Central Banff

Located at the heart of Banff, this hotel is within walking distance to most amenities. The rooms are cozy and clean although small in size. My only complaint is parking. Although they do have some space, it's not enough to accommodate during their peak or busy season. Other parking options are quite expensive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Jessica

Disliked: Staff & service
This hotel is in a great location, but the service was sub par. Seemed as though I was bothering them by asking where to park. The showers needed a good scrub, and they don’t have full size pillows, just 4 square ones to sleep with. There was also no water in the room, and when I went down to ask for them, she told me to fill the provided glasses with tap water from the bathroom - no water bottles is odd for hotels. Also be aware that the hot tubs up top are in a very “used” condition.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
My only feedback would be to have a system so that guests don’t monopolize the hot tub. We noticed some guests were there on back-to-back nights. Also, the way to get to the hot tub isn’t the most private as you have to pass a lounge where people are socializing, which is a little strange.

Usually stay further out so this was a nice change to be right in town, walkable to everything. The hotel is a bit of maze to get to rooms and rooms are small but comfortable.
