    Cedar Chalet #11
    Merrill H.

    The last time we visited this area we stayed in Banff, which made for a long drive to see all of the Icefields Parkway and Lake Louise. This time around, we wanted to stay somewhat closer to the Lake Louise area but also close to Banff. Castle Mountain Chalets has the perfect location, as it is right inbetween Banff and Lake Louise. We stayed in a Cedar chalet (#11). Very comfortable, clean, and quaint cabin. Although our cabin was closest to the store/registration cabin, we never heard any noise from cars or other cabin dwellers. The store provides a wide assortment of items-- food, alcohol, first aid items, batteries, etc. The only issue I had with Castle Mountain Chalets is it is close to the rail line so you will hear trains going by at night. I didn't mind too much, but it may be an issue for light sleepers. NOTE- be sure to check in before 9 PM. The registration cabin is not manned 24/7.

    We loved our stay here. They had a convenient store upfront. It's nested in the perfect location to get to Lake Louise and Moraine lake. It's 5 minutes from Johnston Canyon hike. The kitchen in our chalet/cabin was fully stocked for us to cook. My only complaint would be the train that you can hear running by every so often, so wear ear plugs at night if you're a light sleeper. Aside from that we enjoyed our stay!..

    this is the kitchen, complete with utensils, plates, just bring your own food w/ condiments you want with it. salt & pepper incl

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! my hubby is very particular. He was really impressed with the place. 2 nights is not enough, if you want a very relaxing time, very tranquil, quiet, homey, cozy....thats your place. the map it shows is wrong though. you have to go through banff, drive thru til bow valley parkway, pass johnston canyon,and when you see a gas pump...you are there! everyone is so friendly, yes there are some little things that need fixing, however the whole experience tramps it. we booked a 1 bedroom deluxe, we got chalet #4...close to the convenience store which is also where you check in. in the middle they got a big cabin building where all the other amenities are, like their house keeping area, computer, game area. the convenience store surprised me, they have variety of things in there. we went there for our mini-honey-moon and he is already talking about going back there for our anniversary. Dogs are allowed in the cabins, we both really appreciate them for allowing our baby in there. also, when it was check-out time, i saw them cleaning other cabins and they have all the works, they got every cleaning supply in the wheel barrow/ golf cart, which i find very professional, because you know that when the next guest's check-in will come into a very clean cabin. if there is room for improvement, maybe the shower head. Some might think the price is expensive, even when I booked it, however at the end of it all, it is worth it. for a mini-holiday, i would say its NOT bad at all $$ wise. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU WANT TO RELAX AND GET AWAY FROM THE CITY.

    The RUNDLE Bar & Lounge-…read more My client had just completed delivering a 3-day Signature Program in Calgary, and our event location manager said "let's celebrate by going somewhere really nice." So he drove us into Banff NP. We stopped at Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Vermillion Lakes, the cascade falls, and then we began driving to the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. What an absolutely beautiful hotel in one of Nature's most breathtaking masterpieces. The beautiful earth-toned cream colored hotel climbs from the lower mountain side and stands beautifully amongst the tall pines surrounding it. We made our way to the Vermillion Bar, where are post worked back in his college days, and were greeted by a super sweet server, Ayala, who lit up whenever she laughed and smiled with you. We enjoyed cocktails, beef, tartare, veggie Credit, charred, avocado, and a unique presentation of hot wings I've never had before - the actual wing that has two bones in it was pre-cut down the middle so you were served the 2 halves as their own individual wing. Great flavors and it was very unique and enjoyable. All of it was delicious and undeniably yummy, and fairly priced for such an elegant location. We were expecting a much higher price point and were delightfully surprised to see that even though it is a luxury location, it was not price gouging or ridiculously inflated that one often finds in so many other locations that are "elegant or nice". If you have the opportunity to treat yourself to a very beautiful sunset under the majestic Mount Rundle, and want to enjoy a modern setting in a historic landmark, this is absolutely a visit you must make while in Banff National Park. Thank you Ayala for treating us so well, and sharing your sweet Australian journey with us. Chris, David, Trisha, and Keith

I was on my way to the Banff Gondola when I stopped here. The hot springs are also located nearby. The original hotel opened in 1888 and has gone through several major renovations and expansions since then. Even if you are not staying here, you have to check this place out. I mostly walked around the outside of the hotel and in the main lobby. Fairmont Banff Springs has two main accommodation areas - the Gatehouse and the historic Main Building. It has a Châteauesque design to it. I love how the hotel stands out within the surrounding Valley. I could even see it from Sulphur Mountain when I rode the gondola to the top. The Banff Springs Hotel has over seven hundred guest rooms and several event spaces. This hotel is worth seeing in person for its size and stunning architecture if you are in the area.

