Top Banff Hotel Reviews

Elk + Avenue Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a great Banff Downtown location, you can literally walk all over Banff downtown from this hotel. It has attached coffee shop, restaurant and an underground parking where the elevator exit is right next to the rooms. The rooms are clean, spacious and quiet. We will consider this hotel again as we keep going to Banff."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. We were forewarned about ongoing construction updates on the property but found there is also construction happening on the street and right next to the property as well. The room does heat up too much at night and we were unable to control the temperature setting. Other than that, the hotel is located in a very convenient area. Walkable to all area restaurants and shops. The staff was very friendly. We would consider staying here again after the construction is complete."

Charltons Banff

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were welcoming and our updated Mountain View room was very clean. The property itself is dated but well kept and clean. The elevator seems to stop randomly on the 2nd floor when I only called for 3rd. This happened several times. Otherwise the elevator works perfectly fine. Parking maximum height is limited to 6’ 6” so be mindful of any rooftop boxes/carriers on your vehicle. We were able to park in the sole uncovered spot on the property. They offered us to park next door at their sister property or on the street behind the hotel. Bus stop is 2 min walk away and 12 min walk to major shopping strip. All in all a great experience. "
