we were slightly dissappointed with this hotel. the location was excellent, 2 minutes walk from the main shopping area, however we felt that it was more like a hostel than a hotel. the room was very small, (booked a queen size room, or so I thought) there were no tea making facilities in the room, however guests had the use of a kitchen to make tea and we could bring food in and store it in the fridge but it appeared you had to provide your own milk for drinks. when we mentioned to the owner that there was no milk he said other guest usually leave some behind to use up. the complimentary cookies in the afternoons did'nt appear. and breakfast was very basic, cereal,bread, cakes and hard boiled eggs. For the price, I would have expected better.

Picked this place based on location and price and on the reviews. Yes, the location was good, two blocks from Banff Ave. The rooms are very dated and impossibly tiny. Not enough room for the luggage, a bed on wheels that moves if you are sitting up because there is no headboard. Plus the train whistle woke us up every night even though it wasn't close. If you are more than a little overweight you will not fit into the bathroom or shower. There were fresh croissants and hardboiled eggs for breakfast but we never saw the owner. The coffee was terrible, too weak. As for the price, it was too high for what it was.

Unfortunately, the room we stayed in was so tiny, that not even our luggage would fit. The bathroom/shower was so small that it was hard to turn around. I only know this kind of lodging from NYC! On top of this, there were drunk and rowdy kids passing by our room all night and it only was a Monday night. In addition, it felt like Canada Pacific Railway was running all its containers by our room all night. This just didn't match the $85 we paid for this experience.

We stayed here for 2 nights and found the location excellent. We could visit all the attractions in Banff etc. easily and were also close to many other places. It was only a short walk from the B & B to shops, banks, restaurants and so on. The B & B itself was rather dated and the rooms a little small (although to be fair this was stated on their website). THe owner was there and was very helpful with plenty of advice for anyone who needed it about what to do and where to go. Rather expensive for the degree of comfort provided.
