"We had such a wonderful stay at Aspen Banff Hotel! The room was amazing—very spacious, clean, and comfortable. We also loved the balcony, which had a beautiful view of the mountains.

Brewster Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Unique style and decor in keeping with the themes in Banff. Really nice and helpful staff. Comfy. What a beautiful town."

The Juniper Hotel

8/10 Good

"The views are great from your room, the restaurant breakfast/dinner was very good but the best part was their staff the best in Banff in my opinion, what I would recommend is not staying on the 1st floor especially across from the house keeping room as the walls & ceiling are very thin so yes I would stay there again but not in room 105 I would prefer upstairs or the far end near the hot tub, also be careful of the hot water can be scolding hot if not careful"
