Top Cave and Basin District Hotel Reviews

Everwild Canmore Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel with some oversights. The hot tub was pretty basic for a premium hotel. I suppose they are pushing for Spa use. Too close to highway. Some traffic noise until late night. There also is no outdoor space to utilize for relaxing or reading. Rooms are great, location is good (on Route 3 for shuttle to Banff)."

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

8/10 Good

"We stayed overnight at the hotel and we didn't expect that they don't have any AC inside the rooms and we're facing to the basketball court and so loud outside if we open the windows, we ask them to get us a new room on the other side but the second time it was the same are only in the 3rd floor still facing basketball court and the third one we we're able to get what we ask for..plus they forgot to give our $15 food and drink discount upon arrival. I guess our first and last stay there not happy at all."

Banff Park Lodge

8/10 Good

"We loved the central location and the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful throughout our stay. We were able to get a different room with a nicer shower after having requested an accessible one. The staff helped plan excursions and always answered questions with a smile. I was concerned about construction noise at the property but it was totally fine. Yes, the lobby was shabby but the rooms were great!"

Sunshine Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay, and this place is truly an absolute dream. Everything was incredibly convenient and thoughtfully arranged, which made the whole trip effortless and relaxing from start to finish. The views were stunning and made every morning a treat, there was beautiful hiking right on the doorstep, and access was easy and welcoming even after hours, which took all the stress out of a late arrival. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
