Located in Calgary and with Calgary Tower reachable within 6.2 km, The Calgary Hub hostel style Home provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. Each room is fitted with a patio. Staying at the homestay was a really relaxing and comfortable experience. Ben and Marthika were very informative from the beginning on where things were around the home and provided helpful information about the area. Meeting other travellers was a highlight at the homestay as who I met tended to be longer-duration guests who had interesting stories to share about their time in Canada. The blueberry waffles were well-prepared and delicious, hitting the home-cooked itch I didn’t know I wanted. I would definitely recommend this accommodation because of the friendly staff and enjoyable communal environment.

This has been my second time staying there, what gives an idea how much I liked it. Staff received me as an old friend that you have not seen for a long time. I just copy and paste what I put last time: Breakfast was good, the location is right in the centre of Calgary. The place had everything that I needed and the staff was always helpful and willing to help. Other services that were good to have available: phone to call (I did not have signal) and a pool table.
