THE ORCHARD (HOSTEL WITH PRIVATE BUNKS)

A nice hostel in Radium Hot springs

It’s easy and fast to go to places we like and very affordable

Great location, walkable to town and the hot springs. Big horn sheep graze around the streets at dusk. The bunks were new and everything very clean.

The design is cute but not functional. Storage lockers on the ground floor are tall and very narrow; even my backpack wouldn't fit. On check in they explain how to unlock the front door but not how to lock it (turn the bolt inside, press and hold # outside), so the front door was often unlocked and anyone could come in off the street day or night. The upstairs is all one long room with no doors - kitchen, common area with bathrooms, bunks. Luckily there were not many people when I was there so it wasn't too noisy. The bottom bunks/cabins lock from the inside and have a light, shelf, electric outlet, and hook. The upstairs bunks have a curtain rod hanging over the bed - nothing else, and no place to store anything except on the bed. The kitchen is sparse (only 5 bowls) and the appliances will short circuit if more than 2 are used at once, so you can't cook much.
