We stayed here in April 2013 while on a road trip through western Canada and the USA. I've been to Banff a few times before and always stayed at the Mount Royal across the street for double the price. The King Edward is an very good budget alternative. The location is excellent - right down town and close to everything.... More

We stayed 2 nights in the hotel and it was really good. The location was great as we were on the main street and close to everything - shopping, dining etc. We didn't have access to a car so walking was our transport. Yes there was some street noise, but it wasn't bad, and we slept well. The room was... More

My partner and i stayed at king edward while we looked for work and a room . putting the loudness of the area and late night partying aside, we began to get itchy and had 5 sleepless nights and countless itchy welts, after checking tripadvisor we knew it was bed bugs! we booked elsewhere and got right out of there!...

We were stucked in Banff on our way to Jasper due to the weather. We found a small room for $60 for 2 single beds. It would have been OK for one night other than the loud noise from other guests coming back at 3.00 am and this guy knocking at every door at 8.30 am as he couldn't remember... More

King Edward hotel - the nicest thing that I love about this hotel is that it is situated right in the heart of downtown. I love the location becuase it iss right there next to really everything..the shopping, the dining and much more. The rooms may not be as good as some of the other hotels in Banff but you... More

We stayed for three nights off season. The bed I was in was incredibly static - I had sparks coming off of me every time I moved in it (very unpleasant). The coffee cups supplied were styrofoam. Other than that, nothing really to complain about. Very good locations; however, the street outside can be very noisy, especially on a Saturday... More

We paid $70 for a small room overlooking main street. Small room but extremely comfortable. We were missing the remote for our TV and the staff went down the road to buy a new one compatible with the TV. Very helpful! We will be back!

Good thing i checked out their 2 double beds. The beds are tiny and the room is small. We went for the family room which was fair. Good location and price was ok. Beds weren't that comfy. Rooms need renos.

We booked this hotel through an online provider. The rate was low considering it was Banff. Overall the experience was ok, but the rooms were small and very simple. It was obvious that there had been very little updating done in this hotel. Reminded me more of a rooming house, except you had your own washroom. We are not ones... More
