We only spent one night here which was unfortunate as I don't think I have ever slept in such a comfortable bed with such luxurious bedding. We are well travelled being all over the world I can safely say this is the best bed we have slept in. Our schedule meant we had to leave after one night to get... More

Excellent price and service for Banff. The manager upgraded our room at no extra charge from standard to superior. I suggest booking with the breakfast option at $10 more per day. Good value since the breakfast is done in the Keg restaurant on site.

We had 5 nights here in May. It was excellent value for what we paid through Canadian Affairs. Clean hotel and comfortable beds. Took us about 10 minutes to walk into town, which was fine for my husband and I as we don't mind a walk. Supermarket about 8 minutes away was handy. The spa was excellent, lovely pool, water... More

Hotel is very nice but other guests forget others are staying. During early hours loud talking and slamming of room doors seems to be the norm. Other than that this is an ok hotel, they even give you free pass for local buses.

We recently stayed here on a late ski trip. The hotel and staff were excellent. The morning breakfast was wholesome and great value - the wait staff could not have been more cheerful and attentive. The bar is a great place for a little apres ski aperitif and the lobby is inviting with the open log fire in the big... More

My husband and I made a last minute reservation for an overnight stay in early May '13 at the Banff Caribou Lodge. Check in was easy, the two young men at the front desk were very friendly and willing to answer our questions at length. The lobby was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. Parking was great in the underground parking... More

Enjoyed our weekend stay. Room was small but beds comfortable. Really liked the Rocky Mountain Soap Company lotion that was provided. It was not as close to the downtown as we had hoped but the weather was wonderful and the walk to the downtown area was great exercise. The Explore Rockies Tour Buses pick up right at their front door.... More

The fireplace in the lobby is really nice. On a cold winter's day, it provides for a pleasant ambience. On a warm summer's day, it gives you the feel that you are in the Canadian Rockies and looks the part of a cosy lodge. Front end staff at all of Banff Caribou Properties (Best of Banff) are all great. I... More

Stayed at the Caribou for a fortnights skiing. The ski bus stops outside, so saves having to walk to another hotel to get the bus. Its some way from downtown Banff, so its a bit of a walk, or you can get a bus, not from outside the hotel, but only 30 seconds from the hotel. The plus side is... More

We stayed at this hotel on the basis of the good Tripadvisor rating. I'm struggling to understand how they got that rating. Perhaps people stayed during the winter when the superb heating system makes them cozy in the small rooms. Perhaps they don't mind paying a 4-star price for 2-star accommodations. Whatever the reason, I spent a very warm, sweaty,... More