There is a nearby bus stop too. I love all the amenities here. The hot tubs (they have two) are delightful and they also have a cold plunge pool. I did their cold plunge challenge, where they have a timer set for 3 minutes. I felt amazing afterwards! I love going back and forth between the hot tubs and cold plunge pool. They also have a sauna outside too. They offer free S'mores every day for happy hour, and supplies so you can roast your marshmallows by the fire pit outside. Lots of seating outside and I really enjoyed sitting outside and reading. They also offer board games to play and have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, so many options of where you can be. They have a full bar with a nice selection. Delicious happy hour wine deals! I love their red wines. The food is really good here too. They have a really nice breakfast buffet and it's included with your room. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, yogurt, juices, pastries, and more. The bar serves snacks and other food throughout the day and evening. I really enjoyed their charcuterie board. So fresh and delicious. Our room/suite was very spacious. Two queen beds and a living room area with a sofa and fire place. The beds were pretty comfortable but not amazing. We had a microwave and refrigerator, and I loved the espresso machine. We also had a dining table. The bathroom had lovely shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from a local company. My only suggestion is that I wish we had more storage options to unpack our clothes. There were some hangers to hang a few items and there was 1 drawer in the nightstand. I wish we had a dresser. Excellent and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. I would definitely stay here again.

You can probably ask them to bring it down for you but to save time upon check-out we brought the luggage down a flight of stairs. The room is spacious for two with the king bed. The bed, pillows, and comforter were plush. Slept easily every night. The view from the room is gorgeous especially with snow. I love how the lamps are step-on to turn on. The outlets are also easily accessible. The bathroom is a decent size. There's a clothesline in the shower you can use if needed. I like how the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap were from a 1% for the planet brand. There's a shuttle to downtown and back. Pick up and drop off is always at IGA which is easy to find. You just need to call or let the front desk know when you need the shuttle. I needed post cards to go out and was able to leave them with the front desk. If they get your outgoing mail during the week then it will go out the following week. I also borrowed a pen and a key card for when I locked myself out of my room. I highly recommend this hotel and will book again if I'm in town.

Although we didn't have an evening meal at the bistro we did have breakfast and I would suggest it was one of the best meals ever had. We did enjoy an evening beverage at the bistro each evening of our stay. Again, the view spectacular. The service, great. General pros and cons: Pros: Front desk service, great. Shuttle service to/from downtown was a life saver. Hiking and biking amenities seemed good but we did not participate. Removed from downtown which made it a bit more cozy. We really did like this aspect of the hotel . Cons: a bit dated and in need of some upgrades. Our room was small. Okay for a couple of days but would suggest a room upgrade if staying more than a couple of nights. I like hotels to have some level of market where bottled water, snacks, etc., can be purchased. Juniper did have some juice drinks and protein'ish bars available yet my personal preference is for more options. All in all, a great place to stay, with top notch views and super service. I would certainly recommend you consider Juniper for your upcoming stay.

We ate in their beautiful lounge area (some food pictures attached) for a light bite at dinner. I did get an opportunity to stop by the Farmer's Market and took adnatage of the transportation system here. The room was perfect for a two night stay and the staff here was wonderful. It goes without saying that the views out the window were like every where else, spectacular. We were very busy and therefore did not have much time to enjoy the amenities of the hotel. It really was just for sleeping and eating. Overall, they did a great job! Dinner at the lounge, and a wonderful buffet breakfast. ( A few pictures are also attached.) They really take good care of their guests. I was so surprised to read some of the lower star reviews. Are we speaking about the same hotel here? I do not trust low star reviews when the reviewer also has a low amount of published reviews. This was a fun place and overall did an excellent job with their wonderful team.

Really, really love the designs of the rooms. They blend older, "your grandma's house" kind of bases with a bright, simple style. It's got a unique look that wouldn't seem to work on paper.. but man, they got it down pat here. Rooms were super clean (which is really the main thing I worry about with travel), and RIDICULOUSLY quiet, especially for being a couple shakes away from main street. Seriously, I forgot we even had neighbours. Not a peep of noise all night (on a friday, at that!). Our only real (and small) gripe was the temperature. Despite fiddling with the room heating, it was always just a little chilly. But we had a tall roof, a big window, and perhaps not the best "fiddling" knowledge. All in all, not a big deal :) This place was cute, sweet, cozy and clean. Almost makes you feel kinda bad about wanting to stay in your room the whole day while beautiful banff is waiting outside. (lol) I never thought I'd learn to find forest-floor laminate charming. But here we are.

The staff at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us 2 tokens for welcoming drinks at the bar as well as bus passes to use while exploring the town. The lobby was so spacious, plenty of tables and couches to lounge on. We noticed that they also had bike rental and games to enjoy inside the lobby (old arcade video games and foos ball). The back patio area had a small pool and a small jacuzzi along with lounge chairs and 2 fire pits. Upon exploring, we found the coin operated guest laundry room and small fitness room in the basement area. The suite we booked was beyond cute. Felt like they brought a little of the outdoors into our stay. Only downside was that the sink was in the middle of the room but otherwise loved the design. In terms of food they have a small eating area where you can purchase frozen meals and self microwave them. They also have free coffee and tea and a water filling station. There is also a "food truck" that you can order various foods but the menu is limited. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We would definitely consider staying here again.
