Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Rundle Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed at Rundle Chalets for our honeymoon, and we loved it! Check-in was easy and the cabin was adorable. We had a fire in the fireplace every night. It was so nice to have a kitchen and bathroom during our stay! A wonderful more affordable option for anyone visiting Canmore or Banff. Some aspects of the cabin could use some TLC, but it was clean and had a cozy vibe."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the accommodation was great, 9/10. The only thing we find that could use some improvement is the top blanket material, it was rough, but the bedding that skin touches are soft so it wasn't all bad - just wish that the entire bed is all soft and cozy. One recommendation and this could just be us, the room was very dry, we had the Jacuzzi on-suite and used that everyday, but I don't think the humidity was enough, because both of us still wake up in the morning with a dry throat. Perhaps providing a humidifier of sorts would be nice, but its a pretty odd request for hotels. The weekly buffets at Crave, the on-site restaurant is an easy choice for a solid 7/10 food experience if you really don't feel like getting out. But then again, the walking distance to everything downtown Banff is super close so I would encourage you explore. Regardless, we are definitely coming back to Banff Park Lodge."

Peaks Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Truly excellent location, really nice room, and very helpful and friendly reception staff. There’s no breakfast/restaurant area, but there is a little room at the front with tea/coffee/hot chocolate facilities and chairs. We used the laundry room which was handy having it on site. Only one washer, but didn’t have to wait for anyone else to finish. It was coins only so the staff at reception changed a note for us which was very helpful. Very quiet inside the room, felt safe and clean. Defo would recommend. Minutes from the bus stops to all the lakes, and Banff high street."
