Top Banff Hotel Reviews

Brewster Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice boutique hotel with everything you need and outstanding service and attention. The breakfast was just right and the facility is warm and comforting and well taken care of. The location is a very short walk to everything in the area. Easy to find the location and ample parking below. Skiing is a short drive away and very convenient. The front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely come back again. Thank you Jack and Brewster Mountian Lodge. Oh yes, the homemade treats in the lobby are a nice homey touch!"

Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"This is cozy, modest, vintage, clean, fun, etc. etc. Really I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay at in the mountains. The wood fireplace with access to wood was lovely. Of course, and most importantly, we cooked! Full kitchen = great and healthy food. I would always come back here. My son also enjoyed the water slides more than I expected. Note: I imagine if you are a 'top shelf' type of person or like the fancier things in life, this is not for you. "

Banff Ptarmigan Inn

8/10 Good

"Excellent location! Steps to downtown Banff, grocery store, shops, restaurants and ski resort bus pickup is out the front door. For an old hotel, they have done a great job updating the rooms - price is reasonable. Only thing missing is a good restaurant (current one sits below the lobby and is like a cave. "
