Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Banff Ptarmigan Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean and It's in a good location."

Basecamp Suites Banff

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Stay – We’ll Be Back! This was our second time staying at Basecamp Suites Banff, and once again, we had a wonderful experience! Our family loves this place. The views of the surrounding mountains are spectacular, and the hot tub is the perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The location is fantastic, with lots of great restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. We also really appreciate the thoughtful extras, like the hallway cabinet stocked with extra towels, coffee, and other essentials. It’s those little touches that make a stay even better! We love coming here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Basecamp Suites Banff to anyone visiting the area. We’ve already decided we’ll be back again! ❤️🏔️"
