We have stayed here before, but the complimentary breakfast was very disappointing. We have had this type of breakfast at other hotels, but the Canalta Banff was by far the worst. No fruit, powdered eggs were disgusting and oatmeal was so watery. This is not a cheap hotel and to top it off you pay for parking. They could do better.

We got a balcony room and it was a quaint little stay for 3 of us. The balcony was small but the windows that opened were a nice touch. The location is great, parking is cheap in a heated garage though it is tiny. The only thing we would recommend is an overhead light in the room as it was super hard to get ready etc without the curtains up or after sun down. Could also use a fan to circulate air as if the air or heater doesn't need to be on, the room gets stale.

Hotel was a bit dated, lighting in room was very dark. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable of area. Had to ask for room to be cleaned 2 days. Breakfast provided was convenient but same items every day. Hotel is far from Banff downtown … but public transportation very convenient and affordable. S’mores offered every afternoon!

We booked this hotel primarily because it had a gym. It's a older hotel in good location, providing free breakfast, the staff was friendly, however we found that the room and bathroom had very poor lighting which at times became very annoying. We will probably not stay at this hotel next time due to the lighting.

The stay was good, staff very courteous, however not good value for money. We paid $1800 for two adults and one teenager in one room and it was definitely not a $600 per night property. There was an issue with the cleanliness of our room at check-in but the staff resolved this ASAP and gave me a discount to compensate for the inconvenience. The last day we spent out on day trips all day, and when we returned at 5pm, our room had not been serviced. I was told that housekeeping focussed on checkouts first. Overall the property is nice and the surroundings lovely, staff very helpful and courteous, however I would not spend this much on it again.

The hotel all together was great. The bar downstairs was definitely a perk. However, only complaint is that the bathrooms in the room don’t have a fan so it got stuffy and smelled almost a little mildew-y. But it was definitely walking distance to the stores and restaurants if you’re up for a little bit of a walk. We had no problem finding free street parking during the week.

We spent 5 nights here at the start of our 10 day trip. The staff was amazing. I received a notification from Expedia mid flight saying the card of file for the hotel was declined to please call the hotel. I called as soon as we landed in a panic(we still had a 5 hour drive) and the staff member was super nice and said he would make a note but no need to worry it can be handled when we arrive. A few things to note about the property itself. Parking is not included there is a underground lot you can pay per day to use or free street parking behind the hotel. Also the balcony have very little privacy just a heads up you can see directly down the row of 3 or 4 connecting rooms when sitting out so we didn't utilize ours as much as I had hoped when booking the room. Breakfast was great everyday and included. Good variety and the area was very clean. Cleaning services everyday did a great job. The amenities are perfect especially if you are spending your days hiking. Hot tub, sauna and cold plunge! Plus fire pits and places to sit. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would recommend just be prepared to pay for Parking and have limited to no privacy on your balcony.
