KAYAK's top tips for finding Edmonton hostel deals

  • There are only a few hostels in Edmonton, one of which is located at MacEwan University just outside the city center. The others can be found near The University of Alberta in Windsor Park, just across the North Saskatchewan River. Several landmarks dominate the Edmonton downtown area, including the Alberta Legislature Building, Muttarts Conservatory, and the Royal Alberta Museum. There is a Light Rail Transit system that connects the city to the downtown area, and because of its grid layout, it’s easy to navigate.
  • With a Deluxe Queen Suite and a Four-Bedroom Suite, the accommodations at MacEwan University Residence provide good lodgings for groups looking for inexpensive rooms in a great location. Nearby this hostel in Edmonton are places of interest less than a mile from the university campus, such as Edmonton City Center Mall, St. Joseph’s Basilica, and Sir Winston Churchill Square, plus several restaurants (e.g., Denny’s, Tim Horton’s) and bars (e.g., The Canadian Brewhouse) in the neighborhood.
  • The University of Alberta provides accommodations at two locations: Peter Lougheed Hall (three guest rooms) and the Conference Center at Lister Center (20 guest rooms), which are suited to couples or those staying in the city for business purposes; all rooms are suitably designed with ensuite bathrooms. In addition to the university campus, you can find cultural places of interest like Timms Center for the Arts, Braithwaite Park, and North Alberta Jubilee Auditorium nearby, and Benito Sushi and Explore India are a couple of restaurants to choose from.
  • Singles seeking affordable lodgings should check out HI Edmonton on 81st Avenue in the Old Strathcona neighborhood. Dormitory rooms for four or eight each have individual lockers to guarantee security, or you can book twin rooms if you prefer a more serene sleeping area. An attractive feature of this hostel in Edmonton is its location right in the middle of numerous bars, restaurants, and clubs, including Miss Saigon, Barb & Earnie’s, Alley Cat Brewery, and Yardbird Suite Jazz Club.
  • If you’re looking for a cheap hostel in Edmonton, you should consider going during the low season. You’ll generally find lower-priced hostels in Edmonton in August and October.
  • If you want to ensure you grab a bargain, try to book more than 90 days before your stay to get the best price for a Edmonton hostel.
  • Don’t know how much time you need to see all the sights? KAYAK users usually book their hostel in Edmonton for 1 day.
