We got a pass to use the pool at the Banff Park Lodge across the street. The room was clean and the staff were great. You get to park at the inn and everything in town is within walking distance. More

We have stayed at the Homestead on a number of occasions but this March was the first time under the new management (Banff Park Lodge/Bow View Lodge stable). Relieved to say that the Homestead is still one of the best places to stay in Banff, no matter what season. The rooms are clean, spacious and comfortable. All staff front of... More

The front desk staff are awesome. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms are big and you get to use the Banff Park Lodge facilities which is nice. The only downside is the roof/floor/walls are very thin and sometimes you might hear some noise at night. But for the price you can't beat it. More

I would throughtly recommend them to any traveller. I stayed in one room with my husband & two children. Yes they are slightly dated but very clean indeed. We used the facilities of the sister hotel & found them to be excellent there was a warm pool & hot jacuzzi as well as free towels. Its central location was so... More

first impressions where great, I love staying in small hotels so that you get to know the staff, and have them greet you daily. the lodge manager `Dee` was especially nice when recommending places for us to check out around town. The homestead Inn is located very close to ice skating rentals, bars, museums, and a very nice coffee shop... More

Very terrible service and managment, floor tiles were falling out, the bathroom door had a hole in it, that of which the hotel attempted to patch with drywall putty... We had another room with us; they had a hole in their ceiling and tiles were also falling out. We also had apparent complaints about our rooms at times we were... More

We issued warnings to both rooms making the noise. This is the reason we asked you to leave the next morning. It is our experience that our guests appreciate... More

First impression on arrival was good all the staff we met were welcoming helpful and knowledgeable. The location was perfect for us, skiing in Lake Louise, walking distance to the Banff Avenue, the shops, restaurants etc. Although it was -29c and wind chill more so we used the car more then we would have done had it been slightly warmer....

The hotel haven't been updated for quite a while. We stayed for 9 days during Christmas in double queen room ($61/night). The room was dicently cleaned every day. It is equipped with TV, mini fridge, coffee machine, and hair dryer. The first floor is definitely a noisy place. If you can get to the 3d floor (no elevator), should definitely... More
