CanadaHotel was 1 block away from downtown Banff. Amazing location. Swimming pool was very clean.
CanadaThe location is very central-close to Banff Avenue and right by Bow River. The room was clean. I liked that it had a small fridge. Wi-fi was good. Free parking.
CroatiaThe location is the best in Banff. The hotel is older but you can’t beat that view.
CanadaThe property location is great. Just by the Bow River it gives you the chance to go into the main section of Banff or keep things a little quiet on the nearby trail. Also, while difficult to tell truly how clean things were during our stay at the time of the pandemic, cleaning staff seemed to be working very hard and were more or less present the entire time we were there.
CanadaLocation is perfect. A 2 min walk to bus pick up for the mountains. Main Street, shops etc just a 5 min walk.
