Top Banff National Park Hotel Reviews

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, right in the heart of the action in Banff. Position couldn’t be better. Nice pool area on the top floor for some much needed rest if you’ve been hiking or cycling etc"

Johnston Canyon Lodge and Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Johnston Canyon Lodge and Bungalows. The cottages are so clean, yet rustic. There is a wonderful quaint restaurant on site along with a gift shop. There are amazing hiking trails and beautiful sceneries. We hope to go back one day !!"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay here in September 2026! Everything about the hotel was excellent. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with beautiful mountain views. The location was fantastic — right at the end of the main street in downtown Banff, so it was quiet while still being within easy walking distance of plenty of restaurants and shops. For breakfast, we really enjoyed Sally and Great Folk. Both were excellent, but Great Folk was outstanding — one of the best breakfasts we had during our trip. There are so many great hikes nearby, which made the location even better. We also loved the hotel’s hot tubs, pools, and sauna — they were perfect after a long day of hiking. The staff were amazing, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. Parking was easy and convenient as well. Honestly, we had nothing negative to say about this hotel. Everything was excellent, from the room and location to the amenities and service. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Banff!"

Otter Hotel

8/10 Good

"Property was very nice but a little further out of the downtown than we would’ve liked"

Lake Louise Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice basic hotel. Rooms a little dated. No mini fridge or air conditioning. Had what we needed for a good nights sleep."

The Fox Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"All good. Good location."

Storm Mountain Lodge Cabins & Dining

10/10 Excellent

"Water pressure was just barely enough to come out of the shower head"

Fairmont Banff Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional! Loved our stay! We will be back…..highly recommend!! 👍👍"

Paradise Lodge & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Best location at Lake Louise! The cabin was perfectly cozy with everything we needed. Although other cabins are close, it was quiet and we rarely saw anyone. Bed and pillows slept wonderfully, fireplace stove was warming, soaking in the claw foot tub with bath salts was relaxing, and they had so many small touches that made the place welcoming. The view from the back deck was beautiful and peaceful. The staff was friendly and amazing with helpful information. They had a great tea selection and being able to borrow bear spray was such a huge help. We walked to the lake on an easy path about 1 mile. Highly recommend staying here."
