Perfect perfect perfect!!!
Went on a girls trip with my friends for my birthday and this hotel is so amazing! It’s location is perfect and the staff are so sweet, they let us check in early as our room was ready and the room was so clean and the beds were so comfortable as well! The parking was also only 10 dollars per day which was a great price considering we were in Banff. I went with two of my friends and there were only two robes in the room (standard) and we asked for another one, and the staff wasted no time to give us a third. In the time that it took us to get to the room from the lobby, someone already came to drop off the robe to our room! We also asked for a later check out time and they let us check out an hour later than we were supposed to wish was a blessing. The restaurant Brazen that was also in the hotel was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding quality and the service as well! I cannot wait to come back again!

Great location, difficult parking
Great location, friendly staff and clean rooms! Overall we enjoyed our stay. The only downfall was parking was very difficult to find each time we came back to the hotel. Had to park in public parking multiple times and move our car in the morning to avoid hourly fees. Just something to be aware of.

Great Ski Trip Stay
Stayed one night for a ski trip, great hotel. The location is phenomenal, the beds are super comfy, and the room is very nice with great views. Only downside is one of the two small hot tubs was functional.

Great historical hotel
Great central location in Banff. We like to stay at the Mount Royal whenever we come. Beds could probably stand to be replaced.

Hotel Review
The check in staff need a course in pleasantries. The room was laid out awkwardly. The TV was on the wall to the left of the bed leaving watching TV in bed impossible. It could be set up much better.
Location of the hotel however is excellent.

Overall a lovely stay
The Mount Royal is in a location with a view that can't be beat! It's right in the heart of downtown and very walkable.
Unfortunately one of the hot tubs was down for maintenance and the AC was broken in our room. They did try to fix it, and since they couldn't we were able to move rooms, so we appreciate that accommodation.
