"Overall good. Staff service is OK. Breakfast doesn't have many choices. I'd like to see more variety in the menu. If you drive, there's an underground parking fee of $18 per day, and the parking lot is quite narrow. Big cars need to be careful when entering and exiting and parking."
"The exterior is as beautiful as a castle, and the beds and bedding in the guest rooms are the best. The staff is friendly, the food at the hotel restaurant is the best, and the price is reasonable. The Rocky Mountains seen from the pool are a work of art. If you stay here, you don't have to go to the hot springs separately."
"The location is good, next to the famous Canadian steakhouse The Keg. The service is also very warm, there are hot springs in the winter to soak, you can see the snow-capped mountains. Check-in and check-out are quick. A buffet breakfast is served daily, with yoghurt and oatmeal, and the egg yolk can also meet the needs and will be recommended."
"The facilities in the room are relatively ordinary and a bit old, but the scenery outside the window is very good. You can see the snowy mountains and robes will appear from time to time outside the balcony👍. The service is also very good. The guy at the front desk will help take the luggage to the room."
"Overall pretty good, underground parking was rough with little space an terrible parkers. Unfortunately there’s nothing the hotel could do about people’s driving skills. I would recommend this hotel but get back early and walk if you can if you’d like to have a spot for your vehicle. "
"Easy check in and check out. Simply download their mobile app to receive a virtual key to your room, or check in in person at the Banff Caribou Hotel and Spa. When checking out, just dial ”0” to the front desk, leave the card in the room and you're good to go :)
The room has been renovated and is clean and modern. They have microwave, mini fridge and kettle. You can also take away their mug as a souvenir for free.
In the bathroom, they offer Rocky Mountain Soap Company products that are handmade and vegan. If you like them, you can go to their stores in Canmore or Banff, or order directly online."
"The hotel is located in a lively area of Banff town. The ”Big Goose” is not far from the hotel. There is an underground parking lot. We have a lot of suitcases, which is good. But the heater is too noisy. Our room is on the first floor facing the street, which is a bit noisy. The quilt is thin. The temperature in late September is not warm indoors. Slippers, toothbrushes and other disposable items are not provided. The room is not big and the facilities are simple. The price is more than 3K, which is not cost-effective."
"This hotel is an excellent value for the location and price. Staff is friendly, the hotel is clean and comfortable, amenities are as described. You need to check in next door, but this isn’t inconvenient.
The hotel allows you to use the free underground parking until 4pm on day of checkout, which is excellent. I’ve stayed here before and will be returning."

Great
CCKWtripThe Ptarmigan Inn is located in the center of the Banff downtown. It is minutes of walk to numerous dining and shopping options. Parking can be difficult around town. The hotel offers free shuttle passes and the bus stops are just one block away. It also offers free parking and we had no problem to find a space during our stay (July 2025). Other reviewers mentioned about parking space problem but the parking space issue only applies to the skiing season when mostly people arrive with a car. Our room was in good size and came with a balcony.
The only complaint I had was that our room was right next to the elevators and the noise from elevators was quite annoying. The elevator is a bit old and makes loud noise. In addition, there are people talking loudly by the elevator in the morning.

EEmily_hyoI love, Love, love..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like neat things, so I reviewed this place before choosing one, and there were many reviews that this low-grade hotel is old and old. However, the view of the hottop was wonderful, and I was very satisfied with the hotel. They constantly provided firewood for the fireplace, and even the staff were all wonderful. I called early check-ins, but the kind staff allowed me to enjoy this hotel a lot quicker! Hotel with lots of favor! Of course, if you want a nice new hotel these days, everyone except us will feel like they are old, but we wanted this country style! The microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and fireplace were the best enough here! So I enjoyed the great service until I left the room. Ed ex
GGuest UserThe place is not stroller/wheelchair friendly.
They made me park in a different parcade that only had stairs to the main level. Alongside that forcing me to walk in the rain. I chose this place because it had parking and while there the guy is like “parking is complimentary” and I’m trying to tell him I have a baby I need closer parking or underground and he’s like “you have baby? So what?” The audacity. Then after I park in the other parkade, walk to the hotel and check in, he hands me a parking note “oh put this in the car when you get a chance” you couldn’t give it to me ahead of time??
Then at 11:00:28am banging on my door while my babies crying over his voice “ITS CHECK OUT NOW CHECK OUT”
CCharlieTravelsBest Thing about this BestWestern is their coffee machine in the lobby. I have never seen so many people enjoying the selections from a machine so much before. If you are looking for an affordable hotel with Breakfast included this place would be it. Just be careful with the screen doors as they fall off their tracks very easy and the hotel will charge you for it as damage, so if it does happen please notify the staff as soon as possible. Or you will experience like me being charged for damages.
黄黄家庭The location of the hotel is good with perfect access to the town. There is a supermarket named IGA which is about 8 mins walk. The cave pool is amazing which gives us a relaxing experience. The room is spacious with 2 levels. The upper level is bedroom while the lower level is dining room with a small kitchen. However, room service needs to be improved as there is no cleaning for one day during our stay. Facial tissue doesn't refill after using up.
GGuest UserThe hotel is carefully decorated, the service staff is friendly, and the room is very clean
There is an underground parking lot and an elevator, which is very convenient for carrying luggage.
In-room meals are provided, which are inexpensive and convenient.
RRaymondEverything is good besides the location. If you come with your car, then location isn’t a matter to you. But it still takes like 10 minutes walking to the Main Street and Hight school station. Surprisingly, the wooden floor comes with heat.
PPhoesaroundI booked a 8bed room with female only. However, it turned out was a mix gender room. I was really surprised when I saw some guys are inside the room, cuz I didn’t expect that.
The staff is nice, but the female rooms are fully occupied, that I can’t change my room. They finally got a discount for my booking.
