With a restaurant, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom.

Lovely suite hotel in Banff, perfect for our family ski vacation. For a small fee we were moved to a room with a great view of the mountains. Super comfy beds, no noise, friendly staff and fresh coffee tea and milk brought to our room daily. It’s a 15/20 minute walk into Banff which suited us, there’s a free shuttle if you prefer. We didn’t eat in the restaurant so can’t comment on the food. Would definitely recommend

Guestrooms are uniquely decorated and offer high ceilings and modern conveniences, including free WiFi at the Banff Boutique Inn- Pension Tannenhof.

We had an excellent room, like an attic. Very spacious. Our bathroom had a tub and a shower, very comfortable. Excellent location. The staff also removed all the snow which covered our cars overnight, which I must admit was unexpected. It can take about 30 to 40 mins to do so yourself.

This apartment is perfect for a ski trip to Banff. It is has a huge well-lit living area with a full kitchen, two large bedrooms with plenty of room and storage, and a large bathroom. Also has a full laundry available and excellent outside ski storage locker. It appears fairly new, having been built or remodeled in the last few years. It is a 10 minute walk to the ski area and local buses, and about a 1km walk to downtown. The owners, JP and Katrin were very helpful and responsive our questions about restaurants, buses, and even Canadian Health Care (long story.....). It snowed considerably during our stay and they cleared the walkways and stairs as needed, multiple times a day. We will stay here again on our next Banff trip.

    The location was ideal for accessing Banff and slightly cheaper than Banff itself. The bedroom was small but comfortable, the seating area low but comfortable, parking was easy. Being a ground floor room, overlooked by other building and trees, we needed lights on all the time. Shuttle was useful after dropping-off hire car.

    The room was comfy and even with a 6 bed dorm, dint feel cramped. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The location was brilliant! 5 mins to the main bus stop and 2 mins to a coffee shop . The bar had cheap drinks and food deals too if you wanted to stay in. I would recommend it for the location alone! met so many fun people here.

    The room, along with bed and pillows were very comfortable. Very clean rooms. My only complaint was it didn't have a microwave, but that wasn't a big deal.The location was right on Banff Ave, so super convenient. Free parking and wifi, although very small. Larger SUV's would have a difficult time parking.
