I read some of the reviews on tripadvisor before coming to Banff and I must say I was quite scared of coming to this hotel and didn't have any high hopes, but I was so wrong!! We stayed in room 308 and had a lovely view over the mountains, no problems with the night club (we stayed from monday to... More

The location of this hotel is great - however it is a run down hotel. People need to come with an open mind about it, we were worried because of the Bed Bug reviews but the 4 of us who stayed found that we were all fine the following day. The only strange comments I must make is that in... More

Stayed in room 305. Room was small, but the location was great - right at the town center. Sheets were marginally clean, and the bathroom floor was sticky when we arrived. Facilities in the room included a TV, an alarm clock, (flickering) lamps, and coffee-maker (standard for hotels in this part of the world). No other facilities in the hotel... More

For years of coming to Banff I member thought of staying here. I'm so glad I did. It's very affordable so I can stay even longer. The rooms are small, tvs are old, and the beds aren't the most luscious but if you're like me, you're not here to stay in your room. It's a place to put your head... More

King Edward Hotel was a one-night-stop on our tour through Canada this summer. The Hotel itself is on Banff Avenue, shops and restaurants are all arround the area. Our room was small, the two beds just fit plus a small refrigerator and coffee-maker. The bathroom was clean and standard-equipped, everything you'd expect from a hotelm nothing more. If you get...

Got a great rate so I can say it was worth what I paid. If it were the high season and rack rate, I wouldn't recommend. Air-conditioning non-existent and I showed up during a record high temp for the day. Sweltering at first but it being Banff, the minute the sun went down so did the temperature. The room was... More

Plug sockets hanging out of walls, dodgy electrics blinking and a broken bed - this was worse than camping (to be fair, we LOVED camping). Some of the hostels we stayed at were better, offered more facilities and were cheaper than this place. More

The staff were friendly and the location was good. But it's an older, hole-in-the-wall, worn-out sort of place. What really moved me to write this review was that in the middle of the night I found myself itching badly. When I awoke in the morning, I had dozens of little bites from my feet to my knees, which had been... More

The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of banff avenue, few steps from shops and food courts/bars/restaurants It is also just 2 minute walking from the main free parking spt of the area. On the other side, despite a friendly welcome, the room was really small (nothing in it...) with a sense of low level of cleaning...the moquette and... More
