Top Surprise Corner Hotel Reviews

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Otter Hotel is perfectly placed at the edge of downtown. Everything is walkable but also easily accessible by bus. The hotel makes it convenient for you and the staff are extremely helpful!"

Moose Hotel And Suites

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Moose Lodge! The location was perfect and super convenient, and having parking right on site was a huge plus. Everything was clean and well kept, and the bathrooms were especially nice. Overall, a great place to stay and we’d definitely come back!"

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."

The Fox Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel! A 10 min walk downtown so location was very convenient, they have underground parking and all staff was very friendly and nice."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good location pretty well right in the centre of Banff. Paid parking (not unusual in Canadian city locations) in an underground car park which was convenient. The Kitchenette in our room was pretty minimal but Banff is coming down with places to eat, though we do like to make our own breakfasts when travelling for a period, so that is a small negative. Our room appeared to be brand new and the bed etc was very comfortable. All in all, we’d definitely stay here again if we were staying in Banff."

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."

Banff Aspen Lodge

8/10 Good

"Lovely big clean room with really comfortable beds. Great location within Banff and easy parking. Staff were all great. Only slight complaints was the water pressure in the shower was quite poor and the buffet table in the breakfast room is very small, so was quite chaotic first thing in the morning with lots of people trying to reach over each other."

Fairmont Banff Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was exceptional! Loved our stay! We will be back…..highly recommend!! 👍👍"
