The Sun Peaks Hostel looks like a ship turned downside up and is very flashy with its red roof. Its design is not fitting the classical alpine architecture, but it has a great atmosphere.
Location
The hostel is situated at the beginning of Sun Peaks, across from the Burfield Chair. If you have a car, the position is just fine. Without it's either a ten minute walk to the bus stop and then a 5 minute ride or a 30 min walk up the hill to the village. During the day, you can do a trip to the village by skis going up Burfield and then to the village.
Room
There are private rooms and dormitories. We had a private room on the first floor below the roof. It was small, had two beds and a cupboard. The walls are not soundproof, so you hear the snoring at the night and usually do not need a wake-up call in the morning.
On the ground floor is a big relax and dining area. A big kitchen completes the front part of this floor - in the big fridge everybody can store their food. There is enough space that two or three parties can cook and prepare food at the same time.
In the basement, there are the laundry room, five public toilets/ showers and changing & storage room for your outdoor equipment.
Breakfast
Every morning, there is a pancake mixture you can use and add water and then bake your pancakes on the griddle. Maple syrup is available but we were more in favor of apple sauce.
Other
As usual nowadays, free wifi was available. There was also a storage room for skis and snowboards in the back entrance. The staff at the hostel offers also snowmobile tours.
