We had a great stay at the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff. The location is absolutely outstanding — truly couldn’t ask for better. It’s right in the heart of Banff and within walking distance to everything, which made exploring super easy and convenient. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and I really loved the rooftop jacuzzi. The only downside was that the upstairs area was closed for maintenance and one of the jacuzzi's was under service When you choose a hotel partly for amenities like this, it’s a bit disappointing when they’re not accessible. Overall, it’s a really nice hotel with a perfect location, and I would definitely stay here again. The closures are the only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.

It was a fantastic stay, clean room and comfortable. Only issue was one of the hot tubs was down for maintenance but the other one was working perfectly and not many people using when we were. We would definitely stay there again.

We want to recognize one of your staff. Unfortunately, we did not get she name but she was working on Saturday, Nov 22nd during our checkin around 2pm. I believe an Australian accent. She was absolutely wonderful to us, checked us in early and gave a complimentary upgrade for our wedding anniversary. She made our trip! We appreciate everything she did for us and will be coming back because of our experience with her. So kind and professional. You have an awesome employee that deserves all the recognition. We hope this finds it way back to her!

We specifically chose this hotel because it has a rooftop hot tub. (2). We were sent a message that one of them was closed. We called the hotel as well prior and were told the hot tub was working. When we arrived both are closed and our plans for relaxing did not happen. Very disappointed to take a day off for a getaway that did not go as planned. Staff were great and apologetic.

We had a nice stay , the room was very large and quiet and the linens etc were clean. The staff were courteous and friendly. The hot tub - which we really looked forward to- was not very warm and it had quite a bit of brown scum on the walls like it had not been cleaned in a while. We did mention both issues to a staff member but unfortunately did not get a chance to try the hot tub again.
