Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    After a few of hostels in Canada I can say the Haven Hostel is a very warm place to stay. Everybody was giving me a feeling to be very welcome. The staff member always tried to address us by our first names and took care of your feelings. The manager helped me with a free lift to the airport and monument. The housekeeping crew did the best and took care that our rooms had a good temperature by the heat. It was the best stay so far in my whole year in Canada.

    I liked everything. One of the best hostel I've been to (and I've been to a lot!). The staff was awesome! The place is very clean and comfortable, there were some ear buds on the bed, I felt very welcomed and there was a lot of attention to details. There was a small fan for each bed and a curtain for more privacy. The showers are super clean.

    It was a nice hostel with wonderful, friendly staff. They did me a Hugh favor by letting me dry out my tent after taking it down in the rain. I liked it so much I stayed an extra day.

    Great location and facilities for an overnight as part of a longer trip. Was able to park the moving truck rental easily, and could view it from the room. Parking area well lighted and was confident that it was a safe place to leave the vehicle. Restaurants and box stores in walking distance; helpful and knowledgeable staff.

    The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable (although the pillows were weirdly shaped). Great location, with easy access, right on the route. Safe parking, with easy access.
