I just moved to Rossland from Montreal, and couldn’t have found a better place to stay. The staff are so cool and hospitable, there’s a sweet pug who will come hang with you, and you’re likely to meet cool people to hang with in the sick pub room that was restored from a section of a former pub owned by the same family that runs the hostel! Trust me it’s a sick spot to hang. The kitchen is fully equipped and clean, good counter space and prep room. A great place to stay overall A+ -Jeff

I spent a few days at the MS hostel this Summer when I went to Rossland to do some mountain biking. I loved it! I was planning on camping but checked into the hostel because of its awesome location. I got the use of my own fridge, Clay let me store my bike inside and the towel and free wi- fi was icing on the cake. Cheaper but way better than camping. I’ll be back.

A great summer town. For a first trip to the interior of BC it was nice to stay in Rossland. The pace of this town suited me and I will have many memories of this stay and the quite mountains. It was worth the visit.

Just spent three nights at MS and what can I say, it’s my second golf trip to Rossland and staying at MS and I am already counting down the days til next year. The owner, Dutch, is one of a kind, class act and easy to be around. If you need any information about any activity, ask clay, he’s like Rossland down google. So if your planning a golf trip, ski trip, or a bike trip in Rossland, do yourself a favour and don’t pass up the Mountain Shadow Inn

My husband and I stayed at the (award winning) Mountain Shadow Hostel for a 2 day golf weekend. The hostel had everything we needed including a wonderful visit with Clay. (The manager) The hostel is located in the heart of Rossland and we were able to walk to all the fabulous restaurants the town has to offer. We have plans to go back in the fall. And my husband is returning with 20 of his friends in June 2019 for the 3 day golf package the hostel has to offer.

I selected this hostel because it is located on the main street of Rossland, easy to reach when coming into town by bus. Main entrance is a door with stairs leading up to the first floor. It is an old building, a warren of rooms. Bathroom/showers were clean. Relaxed, laid back atmosphere and friendly staff. Mostly young people staying for winter sports, a few older people. Kitchen/dining area and a couple of sitting rooms. Stayed in a co-ed 4 bedroom dorm, no lights at the beds. No locks on the doors. I would look at another place if I would return to Rossland.

Hi Paul, Thank you for taking the time to write up a review. The reason there are no locks on the doors as most are dorm style, therefore other guests may be wanting access to their room. However, something to definitely think about. Thank you for your patronage and we wish you all the best. MS Hostel

I came here with my best buddy and stayed with Clay in his beautiful hostel! This place doesn’t only have more to offer than i have ever seen in a hostel (pool, darts, 3 big TV lounges), But just is something really special! Great staff, great people and even booked out never to full or stressy. Kitchen and dining room are huge, and everything around it very well organized! We can only suggest a stay in this great place, which has more of the whole chilled rossland vibe to offer than anything else in town! Thanks for everything!!

I came to Rossland for a solo snowboard trip Jan 2019 and loved it. The hostel has everything you need including WiFi, laundry, full kitchen, and snowboard/ski maintenance area. It is located right in downtown Rossland so everything is within walking distance to everything. The price and value is certainly better than the hostel at Red. The people are great too, I made a lot of new friends. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Rossland.

Only stayed one night but it was a cosy, welcoming wee place. Owner was great and everyone else that worked there was spot on! Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and well appointed. Bang in the centre of town, although Rossland is real small so that is inevitable!

Wasn’t quite sure about staying at a hostel for our annual golf trip but there were 20 of us and it was more than awesome. Great location and great place to stay! Dart board, pool table, arcade, and lots more. I definitely recommend it for big or small golf groups or just passerthroughers. 5 star!!
