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

Having spent five nights at the Homestead Inn for a conference I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and was most impressed by the friendly and helpful staff at reception who had excellent local knowledge. The room was spacious and very clean and the facilities were good (fridge was particularly useful), although there was only a coffee maker (no kettle) in the... More

We spent one night here and were satisfied with clean comfortable and inexpensive accommodation. Somewhat on the style of a motel (with external corridor and no lift to second floor) but larger rooms than standard and access to all facilities at Banff Park Lodge across the street, and dining in Melissas next door. Wi-fi was extra but I have no... More

Generally positive experience, put off by niggling charges for incidentals. I booked into the Homestead for a conference held at the Banff Park Lodge across the street (same ownership). Rates at $85 plus surtaxes (conference rate) were cheaper than in the main hotel. Reservation was handled quite courteously and competently. Confirmation sent by e-mail which is always nice. Front Desk... More

Peter aka front desk person was very nice and helpful and friendly. Room is large and nice. Free parking. We were most impressed with the fact that the pics on their site did not due justice to the location and the place itself. We just came in from radium hot spring. Paid 74$ there and now we are doing 125$... More

Good location in Banff, easy walk to Banff Avenue. Not a dance place & bathroom could use an upgrade but clean and quiet. Fridge & code maker in room. Pet friendly, extra nightly charge. Access to pool at sister hotel Banff Park Lodge across the street. Next to Melissa's for a great breakfast. More

I stayed here on the first night of my last hiking trip. We arrived past midnight and had to pick up the keys at their sister-hotel across the street (they told us about this when we made the reservations over the phone, so it wasn't a surprise/big deal). Since we just needed a place to crash for the night, this... More

Basic doesn't come close to describing this hotel. No A/C in the summer so windows must be left open but this make room not secure. Street level floor, one window had no screen. Noise from traffic, noise from people on the street, noise from people on the floor above. Pillows look like hadn't been changed in years. Sheet were rough... More

We stayed At the Banff Homestead Inn Aug 19-22. The manager of the hotel greeted us with a warm welcome and the smile never left her face despite how silly some of our questions might have been, this being our first time to Banff. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the location just a block from all the... More

Not a fancy hotel by any means, but I'd rather save my money for the shopping! Awesome location-right around the corner from all the shopping and restaurants. Very friendly, helpful staff and a great view of the mountains! No A/C, but it was 30 degrees Celsius during the day and our room was cool from the breeze by evening! I... More
