Located in Banff, Alberta region, Hotel Canoe and Suites is situated 3.4 km from Cave and Basin National Historic Site. With a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides room service, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests.

I recently booked a five-night stay at hotel Canoe & Suites, and it was an experience worth raving about. The hotel managed to exceed my expectations in every aspect. One of the highlights of my stay was dining at the hotel's restaurant, which offered an array of delicious food. The restaurant's ambiance, coupled with its exceptional cuisine, made it a dining experience to remember. Moreover, waking up to the breathtaking mountain view from my room each morning was nothing short of magical. The serene beauty of the landscape provided a tranquil backdrop, perfect for unwinding and reconnecting with nature. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blissful mountain retreat.

Located in Banff National Park and surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, this inn is 5 minutes' walk from Banff city centre. The inn offers rooms with en suite bathrooms.

Guestrooms are uniquely decorated and offer high ceilings and modern conveniences, including free WiFi at the Banff Boutique Inn- Pension Tannenhof.

We loved staying at Banff boutique inn! first of all the staff and Poline and Hannah especially, were so nice and helpful. Free parking, quiet but near downtown location worked perfectly for us. We brought our own groceries and cooked at the full equipped kitchen with no problems. The complimentary Tea, Coffee and hot chocolate were so good and in great quality. The common area next to the fire place and the books and board games let us feel like a home for two nights. It was amazing, romantic vacation in the snow.

It is a 10 minute walk to the ski area and local buses, and about a 1km walk to downtown. The owners, JP and Katrin were very helpful and responsive our questions about restaurants, buses, and even Canadian Health Care (long story.....). It snowed considerably during our stay and they cleared the walkways and stairs as needed, multiple times a day. We will stay here again on our next Banff trip.

    The location was ideal for accessing Banff and slightly cheaper than Banff itself. The bedroom was small but comfortable, the seating area low but comfortable, parking was easy. Being a ground floor room, overlooked by other building and trees, we needed lights on all the time. Shuttle was useful after dropping-off hire car.

    The room was comfy and even with a 6 bed dorm, dint feel cramped. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The location was brilliant! 5 mins to the main bus stop and 2 mins to a coffee shop . The bar had cheap drinks and food deals too if you wanted to stay in. I would recommend it for the location alone! met so many fun people here.

    The room, along with bed and pillows were very comfortable. Very clean rooms. My only complaint was it didn't have a microwave, but that wasn't a big deal.The location was right on Banff Ave, so super convenient. Free parking and wifi, although very small. Larger SUV's would have a difficult time parking.
