Located in beautiful British Columbia CANADA, The Dancing Bear Inn Hostel is located near restaurants, cafes, walks and a waterfall. Each room or dormitory room features a cooling system and heating systems. Bathroom facilities are shared. Select rooms come with a vanity and an ensuite sink. Guests can gather and play board games in our shared lounge. The hostel is 12.2km from Summit Chair and 12.3km from Silver King Chair. Castlegar Airport is 32km away.

The kindness of the staff, the interior design of the hostel and the cleanness. Moreover I love the fact that the staff requires the personal food to be put on a basket with an easy-to-apply label where name, room and check-out date shall be written on. The care of the little details is definitely there.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Enjoyed my last stay and prefer hostels because only care about having bed. This time, I was in basement and it has a welcoming atmosphere down there that didn't expect. Was glad event went over for was right across street. So stumbling back wasn't a worry (even though watched my drink limit). Note: picture is Obie Trice at Bloom

    Great room, great location, it was perfect for our family. Liked the space kitchen with table, and the heritage feel of the property. The tea coffee and meal is a really nice touch. Thank you. And of course that you are pet friendly :)

    This is our second stay at the adventure hotel. It's a fun bright place with good sized roms with funky fresh decor. Beds are comfy and washrooms bright and clean. It's a bit like a hybrid hostel/ hotel experience so great for families/ couples or singles travelling alone wanting to meet new friends. Great location, friendly staff, and commons room for making your meals is something we are seeing more of in new or renovated hotels like this. Think Fernie Fox, or Dorothy motel in Banff.

    The hostel is in a great location, it’s beautiful inside like a home. Everywhere is spotlessly clean. We stayed in the shared dorm, which was very clean and we loved the little seating area outside.
