I’m going to just come out and say it! Alina is a living doll!
She’s a young lady from Germany who stayed with us for about four months last year. Then she left for western Canada shortly before the new year and lived in Vancouver and the scenic Lake Louise for the winter.
Alina was in Canada on a working/holiday visa. Being out west working in a hotel as a housekeeper allowed her to enjoy a season on the slopes snowboarding in the majestic Canadian Rockies.
Alina has arrived back at our Toronto Hostel for her final days in Canada. Her flight back home to Germany leaves this Saturday and we will all be very sad to see her go.
But she’s going home to begin her University studies after an adventurous gap year in Canada. Now that she is back, we can see just how much she has contributed to the social fabric of our hostel.
Best of luck in your studies Alina, we hope you’ve enjoyed your stay s much as we’ve enjoyed having you.

Dear Canadiana staff (Bill, thank you for that really nice blog),
i really, really enjoyed staying at the Canadiana for my first 4 months. its an amazing hostel. i did stay in quiet a few hostels on my way to Vancouver and i can say: tha Canadiana is the best, it definitly deserves the title \”Best Hostel in North America\”.
When i came back from Banff (a few days ago)… i felt comfortable right away. its such a nice atmosphere and the staff is amazing!!!
My time in Canada was one of the best i ever had and i want to thank everyone who made it such a good time, thank you!!!
i hope a lot of people are gonna have such a great time here and the Canadiana keeps doing such a good job!
