January 2025 - Mount Royal Hotel
The Mount Royal Hotel is in the ideal central location in Banff making everywhere accessible including Ski runs as the shuttle pick up point is the car park to the hotel to the rear of the hotel. The bus stop to the Gondola and Hot Springs is located just across the Road. The rooms were very clean and the beds really comfortable. The staff at reception were always helpful and friendly.

Rooms bit small
Room was two queen beds. Seemed small so assumed they were hotel queens. Room is small and not much room for luggage and other items.
Bathrooms have barn style doors and these are not ideal for bathrooms in my opinion.

Relaxing Stay in the heart of Banff
Relaxing stay in a very central location. Bed was very comfortable, ear plugs were appreciated, parking was ideal, the hot tub was relaxing, & the shuttle bus to Sunshine was perfect. Once you make it to the hot tub, in the hotel robe & your own shoes, walking through the lounge adds to the confusion. With the only breakfast option on site being Brazen, and the best bus to Sunshine being 8:10am, having breakfast at the ski resort was best for me.
Very enjoyable stay overall.

A really great stay in the centre of Banff. Good access to the centre, the bus to sulphur mountain and beyond- and knowledgeable staff who provided a timetable when asked for advice.
