Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great experience at Banff Park Lodge . Brilliant location for shops restaurants parks and walks . Quiet lovely pool facilities cafe . Would stay again ."

Basecamp Suites Banff

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Walking distance to the shops if you want to do some shopping. We had a nice view of the mountain and you can see Bear st from it. We stayed in a 2 bed and 2 bath room. Very spacious and clean. There’s a stove, fridge and microwave if you want to do some cooking. The only downside is the parking. They dont have their own parking. You gotta park in the streets which you have to pay $12 canadian $$ per hour from 8am- 8pm and free from 8pm-8am or park for free by the train station from 9am-9pm but you gotta walk 9 mins from the hotel."

Mount Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in the center of town which was great and had a perfect view of the mountains! On the day of our arrival we were told the hot tubs were down, which was disappointing. The hotel is old, but clean! The carpet in the halls had stains, but not a big deal. Our room had a loud noise, possibly coming From the pipes...and got louder as the night went on, which resulted in no sleep. I did call the front desk, however they were unable to help and did not offer another room. We had to leave by 6am to catch our flight in Calgary and there was no coffee cups in the room and no coffee available until 7am. No sleep and no coffee made a long trip back."
