Suggestions - We stayed in the "Coach House". It would be nice if there was an electric coffee and hot water maker in the rooms. Getting tea and coffee from the main building and taking it across the parking lot to your room is tough, especially in the snow and ice. - They need to put some kind of holders for soap, shampoo and conditioner in the showers. - The channel guide on the TV needs to be edited to remove the channels not available. it takes forever to go through the guide. If you want a quiet, unique experience without the hustle and bustle of a hotel, this is the place for you.

Upon arrive at the house, there is a spot to pull up at and check-in. The staff gives you a nice tour. There is a good selection of local teas, coffees, hot chocolate, utensils, etc available to you 24/7. Breakfast is served 8:00-9:30. Due to the limited hours we missed it our first day because we had to head out early to the ice field parkway. We booked the king deluxe, which was located in the carriage house. It had a beautiful extra large soaking tub, radiant heated shower floor, bar sink, mini fridge, sun window, screened patio, and faux fireplace. I had a wonderful spa like soak every evening. Perfect after a cold and rainy day exploring Banff. There are also plenty of books, games, and puzzles available in the main house.

When we spotted this online, we were a tiny bit skeptical, but what the heck, it's only 3 nights. Just 4 blocks off Banff Ave, it's a pleasant walk. Away from noise and traffic. The suite is on the main floor of a 3 story. There are 2 separate units for rent. Everything you could possibly need is provided. The shared kitchen is loaded with goodies, so you never have to worry about going hungry. Walk out the patio doors from the living room and you are relaxing with a beautiful "Mountain View". Get it? Plenty of room to park in the back drive. The landlords are great. Very friendly and accommodating. The house is so clean, you could eat from the floor. I'm a little worried about posting this because it may impede my ability to rent it in the future. All of you guys are going to want to check it out.

I've been saving the Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast for review #500…read more The B&B is named after a native plant that grows throughout the Canadian Rockies. The Buffaloberry's berries are not only favorite treats of the birds and bears, but were also used by the Plains Indians to flavor buffalo meat. A more appropriate (and cuter) name couldn't have been found for James and Theresa's property, as you will learn about their passion for wildlife, native plants, and culinary endeavors while staying with them. The personable James and Theresa are true professionals, skilled in the art of hospitality and home-building. They designed and built The Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast from the ground up to be a gorgeous home with a purpose: the purpose of treating guests to the best B&B experience ever. Four bedrooms (two on each floor) are located near the entrance of the property. The living space with comfortable couches, a fireplace, bar area and outdoor patio, is shared with everyone. The breakfast table is shared, as well, which is separated from the kitchen by a sliding door. You can just imagine what wondrous creations are being made behind that door while you sit and enjoy your coffee or tea, yogurt, fruit salad, homemade granola and muffins before the hot portion of the meal is served. Theresa's recipes are tested and experimented with several times until she feels she has everything just right. And she definitely has everything just right! From whole soft-cooked eggs in Canadian bacon pockets to souffle-like Camembert scrambled eggs with onions and chicken apple sausage to buckwheat blueberry pancakes to croissant French toast...we were in B&B heaven. We were provided with excellent suggestions for our explorations around Banff, including hikes of varying levels of difficulty and sites of historical interest. The property was perfectly located just a few blocks from the main part of town with a Safeway along the way. No review of a B&B would be complete without comments about the rooms themselves. At The Buffaloberry, every detail has been thought of and taken care of for you. Each room has a private bathroom (two have shower stalls and two have showers over tubs) with plenty of towels and travel-sized soap/shampoo. The queen-sized beds are very comfortable and covered with high quality linens and super warm yet lightweight duvets. There are small TVs over a desk, and the two rooms facing the front of the property have additional windows from which you can see some of the mountains of Banff. The entire B&B is tastefully and warmly decorated; the beautiful Canadian pine and special flooring offer a very comfortable yet elegant style that we definitely enjoyed. I highly recommend that you stay at The Buffaloberry while in Banff. You can thank me after you get back home and are missing Theresa and James and their delicious breakfasts!

Our cell service was not letting us connect to the to roaming. I could not log in to my booking.Com account. We were pretty much flying blind after hitting the US/Canada border. We tried to notify Beaujolais Boutique of our late arrival. Long story they got it and replied. We were even later than we thought. Pete met us with the hospitality beyond measure. Immediately our mood lifted. What a beautiful place. Our Room was exactly at pictured but better. The bed was a cloud and we floated off to sleep. Upon waking and going downstairs for breakfast I know I thought I was still sleeping the food that Pete bought out form the kitchen for us was fantastic. Alex the magic maker in the kitchen did not disappoint. Three courses of just right as Goldy Locks says . You just need to spend 5 minutes with Pete and Alex and the genuine welcome you feel makes you somehow light on your feet for your travels for the rest of the day. BTW a guest also staying at Beaujolais fixed our issue with our phones . Good places draw great people. The view we saw out our balcony was stunning.

