When Ashwani and Saroj Nagpal decided to buy the Downtowner Motor Hotel, they were thinking about youngstudents from India and other countries who were going to Canada for higher education.
Located right in the heart of Winnipeg's vibrant downtown, the HI-Winnipeg Downtowner is located in the center of the country's most diverse mix of cultures.
We are a backpacker hostel located in Downtown Winnipeg. Home to the locally endorsed Waves Restaurant and Lounge BEDS/FOOD/DRINKS/MUSIC
The Nagpal's have two children that were born and brought up in Winnipeg. Upon completion of their high school's they decided to pursue graduate studies abroad in Europe and the Caribbean. The Nagpal's purchased the old HI Downtowner keeping in mind of the difficulties that students can potentially encounter in an unknown environment. Their goal is to make a comfortable home-like environment which is safe and affordable for students. A place which is like home away from home! They are very familiar with the needs and necessities that students are looking for based on their children's experiences, eg. location, safety, convenience, affordability, meal plans etc.
The Nagpal's are not limiting the facility to students and will cater to travellers and locals as well. The Nagpal's think that a niche will be filled based on the great location in the heart of downtown and the constant demand of convenient and affordable living. They are ecstatic to open their doors and welcome everyone and hope to build long lasting relationships with many.
