I had a good stay overall. The staff were excellent and very accommodating, and the bed was comfortable. I loved the mountain view. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant but it provides a nice area to eat your own takeout. Be prepared that sleep will be interrupted occasionally by passing trains.

Convenient location, clean comfy rooms, included fridge, common areas are nice with microwave and automatic espresso machine. Great value and friendly staff. Train behind the building is loud in the morning. Basecamp provides earplugs, but they still need to invest in exterior soundproofing to minimize this major disturbance. Overall, an excellent value for low-cost accommodation outside Banff.

staff was wonderful, room was large and clean, however, the shower doesn’t rinse your hair, it interrogates your spine like it owes it money.

This location is easily accessible to the highway exit for heading to ski slopes and into the tourist destination of Banff townsite. The rooms are clean and ready for guests with mini fridge and coffee machine. Ear plugs are provided as the train track is relatively close and might pose a problem to those light sleepers. We find turning on the fan on the room air blocks out most noise. On the second floor you will find a complimentary cappuccino coffee/tea maker, microwave, and kettle. The ice machine is also located in this area. This is all outside the great room which is like a larger solarium with many chairs/ sofas to lounge and tables for gathering. It’s quite a peaceful area to be in. There are many restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops all within walking distance with pathways that link to the main town site with more shops and all around stunning scenery. The staff are very friendly and are available to serve as needed. Overall a good location for a shorter stay as I was in the main lodge

This is our third time staying here. Check-in process was ok; the worker wasn't very friendly and seemingly uninterested. Room was clean. No other complaints.
