Raging Elk Adventure Lodging

Stopped in for a night and stayed at the Raging Elk. If you are looking for luxury - this is not your place. However, if you are looking for a cost effective stay in a nice location and don’t mind no A/C this is for you! It’s definitely an older hostel, but we didn’t mind. There was some noise from the downstairs bar, but nothing too crazy. We booked a private room and utilized the Google cast TV which we weren’t expecting, but were fine without AC and just used the fan. Bathrooms & rooms were clean, check in / out was easy and staff was nice! The bar on-site was great for a drink on the patio. If you’re rolling through fernie for the night this is your spot.

This was the first time ever staying in a hostel. It is a great place. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The rooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. They have good snack food in the Kodiak lounge. There is no restaurant there. But it is easy to find some. The Raging Elk is situated in a good spot. It has a nice outdoor sitting area. Also has a kitchen area downstairs for customers to use. The weather was ok when we were there. The price isn't bad either. So if you are looking for an inexpensive place to stay. I recommend trying this place out. |From Carl B. Vancouver, BC.

Ok, first, there are fantastic employees! Especially the gent who handles the bar! He even let us play pool free! Great dude! The Pods are a bit small for sleeping, but it works just fine. And having a shower is awesome. If I come back to Fernie, I'll be spending the nights at the Raging Elk!

Price was great, room was quiet, loved climbing the stairs to the room (wore off the food and drink consumed). Staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely want to stay again. Best walking location to the Fernie Memorial Arena to watch the Columbia Valley Rockies play the Fernie Ghostriders.

Place was clean, modern, friendly, quiet, and comfortable. As a bicycle traveler, it had everything I needed. Hostels can be noisy, but the rooms were not, people were quiet and respectful. Even the staff was mindful of getting a good nights rest and lubricating the hinges on the doors so when someone sneaks in or out, they don't wake anyone up. The only possible improvements are: 1. The gear storage room is small and when it is packed, it is terribly difficult to maneuver without touching other people's bikes or gear. Perhaps vertical storage would be more efficient. 2. I arrived a bit early, it would have been nice if I could have dropped my bike off in the storage room and or gotten a shower.

Barely ever write reviews but right now in the hotel and it is so loud. I have my music on full blast in my earbuds and the event right under my room, that NO ONE told us about is still louder. Absolutely terrible. Staff was okay though.

Stayed in late September. Great hostel in the heart of Fernie! Very large and functional communal areas, kitchen has everything you need. Will be back.

Fantastic hostel, great staff and cool bar with one of the nicest patios you can find. Located in the perfect spot with easy access to everything you could need in Fernie.
