Hotel Canoe & Suites ★★★★

📍 600 Banff Ave #2000, Banff

"This hotel is located on the edge of downtown Banff, which makes it very quiet and offers great views. They have a shuttle bus service to the downtown center, but it's also a pleasant 10-minute walk. Very convenient! I definitely have to praise the restaurant on the first floor; the food was absolutely delicious."

Best Western Plus Siding 29 Lodge Hotels in Banff

Best Western Plus Siding 29 Lodge

"The location was excellent, but the facilities were old and the staff were not particularly friendly. Since the building is made of wood, when you are in the room, you can clearly hear footsteps from people passing in the hallway, the creaking of suitcases, and the creaking of wood from the floor above. Additionally, because the window faces the hallway, it was inconvenient not being able to open the curtains even during the day. On the day we checked in, the room key malfunctioned, and contacting them was cumbersome because the information desk was located far away. It is not a hotel I would want to stay at again."

Banff Ptarmigan Inn Hotels in Banff

Banff Ptarmigan Inn

"This hotel is conveniently located directly across from the Banff High School Transit Hub, which is the starting point for buses to Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, the Banff Gondola, and all the major ski resorts. Plus, it's just a short walk to Banff's main commercial area. The only downside is that the soundproofing in the rooms isn't great. However, this is a common issue with most hotels in Banff due to their wooden construction."

Buffalo Mountain Lodge Hotels in Banff

Buffalo Mountain Lodge

"Room was in excellent condition as was the bathroom.   Room was very large with a king bed, two large sitting chairs in front of a wood burning fireplace and a separate desk area.  Restaurant had interesting signs and was very good.  The Inn is a little far from Banff center to be able to walk there."

Bow View Lodge Hotels in Banff

Bow View Lodge

"I originally wanted to book a hotel in Lake Louise, about a 30-minute drive away, but I could only get two nights out of three there, so I ended up booking one night here. The location is quite convenient, just a few minutes walk from the main street, and parking is easy. However, the room facilities were really poor. The room was tiny, and the dark gray duvet made me wonder if it was clean or not. Foreigners don't use duvet covers; they just put a sheet between you and the duvet insert. I kept worrying about touching the duvet insert in my sleep. The pillows were square cushion inserts, uneven and lumpy, and I had no idea what was inside them. Sigh, and it cost over 3000! "

"5 star hotel. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Friendly service, parking is free, there is EV charging but I didn’t ask if free. The hotel heated pool & gym is open until 11:00 PM too. They give you free bus pass to get to downtown etc which is just 20 minute walk to"
