Top Banff National Park Hotel Reviews

Moose Hotel And Suites

8/10 Good

"Great room..was very clean. Front desk staff very helpful. Loved spending an hour in HOT tub every evening.Temperature was perfect. Front lobby was warm (fire place) and inviting. Several places to sit."

Mountaineer Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely area to stay in Lake Louise with food market/restaurants/gas station/shops in walking distance. It was also lovely to hear the front desk greeted us with “for the next two nights, this is your home!” upon check in. Unwinded in the hot tub on our second night, the steam room was not so great though,,, it smelled like plastic chemical can’t be good to inhale?!"

Lake Louise Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really nice day thank you. My only negative would be nothing to do in the evening as bars were shut"

Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location with remodeled interiors. The inside of the rooms is new and remodeled, the outside hopefully is next in line for an update. Restaurant was great and convenient. Could use some seating/benches outside the door (there are individual exterior entrances to each room). Was happy this was available and would stay again!"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The whole experience was just what we wanted. Clean room, great view, and super hot mineral pool/hot tub. Location was very convenient. It was quiet and a short walk to central Banff. The view from our room allowed us to see much of the valley, and it snowed last night up the mountains which was magical to see the before and after."

"My recent stay at this base camp was a truly pleasant and comfortable experience. The staff members were consistently attentive and ensured that all of my needs were met with grace."

Johnston Canyon Lodge and Bungalows

"Cute, comfortable and clean cottages, helpful staff and beautiful quiet property. The restaurant onsite is very good (be mindful of the 4-5:30pm window when their menu is very limited!). Be prepared for your food to take a long time to be ready, but we found the food to be worth the wait."

Hidden Ridge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful!!!! Loved the small kitchen, fireplace and the view. Sitting on the patio was amazing. We saw birds, small critters and a fox."

Post Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"When we arrived the front desk was so very friedly and helpful. We were so happy when the young lady informed us a shuttle was available immediatley to take us to lake Louise. The pub had excelllent wine by the glass and cocktails. The food in the resturant was amazing. The sceniary was spetacular. All the staff were very friedly and helpful. Our rooms were so comftable and tastefully decorated. We appreciated the real glassware and the compimentary delcious coffee."
