I stayed at the hotel with a family. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were of a good quality and always kept clean by the maid. Short distance to shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again !

Stayed here during the Easter holidays for 6 nights (split 4and3). First impression was the informative receptionist, Ben, from England, great start to our stay. Every night of our stay we ate in the hotel, due to excellent service from the Australian waiters/barmen - the food was lovely! The room was an excellent size and was nice and quiet. The... More

I would never stay at the Banff International Hotel again. The only Pros I have about this place is that the staff was very friendly and the location is prime due to it being right on Banff Ave. Other than that, this place is dated, dirty and does not have good amenities which is a shock because when you enter,...

Like telling people how to get to the spa. Wireless internet was almost non existent in the rooms, only a tease really and i wasted hours trying to... More

Decent hotel, in a good location. The furniture in the room I was in was quite old, with stains on all three of the chairs in here. Carpets are looking a bit tired, showing signs of use. It's definitely time for management to upgrade the rooms. Aside from my sitting situation, everything seems clean (I'm just going to avoid looking... More

this is a great place right on the main strip in Banff, but not too close that its too noisy. It was the perfect walking distance to all the main shops. Beds were very comfortable and we had no issues at all. would definitely come back here again.
