Hidden Ridge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay over all"

Rundle Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"Rundle Chalets was a great choice for our Banff trip. There were two of us staying in a one-bed cabin, and it was the perfect size—comfortable, clean, and well equipped with the basics we needed. The cabin had a mini fridge, microwave, utensils, plates, and cups, which made our stay easy and convenient. We felt safe throughout our visit, and the location was excellent. It was close to Canmore, where we found plenty to see and do, while still being conveniently located for Banff and the other areas we wanted to visit. We stayed during peak season and paid about half of what many other hotels were charging, so the value was especially impressive. For the price, we thought it was very good. They also sell firewood for the outdoor campfire area, which has chairs for sitting around and relaxing. Overall, Rundle Chalets offered a clean, safe, affordable, and convenient stay. We would definitely stay here again."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The place was as advertised. The contactless parking and check-in were easy and convenient. Location was excellent for walking access to downtown Banff, nearby trails and attractions. The staff were friendly, the rooms were recently renovated and clean. I would stay here again, my girlfriend and I had a great time and were very comfortable. My only gripe is the steep price, but it’s Banff and you have to expect to fork out the cash to stay in a convenient location."
