Rundle Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"Needs updates but property is great!"

Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

8/10 Good

"Great for the price on just the edge of town, with a shuttle. Could use a little tlc (just wear and tear of a slightly older facility), touching up their paint on outside etc. overall I would stay again as I think it is insane to pay $1000 or more a night for the stuff in town. They were super friendly. And it was nice having a little kitchen."

Bow View Lodge

8/10 Good

"The rooms are clean, the staff helpful and efficient. The beds were comfy and the location is great. The downside- it is a very old property, the bathtub was peeling, the flat carpet and loose wallpaper may be 20-30+ years old. The porches offer no privacy. Good place if you just need somewhere to sleep and you like the sound of the Pacific railroad trains and elk bugling (we liked this background noise)."

Basecamp Suites Banff

10/10 Excellent

"This property worked out really well for us. You couldn’t beat the location - central to shops and restaurants. There were 4 of us and everything was provided to cook our own meals if we wanted to. It was clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable and there were a few pillow options to select from. There is an elevator so you don’t need to haul your belongings up and down. If I had to call out one negative it would be the lack of dedicated parking. There were free options but you either had to walk a bit or luck out with someone leaving right when you need it. All in all I would recommend staying here."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant stay. The staff were most accommodating, the good was excellent at each restaurant. Our only complaint was the hvac unit in our room. It was extremely loud and blew like a hurricane wind in our room! We ended up shutting it off for the peace and comfort. The concierge staff were also most helpful and friendly. The hotel is very comfortable to walk around both inside and outside. The views are breathtaking ! We will cherish our memories of a very fine and perfect stay at this magnificent hotel."

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!!"
