We had a wonderful stay at **Mount Royal Hotel** in Banff.
Great hotel in a very convenient location close to the heart of the city centre.
Due to the fire in Jasper we had to relocate and chose Banff — which we had skipped in the first round.
A superb B&B, run by a lovely couple.
Breakfasts were excellent and filling.
If you want one the best then look no further.
An absolutely beautiful bed & breakfast with lovely hosts. I had the best night sleep & woke up to a delicious breakfast.
A highlight was hand feeding tiny birds on the very tranquil back patio.
Two nights here at the end of our holiday and what a fantastic place it is. You park and check-in at the bottom of the gondola.
My wife and I had the best vacation at Sunshine Village! The highlight is the location itself if you’re looking for a restful and peaceful getaway that is truly in the mountains.

We stayed here for three nights. This was my first experience staying in a hostel, and it was a good one. Having more shared bathrooms was actually a good part, as it helped avoid waiting.
