Top Cave and Basin District Hotel Reviews

Northwinds Hotel Canmore

8/10 Good

"Desirable location with a beautiful view and walking proximity to main street in Canmore. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable."

Chateau Canmore

8/10 Good

"I should have asked to have the room cooled. The room was really hot when we arrived. The shower needed the tile cleaned or replaced. The jets on the tub were terribly dirty, we didn't use it. The air conditioner filter was filthy! We cleaned it before we even turned it on. The front desk person was EXCELLENT!!"

Everwild Canmore Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of my favorite stays to date. We stayed here for our wedding and it was perfect. If you’re looking for a quiet oasis after spending your day in the park this is perfect. The spa is beautiful and the food is delicious. All the staff was so nice and went above and beyond to make this a special occasion."

Hidden Ridge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden Ridge is a great base camp for your Banff adventures! Our unit was clean, spacious and had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. Excellent customer service from start to finish. Hot and cool pools were clean, lots of towels, and breathtaking views of the mountains. Location is perfect (you're within walking distance of the town and the Hoodoo Trail). The only issue I can think of is, our unit (ground floor townhouse) was dated looking and very dark, but this is a minor quibble. Would stay here again!"

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for 6 ngt on Annv vacation. Stayed in king suite. Very roomy, bed comfortable, liked the balcony and fireplace. Room attendant did an amazing job every day!! Only and biggest complaint was terrible cheap coffee in the rooms with no coffee available in lobby either. Had to walk to coffee shop every morning. Thankfully I enjoyed cool air and walk, but always nice to enjoy a cup of coffee relaxing in the hotel room before starting the day!!"
