothes. All in all, out of the two hostel's in Calgary, the other one is $5 more but you get bigger lockers and zero tolerance for noise past a certain time.

Nice hotel nice experience nice front desk and nice owner. The front desk is a guy and really helpful and nice. I telephoned in advance and helped me a lot. they even offer free breakfast, I met the owner in the kitchen. the owner is very nice and taught me how to use when I meet difficulties.

As perfect as it could be! The room was clean, so was the bathroom. The staff was supportive and responsive. Was amazed by their service. Many options for breakfast, as well. Highly recommended!

Good setup: electronic entry, small lockers for each bed, individual kitchen baskets. Staff very helpful. Had free simple breakfast. Bathroom could use a few more hooks but not a big deal. Generally clean. Location wise, great downtown central area. Best without a car otherwise downtown parking is available at Calgary rates. Note their location is different now than a couple years before, so there's lots of older photos that do not apply. Also they do not accept Alberta residents.

Everything was fine. Maxime made it way much easier and cooler than some other person's. But other than that very nice!
