Top Banff Hotel Reviews

Otter Hotel

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great little boutique hotel at the top end of Banff avenue. Parking was spacious and convenient. Room was compact but well appointed. Hot pools are great for the kids. Housekeeping was inconsistent with timing but efficient. Hotel was quiet and the AC worked. Free Roam bus tickets were a nice touch. The breakfasts at the neigh outing Canoe (same owners) are excellent. "
