Cost: Wicked Hostel Calgary, Calgary’s newest and ONLY backpacker hostel owned and operated entirely by backpackers, for backpackers. Nestled in the heart of the Calgary Beltline, Wicked Hostel is the closest possible accommodation to the Calgary Stampede Grounds and Saddledome, in fact, it’s just across the street. We are also the closest hostel to the Calgary City Train/Transit system. The Calgary City Stampede Train Station is also literally right across the street so you don’t have to worry about hiking 2 km with your backpacks wandering around searching for your hostel. We are located on 17th Ave only three blocks from the Red Mile; Calgary’s famous party avenue. We are 4 blocks away from the trendy 4th St. and Mission entertainment and shopping areas (dining, drinking and shopping) For a bit of mall shopping its only a few minutes by train to Calgary’s Chinook Shopping Center. We are a 5 minute walk to the Calgary Tower and heart of Calgary’s downtown, 2 minutes to the Talisman Center (Olympic training facilities/pools/track), 2 minutes to the nearest local deli/grocer and 15 minutes to the nearest national-brand supermarket (less if you take the bus).

Do you like the word "free" because we offer all of the standards you should be used to like free continental breakfast every morning, free tea and coffee all the time, free linens (we even make your bed up for you before you arrive), we will even do your laundry for you for free if you are staying for a week or longer. Feel like calling home but don't have a phone card, well we've outfitted our computer room with Skype Phones so you can call overseas to over 40 countries (land-line numbers) absolutely free. And guess what, we have free parking too, something not often found in Calgary. We also provide planned activities like group skating or tobogganing in the winter or *floats* down the Bow River and free BBQ’s in the summer. Sometimes, we just decide today’s a good day to do a communal free supper for everyone. We even have a digital movie projector for "I've-Hit-The-Wall" Tuesday movie nights (projected on the wall) so you are free to relax have a hectic weekend exploring Calgary.

We also thought after hiking down the Bow River trail, sight-seeing around downtown Calgary or just spending the day in Banff skiing, you might want to get a good night’s rest, so we fit all of our beds with hotel-quality pillow-top spring mattresses.

For security we have CCTV cameras throughout the common areas and corridors as well as keypad-locked front door (locked after 9pm). For the security of our guests, we only accept genuine backpackers carrying government-issued out of province/country ID and luggage/backpacks. We require a security deposit for group bookings of 5 or more and will not accept student groups, stag/stagette parties and guests under the age of 18.

So if you are the kind of person who wants to make the most of their stay in Calgary and are looking to stay in the newest hostel with the best location and staff that really understand the needs of backpackers, please check us out.

Comments: There is no better way to experience the 5 Star Wilderness of the South Chilcotin Mountains. Experience the night stars, vast skies, towering mountain ranges, and endless scenery. Travel ancient game trails, wild flowering meadows, and hear the rush of glacial fed rivers.

While our Ranch is easily reached by vehicle, access to the pristine wilderness of our guide territory is by foot, horse or float plane only. Its remoteness helps preserve the outstanding quality of wilderness. The glaciated shale terrain makes summitting challenging yet obtainable, no matter what your method of travel.

The South Chilcotins lie within a transition zone between the Coast Mountains and the Chilcotin Plateau. This favoured position produces a rainshadow. This means sunny skies and a dry climate. The environment is "almost bug-free."

The area is renowned for its bio-diversity. An outstanding variety of wildlife and vegetation inhabits our guide area. California Bighorn sheep, Moose, Mule deer, Mountain goat, Grizzly, Black bear and wolf are plentiful and frequently sighted.

“Chilcotin” is an Indian name meaning "People of the Blue Water". The glaciers give the lakes throughout our territory an emerald turquoise colour.

The Pioneer Trail
Hike along well-defined horse trails once used by explorers, pioneers, and gold miners. Wildlife will greet you along the trail. Loons call to you from the lake. The star-studded skies, and the campfire will round out your hiking experience.

Chilcotin Holidays Guided Hiking Program

Comments: Heron guest house is in a superb location--close to Heriot Bay Inn (5 min. walk), but we are on a very quiet road. Heriot Bay Inn has great entertainment. We have pretty fine musicians here and there is always something wonderful going on in summer.

