Basecamp Suites Banff

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Walking distance to the shops if you want to do some shopping. We had a nice view of the mountain and you can see Bear st from it. We stayed in a 2 bed and 2 bath room. Very spacious and clean. There’s a stove, fridge and microwave if you want to do some cooking. The only downside is the parking. They dont have their own parking. You gotta park in the streets which you have to pay $12 canadian $$ per hour from 8am- 8pm and free from 8pm-8am or park for free by the train station from 9am-9pm but you gotta walk 9 mins from the hotel."

Banff Aspen Lodge

8/10 Good

"Nice, clean hotel. Continental breakfast was great. Food was good and service was exceptional. Room was good. A little small in the sleeping area which was by the main door. But nice and clean. Second room was large and semi separated by a small hallway/bathroom. No door unfortunately. The room was a bit cold even with the heat on lower down near my son's bed was chilly. Needed extra blankets. Hot tubs looked nice we didn't get to use unfortunately. When booking I was under the impression there was a cold pool as listed on there website but turns out it was just a cool down hot tub (not as hot as a normal hot tub) so that was a bit of a let down. Parking is very tight and busy."

Mount Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in the center of town which was great and had a perfect view of the mountains! On the day of our arrival we were told the hot tubs were down, which was disappointing. The hotel is old, but clean! The carpet in the halls had stains, but not a big deal. Our room had a loud noise, possibly coming From the pipes...and got louder as the night went on, which resulted in no sleep. I did call the front desk, however they were unable to help and did not offer another room. We had to leave by 6am to catch our flight in Calgary and there was no coffee cups in the room and no coffee available until 7am. No sleep and no coffee made a long trip back."
