"The place is not really in Banff town center. Is 2 km away. Rooms are old and tacky decorated. We had a 1st floor room and we could here all the food steps from the room above us."

Fairmont Banff Springs

Fairmont Banff Springs

8/10 Good
"If I was just rating staff here, this place would be 6 stars out of 5!!! Unreal service! The only reason I’m letting it slip to a 4 star rating is mostly for the overall need for cosmetic maintenance around the buildings. Cracked sink, chipped baseboards, little things really. But for the price point, they should be looked at for sure. Amenities were 10/10, food was incredible, and the staff absolutely spoil you! Shout out to Vicente in the Rundle bar! We’ll be back for sure!!! ❤️"
