Mount Royal Hotel

This place is phenomenal! I recently stayed at Mount Royal Hotel, and it was such a wonderful place to stay, all around!nThe rooms were cozy, and pretty aesthetically pleasing. I loved the big window as well, you could look down at the street, or up to a beautiful view of the mountains.nMy experience with the staff was great as well, they were all very kind and helpful. I love how clean everything is, and the bathrooms were gorgeous and everything was laid out efficiently.nBonus points for a comfortable bed, the mini library and 'museum' on the second floor, as well as the splendid hot tubs on the rooftop by the lounge.nThe views from the hot tubs are incredible, and it creates an especially gorgeous and captivating atmosphere if you go in the evening or at night.nAdditionally to all of this, what makes this hotel so brilliant is its convenient location, as it is located right on Main Street, downtown. This added an extra positive for us, since we spent quite a bit of our stay in Banff in the downtown or shops near our hotel, and could easily come back and drop stuff off or take a break. It's also better for the environment, as the shorter walking distance decreases the desire or need to travel by vehicle, increases people walking and decreases using cars or other vehicles running on gas, and keeps the air cleaner and helps the National Park thrive. It's also extremely difficult to find parking in Banff, so it was exceptionally beneficial to park our car in the parking lot and walk most places. There are also public transit options available in the Banff area.nAll around, this was a truly exceptional hotel! Would recommend!

Our room faced main road and didn't find road noise too bad. Nice rooftop hot tub but only allowed 4 persons at a time, it would hold more. Room comfortable but sliding door to bathroom very heavy to slide closed! Tea cups too small for a decent brew. Bathroom well equipped with good light. As regards the tv, this was the worst system I've come across, no indication of where the guide is it's Channel 16 then it scrolls round on its own! Our tour company did not pay for meals so can't comment

Lovely room, beds were extremely comfortable as were the pillows. We requested the back of hotel side as read about noise from the front. Didn’t hear a peep! Very happy

Wonderful Stay in the Heart of the CitynnWe had a fantastic experience at this modern, stylish hotel! The rooms are a great size—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The location couldn’t be better—right on Main Street and just steps away from great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.nnOne of the best features is the beautiful rooftop hot tub and lounge area, perfect for unwinding after a day out. Parking is also convenient and affordable at just $5 on-site.nnA couple of notes: The hot tub is limited to four people at a time, which helps keep the atmosphere relaxing but may mean a short wait during peak hours. Rooms facing Main Street can get a bit noisy at night due to nearby clubs, but the hotel provides a sound machine and earplugs to help with that. If availability allows, they also offer the option to choose a quieter room off the street, which is a thoughtful touch.nnAll in all, a fantastic stay with excellent amenities and service in an unbeatable location!

Booked the hotel through the BigSki3 packages. Even without the package, Mount Royal Hotel's rates have been pretty reasonable around March - April period. The hotel is centrally located and near the drop-off and pick-up points for the Banff airport transfers as well as ski resort shuttles. It is also walkable to most places around town.nnThe hotel comprises of a few blocks : which means you need to go through a couple of stairs or lifts to access some parts of the hotel. Didn't use much of the facility despite staying four nights there.nnI booked the entry level room, the heritage rooms. My room has a window that faces the back of a building and there isn't much of a view. As far as hotel rooms go, there is a kettle in the room which seemed rare over my trip around this part of Canada. There is a very small table to do some work: not the most comfortable of set-up and it is common to see some folks heading to the restaurant's mezzanine level to do work instead. The WiFi is stable here for online work.nnThere is a nice lounge area next to the jacuzzi area on the top floor which only opens around evening. On a clear day, you can get a nice view of the mountains around. The pity is that there is not much of a drinks and food menu there. There is an in-house restaurant next to the lobby which is pretty good.
