I've stayed at the Mount Royal multiple times.

The location is incredible. You walk out the front door of the hotel and you're in the heart of town.

The rooms are clean. The beds are incredibly comfortable. And the hotel staff is friendly. We travel with a small dog, and we've always been accommodated. Yes the back of the hotel faces a large parking lot, but really how much time do you spend in your room when you're in Banff? And when you're surrounded by mountains it's hard to complain.

If you're an early riser, go for a walk in town and you'll see Deer walking down the main road munching on the potted flowers and shrubs.

Infact, I'm headed back to Banff in October and will be staying here.

The location is perfect, right on the main street near all of the restaurants and the ski bus stopping right behind the hotel is excellent for skiers. The restaurants is brilliant and the Jacuzzi is good, a pool would be excellent, the hotel is very clean and the rooms are good just could be updated. Overall a good stay.

Perfectly located. Reasonably priced. Classy rooms with good clean compfy beds. Great view. Nice lobby area with friendly staff. Good restaurants all around including in the hotel itself. We loved it here, this is now our new Banff hotel. The only thing we missed was a mini fridge in our room but there is an ice machine so now we know this we will take a cooler with us next time.

The best part of the hotel was the central location. Also, the beds were comfortable, the wi-fi worked perfectly in our room, and there was a good selection of TV channels. On the other hand, the outdated bathroom was incredibly tiny and we experienced technical difficulties with our key cards. Also, the communal jacuzzi was in a windowless basement room with bad lighting and tiled floors (you feel like you're sitting in the middle of a McDonald's). When we arrived at the hotel, we ended up driving around the block, trying to figure out how to get into the parking lot. In the end, since there weren't any clear entrance signs, we just entered through the exit lane. Another observation: My family and I weren't package tourists, but it seemed that all the other guests were arriving on tour buses.