The amenities and thoughtful touches throughout the B&B reflect their dedication to making every guest's stay memorable. We were thoroughly impressed and highly recommend Beaujolais Boutique B&B.

Not only was this extremely affordable the host Clara is Banff's real gem. She was the sweetest lady and just wanted to make sure that we had a good time.

She has a common area in the downstairs with couches and a pool table as well. The breakfast we had was home made pastries that were absolutely delicious. I really feel like I got my money's worth and if I were ever to come back to Banff again, I'd stay here. Give Clara a call, she'll take great care of you!

We recently stayed at the Best Western in Banff and were originally scheduled to stay from Friday…read morethrough Monday. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to cut our trip short and leave early. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We stayed in Room 311, which I would highly recommend. It features a private outdoor jacuzzi on the deck, a separate bedroom, a microwave, and a small refrigerator--perfect for a relaxing Banff getaway. One thing to note is that parking can be a bit challenging if you have a larger vehicle. Our truck exceeded the 5'9" height restriction for some parking areas, and much of the nearby street parking is reserved for permit holders. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall quality of our stay. What truly stood out was the customer service. Jay Ann, who was working at the front desk and is originally from the Philippines, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, professional, kind, and very helpful during both our stay and checkout process. Her hospitality made a great impression on us. The hotel's location is another major advantage--it's within easy walking distance of downtown Banff, restaurants, shops, and local attractions. We would gladly stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Banff. Clean rooms, excellent service, and a good location made for a memorable stay.

We did come during transition time, so there were not a lot of people to begin with. But it kept us away from the crowds. The vibe was business/family friendly. The decor and aesthetic inside/in the lobby is dark. It reminds me of those hotels in or nearby airports. The room itself is nice enough. I like the high ceilings in our room. It made it feel like we were in a cabin. Services/Staff - We had hot breakfast in their dining room and free parking. They had a fully stocked coffee/tea bar in the lobby available 24/7, which I enjoyed. I would go downstairs before bedtime almost every night to grab coffee and tea. The staff were friendly. They always greeted us whenever we saw them, answered our questions, and gave us assistance when we needed. Would I come back? Yes. I would stay here again. I would recommend it.

The room was incredibly spacious, with 2 queen beds, a large mini-fridge, microwave, flat screen TV, large closet and table with chairs. You could literally do cartwheels in the room. Although we didn't pay extra, we also ended up with a balcony overlooking the mountains. It's in a great location, and I was able to walk to shops and even Bow Falls. The room was very quiet, clean and comfortable, with every amenity I could possibly desire. It had free, fast wifi (Skype worked well). It looked very modern and even had a nice, spacious bathroom with granite countertops and a beautifully tiled shower. They provided shampoo, soap, conditioner, lotion, a hair dryer and a coffee maker with coffee. The room had a thermostat with a heater that worked well when it dropped down to -9 degrees, and also a space heater in the closet. Downstairs they provided a free hot breakfast every morning in their dining room with pretty much anything you could think of. Breakfast included bananas, apples, bacon, sausage, eggs, French toast, pancakes, pastries, muffins, yogurt, toast, cereal, milk, OJ and coffee. Staff was extremely friendly and checking in was a breeze. The only downside is that they don't really have parking (maybe 1 or 2 spaces down a long driveway in the back that's difficult to turn around in). However, we managed to find street parking right out front or close by at just about anytime of day or night during our stay.

It was my first experience staying in a hostel and it was a last-minute booking. So I didn't expect…read moremuch but luckily my staying was very pleasant and safe. It was lucky I got a loft space. The ceiling was low and hit my head sometimes but alright. I could open the window freely and enjoy the evening breeze while napping. You will get free breakfast but don't expect much. Four kinds of cereals, toast, milk, coffee and not 100% orange juice lol There is a community kitchen and you can use all tools freely. Even the fridge too. My advice: If the loft is available, ask for it. More privacy and quietness. Bring a pair flip-flops. As there is no bath mat, wearing flip-flops is better after shower. Better to have a small towel for yourself. The hostel provide you only a bath towel. There is a locker inside of your dorm. Bring a lock for that. The number of coat hungers were not enough. I saw some girls use the handrails for hanging wet clothing. There are etiquettes and manners in the hostel. Please considerate for others, especially after quiet time.
