Best backpackers
Hi. I'm aiming to travel around Canada for a while next year and doing it on a budget so ill be staying in backpackers most likely. I was wondering if people could please tell me the best ones to visit anywhere in Canada. I hope to explore as much as possible. Thanks!1
Your request seems a little odd. It sounds like you want the focus of your Canada trip to be experiencing the best hostels. Surely that can't be. I would recommend getting a guide book and finding the places you want to visit. The guidebook will then tell you if there is a hostel there. Most places you will want to visit will have at least one hostel. Canada is a big country. Do you want to head east or west? What do you want to see while there, besides hostels?4
Canada is an incredibly massive country- it takes several days to drive across, and that will only show you a narrow area. My suggestion is to focus on either the east or the west coast, for the most part there's not a whole lot going on in between Alberta and Ontario.Pretty much the only 'hostel' I know is in Banff, it's called same-sun. Great for younger people, bit of a snowboard/ski/ party culture. What are your main interests??

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I'm travelling to Canada for six months and am focusing more on the east as I've been to the west before. I am interested in good cheap places to stay to enrich my holiday and to make it a little easier to plan.7
redfox1939Sedona is not even in the same country and this is not anywhere near to responding to OP's question.
Stop trying to advertise. You've been caught.

I have to second couchsurfing.com I've used it in Eastern Canada and I have friends who offer it here in Alberta. Its a great way to stay local and save some money! Especially if you're on a budget!9
Montreal: Auberge alternative du Vieux-Montréal . Auberge chez Jean is cheaper, but does not suit all tastes.Québec City: Auberge de la paix
If you are planning to explore the north shore of the Saint-Laurent river, east of Québec City:
- whales sightseeing in/around Tadoussac: Maison Majorique
- just outside of the quaint little town of Baie-St-Paul, much liked by painters for a reason, on top of a hill: Le Balcon Vert - stay either in the main building, in a cabin or camp. If you can minimally read French, click on 'Services', and read/post car-pooling enquiry under 'co-voiturage'. Opens in May.
