"The hotel is located on the north side of Banff town, right along the main road (the town basically has one main north–south street), with a bus stop directly in front, which makes it very convenient.
The hotel has two small outdoor hot pools with a beautiful snowy mountain backdrop — a very nice experience. There is also the Good Folk restaurant on the ground floor; it has a great atmosphere, though a bit expensive.
At check-in, the front desk provides free transit passes (valid for 3 days; you can request another one after it expires) and complimentary coffee grounds. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are available upon request.
Our room did not have bathrobes. When we asked the front desk, we were told they were in short supply and none were available, so we had to use bath towels to go to the hot pool. There was no microwave in the room initially, although we noticed an unused microwave placed on the carpet between our room and the neighboring one. Out of curiosity, I asked the front desk, and they immediately arranged to move it into our room (it seems like it might actually be standard equipment, but you need to request it). The hotel does not provide slippers.
The room itself was decent overall. However, the heater/air conditioning unit was quite noisy. It would occasionally turn on during the night for heating, which slightly affected our sleep.
One small tip: do not leave food on the balcony — birds will take it.
Overall, we were quite satisfied with "
"The location is excellent for hiking at Johnston Canyon. There is a shortcut path leading to the trail at the back of the house. The bungalow is very well kept. Kitchen appliances are with famous brand and very clean. The two bedrooms are a bit small but cozy. The sofa-bed in the living room is a bonus to us as we’re travelling with friends and need separate beds. Very quiet environment with fresh air. Will stay again if we visit Banff next time."
"Very helpful staff and willing to provide support to visitors.
Interesting experience to live at the mountain. Nice hiking experience during summer.
Gondola ticket included in the room fee. Quite value for money if you already decide to take the gondola at sunshine village.
For visiting the hotel, people can either take the gondola and shuttle provided by the hotel. "
"The room condition in F2 is poor. There are lots of holes in the curtains of my room. The freezer door is broken. The carpet is dirty, and the wallpaper in my room and the walkway are also in terrible condition."
