Great
GGuest UserOverall pretty good, underground parking was rough with little space an terrible parkers. Unfortunately there’s nothing the hotel could do about people’s driving skills. I would recommend this hotel but get back early and walk if you can if you’d like to have a spot for your vehicle.
GGuest UserOverall evaluation
This stay was great. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, the facilities were complete, and the service was very thoughtful.
Advantages
1. Environment: The room was quiet and the surrounding environment was clean and tidy.

3. Service: The front desk service attitude was good, and the check-in and check-out procedures were all
TthetruenorthreddevilThe overall feel is youthful and vibrant. The hotel's design is modern and stylish, with plenty of social space in the lobby. The rooms are thoughtfully appointed, the beds are comfortable, and the cleanliness is quite good. The location is right in Banff town, within walking distance of restaurants and shops. The breakfast was average and not very satisfying.
GGuest UserThe location is good, next to the famous Canadian steakhouse The Keg. The service is also very warm, there are hot springs in the winter to soak, you can see the snow-capped mountains. Check-in and check-out are quick. A buffet breakfast is served daily, with yoghurt and oatmeal, and the egg yolk can also meet the needs and will be recommended.
GGuest UserWe did a little staycation in Banff from Calgary and overall had a great time.
The cave pool was a big hit, but just a heads up that it’s not really a “swimming pool.” It’s more like a large cave-style hot tub. It’s shallow, and the water is fairly hot, so the kids couldn’t really swim or put their faces under the water. The cave setup is very cool though, and the adults really enjoyed it for relaxing. The dry sauna was also great.
We stayed in a suite with two double beds, plus a living area with a sofa bed, a dining area, and a kitchenette. We were happy with the layout. The suite was clean, but it is definitely dated.
One downside was the TVs. I know you don’t go to Banff to sit and watch TV, but it would be nice if they updated to smart TVs. If you’re traveling with kids, I’d suggest bringing a Fire Stick or Chromecast. Even an HDMI cable to connect a laptop would work, but make sure you download movies ahead of time because the Wi-Fi in our area was pretty spotty and the kids kept losing connection.
The front desk staff were fantastic. Friendly, helpful, and efficient. They made parking easy, provided bus passes, and explained local info without us having to ask a bunch of questions.
We’d stay here again, and next time we’ll definitely bring something for the TV so we can do an easy movie night after a busy day.
GGuest UserI visited this hostel as a solo traveller from the UK but there was definitely a mix of friends and couples staying in this hostel too. The staff are all super friendly and helpful and its location is great on the little Banff ‘Strip’. I can’t stress enough how friendly everyone in this hostel was, I had the best time!
HHeather M.G.Lovely hotel with spacious rooms. Staff were very accommodating. Love the ambiance with the log cabin features. Close to eateries. Fair work to downtown shops but problem solved they gave us a 3 day bus pass.
