Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, really well managed, comfortable, stylish, friendly staff. Hot pools were fun, everything worked as it should. At the end of the town but hotel provides free bus tickets and public transport is really convenient so really no big deal. Driving and having to park downtown would have been far more hassle"

Rundle Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a lovely place to stay, the people that run the place are so friendly and extremely helpful. It’s an old yet charming cabin that has beautiful views of Mount Rundle and feels very peaceful while you’re staying. I would recommend staying here if you don’t want to stay in the modern, busy part of Banff, yet a 15 minute drive into Banff. I really enjoyed my stay and was so pleasantly surprised! I can’t express how wonderful the family is who runs the place, support these people and the hard and good work they are doing to make this a great place to vacation!"

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We booked it twice with a one day break. First time the room was clean but the second time the room was slightly dusty. View outside the rooms both times was good and facing the mountains. They provided fans which was helpful. Onsite free parking. Location is good. The staff was helpful. The reception area is very good. The onsite restaurant had good ratings but we didnt try it. Overall I like the experience."
