Top Banff National Park Hotel Reviews

Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean, great staff. Restaurant had really good food, and open late for breakfast, and later in the evening. Closed for lunch but we were out touring. The shuttle into town is also a big plus as there isnt much free parking in Banff."

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Nice suite room with fireplace. Staff was helpful and courteous. You can skip the restaurant."

Hidden Ridge Resort

8/10 Good

"The outdoor hot tub, swim pool and sauna were pristine and exactly the way they showed. The rooms were jacked up for me for labor day long weekend….I got ripped off in that way. Cleanliness…there were some stains on the carpet and cobwebs on the lights but the beds had fresh linens and amenities clean. Beautiful view."

Paradise Lodge & Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel! It is perfectly located near Lake Louise. The rooms are extremely spacious with a full kitchen, living room, working fireplace and balcony. The property also had the most gorgeous flower landscaping!"

Post Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is excellent! From the moment you arrive the staff are amazing. Leo the driver is so knowledgeable when taking you around town. The rooms are fab, having an open fire was luxurious and a nice surprise. Loved everything about the room and food in the main restaurant"

Castle Mountain Chalets

8/10 Good

"This hotel/cabin is conveniently located just 25 minutes from both Lake Louise and downtown Banff, making it an excellent home base for exploring the area. Upon arrival, we noticed a slight odor in the cabin, which may have been due to moisture in the fabric sofa and carpet. There were also a few minor signs of wear, such as some stains in the bathroom and aging countertops. However, these were small issues and did not impact our overall stay. The cabin itself was cozy, charming, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It included all the basic kitchenware, bathroom toiletries, and a very comfortable bed that made it easy to relax after a day of sightseeing. While this isn't a luxury five-star resort, it offers great value, a welcoming atmosphere, and a comfortable place to stay in a beautiful location. There is no ice machine on the property, but ice can be purchased at the small convenience store located in the check-in area. Bear spray is also available for purchase on-site for approximately $69 CAD. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to travelers looking for a cute, comfortable, and conveniently located cabin near Banff and Lake Louise."

Lake Louise Suite | Mountain Views & Fireplace

8/10 Good

"Less than a mile walk to Lake Louise and a short ride to groceries and food. Overall great property, but could use more kitchen supplies to allow for easier cooking."

Lake Louise 2-Bedroom Suite | Deck & Views

10/10 Excellent

"Great property! Situated in a quiet area close to the Chateau, the property has great atmosphere complemented by comfortable beds, great amenities, a nice kitchen, and the very nice touch of complimentary granola bars and oatmeal for breakfast. We truly enjoyed our stay and can't wait until we return. The front desk staff and the property owners went above and beyond when one of our friends had a skiing accident during the stay. Thank you!"

Family Superior Two Bedroom Cabin

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful cabin. Clean. Plenty of beds."
