Hotels near Ticino Swiss-Italian Restaurant in Banff

A must go hotel if you live on IG. You will take great photos anywhere in the hotel. Service is great and the ginger shower gel were so great and unique that made this place very memorable. It was a little dry in the room and the sharp edges of the furnitures might be a pain if you bumped in. Overall I had a good time here. Our Room was beautiful Furnished; the location is next to downtown. Recommend to gern Z and those Millennials without kids.

Very warm and friendly staff members upon arrival who gave us all the necessary information and directions in an efficient manner. The sauna / steam room area was unfortunately closed but due to this if you went to the Banff Upper Hot Springs and returned with your receipt then they would reimburse you (I forgot to get my receipt but it was fine as we intended to go there anyway). The room was lovely and large with a Mountain View, Nespresso machine and large TV, lots of desk space and plug sockets / USB ports which was great. The wardrobe has plenty of hangers for clothing, lots of draw space, huge bathroom with a large powerful shower and nice shower products to use. The location of the hotel is perfect and having an on-site restaurant, coffee shop and gift shop is very handy. Wherever we went within the hotel it was always warm, which was great when coming out of the snow. However, there were some issues; we weren’t sure if the blinds went down with a switch by the side, as it didn’t do anything, but rolling them down was SO noisy, there was a lot of dust and dirt behind the window facing desk, a random satsuma down the side of the cabinet with the Nespresso machine on (despite all other areas being very clean) and there was no light in the corner where the luggage stands were. We were also curious as to why the heater / air conditioner unit faces directly on to the bed, if it was on then you got so hot and dry in the night. There is big potential for this to be 4/5* with just some simple adjustments and cleaning. Although we would happily say here again.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, everything ran so smoothly and felt very well managed. I was really comfortable and the staff were happy to go the extra length to help out with that too. Kitchen system was also really great, despite business it was accommodating to everyone. Chilled atmosphere and so great for solo travelling

The environment is beautiful, leaning on the foot of the sulfur mountain, very beautiful, the hotel is a bit old but does not affect its beauty! The service is particularly good, but the parking charge is a bit unreasonable! And breakfast is not included. Breakfast in the restaurant is quite expensive. Because of the epidemic, the waiter sent the room directly to the room, which is convenient! very good!

When I arrived, I added 30 dollars and changed to a small balcony with mountain views. It feels very worth the money. The comfortable attitude is good. The hotel restaurant is also very good. The average consumption is about 30 dollars. The taste is OK, mainly because the scenery is particularly good.

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights this past month. Our check-in process was very quick and efficient. The front desk staff were very friendly. We were fortunate to have a first floor room because the elevator was out of order. Our room was a good size and clean. They have a VERY interesting pool that is built like a cave and heated by hot springs. The water is pretty warm, so you might have to get out every now & then. A great way to relax after a long day hiking. It also is open through the roof so you can see out. Because we were often out early we were only able to do the Continental breakfast 1 day. It was nothing special, but it was free. We both ordered sides of bacon as an extra charge. NOTE: The hotel DOES have bear spray for complimentary use. This is important if you're planning to go out hiking. It's probably $40-50 to buy in town. This location is also a good walking distance to the main downtown area. There's also a local bus line that runs by if you don't want to walk or have to find a parking spot. Overall.....we had a great stay, would go back and would recommend

We stayed 2 nights at Irwin's Mountain Inn in Banff in July 2022 and I would not stay there again. The parking is limited for vans/trucks and you have to race to find a spot. Our room was on the 3rd floor and it was not very clean. The mini kitchen sink was full of water spots and the coffee maker's filter holder was not not washed or cleaned (there were no coffee filters in the kitchen either so we couldn't have coffee in room). The carpet in the room was very old and made my socks dirty. The AC filter was super dusty and hasn't been cleaned in months! You can literally see a layer of 5 cm of dust on the AC filter! The hotel is located a 5-7 minute walk from downtown Banff so not recommended for those who are unable to walk a lot. There was no water cooler only an ice machine so you have to buy your own water bottles. The nice thing about this room was the bathroom amenities (shampoo/conditioner/body wash were attached to the wall so no mess and no small samples to use). However they clearly left notes in the room that if you take lotion or soap, you will be charged $20 on your credit card per item. For a $400 per night charge, I find that to be a little disappointing!

blackstone is a very comfortable hotel. It has an indoor heated swimming pool and two warm Jacuzzis perfect for winter use. I especially like to take a bath in the outdoor massage pool because the surrounding mountain scenery is very beautiful, especially when it snows outside, it is a great pleasure to watch the snow scene in the massage pool. The hotel rooms are clean and well appointed, the beds are comfortable, and the staff are friendly. If you want to have a relaxing and pleasant vacation in the cold winter, I highly recommend blackstone mountain lodge, it will give you extraordinary enjoyment. The facilities and services here are very comfortable.

We returned last week from a 6 night stay at this hotel. We requested a large room with balcony and easy access to parking, since we are in our 80s. We also requested air conditioning, which not all of their rooms have. Kudos to Lily for helping us choose the perfect room for us. Our room was modern and spatious, with a kitchenette with microwave, stovetop, coffeemaker, and refrigerator. The large bathroom had loads of counter space and an extra large stall shower. There was a small table with two chairs for enjoying breakfasts in our room. Location of the hotel was also ideal for us. We were surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery - away from the noise and traffic in the heart of the city, although only a few minutes away from the fantastic restaurants in Banff. As others have mentioned, this hotel provides bus passes for travel to the downtown area, with bus stops virtually at the hotel doorstep, which we used daily. It only took a few minutes on the bus to get into the heart of the city, which is so much easier than driving through Banff and trying to find convenient parking. Highly recommended!!

Very disappointed in these accommodations. Traveled with another couple. We each received windowless rooms(no outdoor view)with a small balcony that faced into a dated, old atrium, spotted with a few old chairs and scuffed tables. The rooms did not have air conditioning and were not very clean. We stayed 4 nights and did not receive any servicing of the room. The indoor lighting was bad and the TV was small and outdated. The bathroom and one of the beds directly faced the door into the hallway, so it was a free show to anyone walking by if the door was opened while in bed. It did include a daily breakfast Buffett which never changed, but it was good enough to start our day. I also plan to write contact the Rocky Mountaineer train company that booked these as part of our package. We had a voucher to dine in the restaurant and it was pretty good. Also location was very good. Walkable to downtown and the river. Pictures show the accumulated dust on the tv, dresser and picture frames.
