Banff Boutique Inn

Recommended unreservedly. Exceedingly comfortable rooms and surroundings.  Short 10 minute walk into town. Stunning view from living room.  Huge tubs in bathroom. Very very comfortable beds and comforters. And the nicest people you’ll ever meet. 

These accommodations are in the nature of a B&B’s, but there is no cooked/served breakfast. self service cold cereal/coffee/tea is provided. There is also kitchen facilities for your use. 

Don’t stay in an impersonal hotel. STAY HERE!

We recently stayed at the Banff Boutique Inn. It was an awesome experience. First, the owners and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. While they avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning, my wife has chemical sensitivity and the staff went above and beyond to ensure she was kept safe. On a daily basis, the staff asked her if everything was okay. The common kitchen area was set up so that everything you might need to cook your own meals was readily available. The dinning / lounge area was nicely set up for eating and relaxing. We had a room with a beautiful view of the mountains. All in all, we highly recommend this Inn.

Clean, great location and affordable!  We were in Banff for a wedding and this accommodation fit the bill perfectly - we didn’t spend lots of time there, but the host was able to accommodate our request for an early check in to prepare for the event. We had a nice chat and history lesson about the house with the owner before we checked out. I would absolutely recommend this as a more affordable place to stay in Banff!

This is an absolutely fabulous little place to stay in the perfect spot in Banff. With loads of parking, its a lovely 10min walk from the town centre over the river. Room was not the biggest but really comfy. The facilities for cooking, breakfast and relaxing are what set this place apart...as well as the amazing young crew who run the place like clockwork. Cannot recommend this place enough and would love to return.

A unique experience in a lovely location with helpful staff and good facilities. The Inn is a short walk from the town centre and had free parking for guests. The rooms are very comfortable and the separate bathrooms have very good facilities. The communal areas, kitchen has coffee and tea available and storage for keeping your own food and various means of preparing your food, hobs microwaves. The staff are very helpful, they even do the washing up! and provided knowledge about the local area. There was also an adolescent Elk which sat outside the Inn on two of the days we stayed. We would certainly use the Banff boutique Inn again when we visit Banff.

We drove up from Idaho so we appreciated the free parking. I brought eggs, bacon, veggies, & used their kitchen to make a delicious omelet. They did the dishes & provided oil & salt & pepper. The fridge was available to store our supplies. They provided pour-over coffee, cream and non-dairy alternatives, along with various breads & cereals. I enjoyed the oversized bathtub while my husband used the shower. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, & sincerely wanted to make sure our stay was the best. We also enjoyed the shortcut path down to the walking bridge which led to the park where there was a Farmers' Market taking place on Wednesday afternoon. We had dinner at the Bluebird wood-fired Steakhouse which was fabulous. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were greeted by Maya at check in who was lovely, gave us all the info we needed about the Inn and a quick tour. There’s a shared kitchen to use if needed and you just leave your washing up in a bowl and they’ll sort it for you. Breakfast isn’t included but they do provide a small selection of porridge, granola etc along with tea, coffee and a few milk options to help yourself to in the mornings. It feels very homely! 

All the staff we met were super friendly but it’s also a very private stay - if they don’t see you as you leave for the morning, they’ll message checking if you need anything, towels changed etc. It feels very much like your room is your little private home for the duration of your stay.  The rooms are a good size and very clean. 

Location fantastic - very short walk into the centre of Banff (5 mins) but located down a very quiet road. Walking in the opposite direction also takes you to the Cave & Basin boardwalk which was great (and free!).  We saw an elk munching on the house next doors plants in the driveway which was a nice surprise.

Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if in Banff - super friendly, well priced (Banff is NOT cheap but this hotel is very reasonable!) and an all round wonderful stay.

I would recommend staying here if in Banff. 
The location is ideal - just a short walk from town and easy access to all the nearby trails such as Bow River and Falls trail. 
The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is coffee making facilities in the shared kitchen and a comfortable dining space to relax in. 
They even provide milk and cream and you just leave your dirty cups/plates in a bowl for them to wash up! 
Stay here if you can! Highly recommend!

Really nice and hospitable hosts, who were flexible and kind regarding, among other things,  check-in and check-out and they paid attention to how we were doing while we were there.  The facilities were also top class, so there is nothing bad to say about a Bannf boutique Inn :-)

A great location on the edge of town but within easy reach of all the amenities.
Room was spacious and spotless. Comfortable bed and good bathroom. Access to a shared kitchen was unusual for us but very useful. A small selection of breakfast items are provided but can easily bring in anything you require. Good safe parking is provided on site. 
Many thanks to Hannah for helping us with our plans. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. Would highly recommend.

POSSIBLY BEST B&(b) in Banff

A Beautiful, Cozy Place - Highly Recommend

Location & price on point

Absolutely Gem in Banff

A unique experience in a lovely location with helpful staff and good facilities.

Felt like home! Very cozy, Great tub & shower, plus a mini-fridge & free parking!

I found the room itself to be okay. I value a room as a clean place to wash up and sleep as I spend my time elsewhere. The Inn was pleasant with 3 young women acting as the hostess', room service, etc. The women were very nice and quite accommodating. The inn is set up like a B&B. It offers a self serve modest breakfast set up but the adjacent  kitchen, (with full sized refrigerators!) is open for your use 6 am till 9 pm. They had good coffee and you were welcome to make a 'pour over' anytime you wanted one. They kept the kitchen very clean and washed all the dishes for you in a commercial dishwasher. The inn also had a dinning area with several four person tables and everything you need to dine with.  The dining room had large glass windows with a lovely view. There was also a large living/sitting room. The inn's location is very good. The inn is on the rivers side of downtown Banff which is the side of Banff with a lovely pedestrian bridge, the river walk, Tunnel Mnt., many museums, The Cascade of Time gardens, the Cave and Basin National Historic Site and the walk to  Sunset Canyon; the side of Banff you will want to be on. The 'overall' here is, if you're okay with a B&B vibe, this is a pretty good choice. I would stay there again if I'm luck enough to visit Banff in the future.
My only four star rating was due to lack of disclosure of some things on their website regarding the accommodations and amenities.

This inn has an interesting setup as the main floor is a big common area containing a large seating and lounge area plus a kitchen. They even have some board games. Each room is assigned a bin in the main fridge to store your foods. They provide hot plates for cooking, and some basic breakfast items like oatmeal and fixings for that along with coffee and some nice loose-leaf teas. I would say this common area was the highlight for us as it was particularly pleasant to sit downstairs and look at the scenery, or even eat meals (we did takeout a couple of times). Despite being one of the busiest weeks of the year, there were seldom people in the main room except during breakfast.

The rooms themselves are decent, but highly inconsistent. We stayed in a queen room, the one that's shown on their website which was a good floorplan, spacious windows, and had nice views. The other couple we traveled with also stayed in a queen room for the same price but it was smaller and hotter and much less pleasant for them. When they complained, they were told they often get complains about rooms 4 and 5. The website claims all rooms have a bar fridge. That's not true. The king rooms do, not the queen rooms. Our room was a reasonable size although tight enough that you don't really want to hang out there. Our friends, well, they really didn't want to hang out in their even smaller room. With temperatures going up every year, the lack of AC made it uncomfortably hot most days until after dark (10pm or so) when finally things would cool off. Our friends' room had a southern exposure so they often kept their door open to let a breeze through.

The staff were friendly & nice. They were seasonal workers that put in long shifts, so you get to know them fairly quickly. They handle cleaning of all the dishes so you can focus on just making and using what you want which is nice in that you're not spending your vacation time cleaning up after yourself. Overall, it was good, but pricey.