• Wednesday is Kareoke.
• on Friday nights there is always a live band. We are the home of Mother Mother--music buffs will know of them.
• Saturday local Jam night.
• Sunday is classy Jazz night.
• Any night of the week you can play pool.
The view from the main house is...well it doesn't get much better...just to sit on the deck and watch the bird life--eagles ,herons and gulls and the sealife--seals and otters. In winter many migrating birds come in close to shore for a real closeup. The tides are gentle this side of the island and so the swimming is safe on our beach. The Village Bay lakes are a 20 minute drive away for fresh water swimming and Cortez is just a lovely 50 minute boat ride away, so we pretty much have it all. We hope to see you on our beautiful quadra island .

We are also within walking distance to shops, park, liquor store, hiking trails and of course the beach is on our front doorstep. We live in a fabulous part of the world--kayak and bike rentals 3 blocks away with very safe waters for recreational exploration.

Comments: The hostel has a rich history, the building was the 'Hôtel de la Baie de gaspé', 50 years ago. Originally, Gespeg signified in Amerindian language "where mountains meet with the sea".

The hostel is located at the southern headland of the Gaspé Peninsula, in the village of Cap-Aux-Os, within sight of the Forillon national park. In 1623, missionary Gabriel Sagard who was visiting Gaspé, related that the continuous roar of the whales and the noise from their blowholes troubled their sleep. Numerous bones from these mammals found on the beach inspired them the toponym Cap-Aux-Os (Cape of Bones).

Forillon is known for its whalewatching, and is only ten minutes from the Forillon National Park, which also hosts plenty of bears, beavers and seals.

Comments: Welcome to Auberge L'Apéro, a European-style hostel in North America's most European city, Montreal. Apéro is the French word for aperitif - the beginning of a great meal or in this case - a great vacation.

Located in the heart of downtown, Auberge L'Apéro offers you safe, comfortable accommodations just a heartbeat from the action.

With only 18 beds, we offer a cozy, personalized atmosphere on two floors of an old 1880s graystone with all the amenities you expect from a hostel, and many that you don't. The rooms are bright with hardwood floors and some interior brick walls that add an air of coziness to the Auberge. The second floor contains the reception area, the store, common rooms, and the laundry. The top floor is the residence that includes the dorms, bathroom facilities, and kitchen.

One of the features of Auberge L'Apéro is our beautiful terrace where you can relax and enjoy your continental breakfast in the sunshine, or come back for an apéro at the end of wonderful afternoon of sightseeing before heading out to dinner. We also feature a fully equipped kitchen, a communal TV room with free Internet and hi-speed Wi-fi access, and laundry facilities. Most importantly, there is no curfew so you will be free to explore the city and its famous (and fabulous!) nightlife to your heart's content.

What sets Auberge L'Apéro apart from other hostels is our attention to detail. We treat you as guests, not passers-through, and you will find our personalized service not unlike the service you would find in a hotel.

Auberge L'Apéro is not just a regular hostel that happens to be in Montreal, L'Apéro is like Montreal. It reflects the city's vibrant social life and European style. Don't just visit the city, be part of it at Auberge L'Apéro.

Montreal is a city of festivals and our location gives easy access, either on foot or by Metro, to the venues of all of our great festivals. Whether you come to our city for Jazz, Comedy, the Fringe Festival or les Nuits d'Afrique, you will be close enough to walk, but far enough away to relax and sleep in quiet and comfort.

  Three-Rivers is the second oldest city of Canada. With her 375 years of existence, this one is full of a picturesque history, a poetic culture and an imposing nature, which characterizes her landscape marvelously. The International Inn of Three-Rivers offers you a high quality lodging service in a perfect atmosphere characterized by a typical Quebecer home. More than a hundred years old, the building has preserved its taste of yesterday in a completely refitted decor. The hostel is located in the heart of downtown where are located historic sites, museums, cultural events, restaurants, terraces, bars, cafés, shops and many more things. A splendid harbor park borders the whole with access to the St-Laurent River for wonderful scenic adventure. For you, at the hostel, various services are offered: a fully equipped kitchen, laundry, games, books, as well as a large exterior terrace. FREE INTERET ACCESS, and parking is also available for free. Everything is very clean, quiet, comfortable and welcoming. Furthermore, the environment is one of our main concerns, and for this reason we are thriving to make the hostel a greener one, by making green changes, for everyone's well-being. We are also a sustainable center ( prepaid card for Amigo express carpooling, free location of bicycle and bus ticket).
  
  Hope to see you soon to enable you to discover every aspect of the city.
