This hotel is clean, has fridge in room, off main street so a bit quieter on weekends but is so close to all the restaurants, it's a 3 min walk away. They also agreed to match whatever price we found on the web for discounts for the hotel. Better to book online as the internet doesn't charge the negotiable local... More

Great place to stay. I've stayed there quite a few times in the last couple of years, it's mostly the same staff, so it really does feel like home. Everything was really good. Staff, location, value, quiet, and having access to the amenities across the street at the Banff Parl Lodge a bonus. Thanks, see you again.

Good value, good location, clean, friendly staff, free wi-fi....what more could you want when you are just sleeping there while you explore the mountains?! Even though we never used it you also get access to the hotel across the roads pool.

The staff was welcoming and helpful - even telling us about future events that are of interest to us. The rooms are very clean and well priced. We loved the close proximity to the main shopping street in Banff. Our children enjoyed using the pool across the street at the Banff Park Lodge. We stayed in one of the pet... More

It's a great central location, you can walk to everything in town. We were very pleased that they would accept my large dog. It's definitely on the older side, doesn't seem like they have remodelled at all, but clean which is what really matters. The desk staff if very nice and helpful. They gave us lots of great tips and... More

The location is great - within walking distance to anything important in town. We got the pass to use the pool at Banff Park Lodge and we ate breakfast at the Chinook Restaurant (got a 2 for 1 coupon). This is a great place to stay for the budget conscious. Rooms are clean and the staff are professional and helpful.... More

Was in a great location with many amenities across the street at there sister hotel. Take advantage of the 2 for 1 breakfast across the street well worth it. Comfy big bedroom, very friendly staff. Had a very enjoyable stay! Would recommend for budget travellers.

We usually look for hotels of good value which the homestead offers along with reasonably spacious rooms too which we've been extremely pleased with. Housekeeping was very friendly and accommodating however the front desk staff was not friendly or... More
