Top Banff International Research Station Hotel Reviews

Elk + Avenue Hotel

8/10 Good

"the staff are so nice!"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great, large and comfortable, food on sight and roam bus across the street was a plus"

Banff Aspen Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We had a room close to the spa pools, steam room and sauna facilities which was great for us. The breakfast selections were great and although we didn't use it, the coffee shop had a good selection of drinks and snacks. The staff were very helpful when we wanted to book the gondola and the parking facilities were excellent. There are loads of restaurants nearby to choose from so you won't go hungry."

Royal Canadian Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Day tours can pick you up right out front, and you get a bus pass to use that gets you downtown or to the skylift for each day you stay. Didn’t eat there, but did have drinks at the bar, good to unwind with your traveler partner, but it’s small and not a “destination” bar like some downtown. Staff was great and helpful, room was really nice. I would stay there again in a heartbeat"

"Beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff, the roof hot tub, fireplace and pool were awesome! Highly recommend!"

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

8/10 Good
