This is a MUST DO if you are in the Banff or Jasper area. We chose to stay at the inn for more time without the large groups of tourists who visit there daily. We had a grand evening hike up to the foot of the glacier, and the next morning we took an earlier trip up on the glacier before all the buses arrived. We saw two GORGEOUS RAINBOWS from our hotel […] window, and while on the glacier, we experienced a full ice storm!! Staying AT THE HOTEL gives you these opportunities that you would not have if just traveling through. Our hotel room was a corner room with a glacier view - WOW! What a view!!! Read more

We were surprised with a loft of two twin beds upstairs. Kids loved it. The room is clean. However, there is no internet available in the room.

Most desirable location in Jasper NP right across from the Athabasca glacier. Clean, comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. Decent restaurant (it's pricey but to no surprise considering the remote location).

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room was adequate for comfort, but the most important thing is the location. This is the only hotel in the area.

Had a glacier view room. Got great photos from the window of the glaciers and long horn sheep!! The room was comfortable, quiet and would have been great for a family, it had a loft and queen bed upstairs too!

Genuine Expedia guest review

When we booked the room, we did not expect much from Glacier View Inn other than the location. It turned out that the room was very clean and comfy and the hotel and dining room staff were very courteous. The room was big enough to accomodate our family with three children as it has two twin bed upstairs and two full beds downstairs. The only downside […] is there is no wifi service in the hotel, but that was expected for the location. Will definitely come back and stay here again. Read more

all was well except checkin was unacceptable no reason to have to wait 20 minutes to check in when there was only one person ahead of me. there were 3 other people standing there doing nothing,

Wonderful hotel experience. Suggest bringing your own food though as the dining center is VERY expensive.....

We stayed for one night in May to visit the ice fields. Not a lot of visitors at this time of year. The room was large and very comfortable and the location was excellent. Good hiking close by and the drive to and from the hotel has exceptional views.

The Glacier View Inn is a beautiful hotel. It is right across from the Athabasca Glacier. We had a lovely stay. The view from our room was phenomenal. We visited the middle of October. It was a stopover between Banff and Jasper National Parks. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

i was expecting less for my money but got more the view was amazing the location magic this is a must stay place if you are going to see the glacier. it gets even better when the day tourist leave and you feel like you have the mountains to yourself

Genuine Expedia guest review

Rooms very large including 1 queen, 1 pull out queen sofa bed, and 2 twin beds in an upper spacious loft. All rooms are non smoking and extremely clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Daniel at the checkin desk provided excellent advice and was very knowledgeable about the area. Dining room service was great by Alam and Demis. I was suffering […] from the beginnings of a cold and the 2 waiters voluntarily brought me hot water with honey and lemon slices at every meal. This is a great location at a reasonable price when you book through organizations such as hotels.com. It is perfect for a relaxed time to view and take the excursion to the Athabaska Glacier at the Columbia Icefields. Driving to Jasper and back to here is easily done in 1 day with lots of time to take side trips to other points of interest. I would recommend a minimum of 2 nights stay to allow time to see the Glacier and drive to Jasper and back. Overall my wife and I had a great time at this hotel Read more

Great location right across the highway from Columbia icefields in Jasper National Park--that's why we chose it. There are no other hotels or services nearby. This is the only option. So you take what you get. There is no wireless or internet (so can't upload or email those beautiful pics!), the hot water and water pressure is unreliable, the faucets […] in the sink only stay on for 5 seconds, the food in both the restaurant and cafeteria is overpriced, the hallways feel more like a train or bus station than a hotel, the hotel front desk is hidden in a corner so that you think you are second rate compared to the tourists who are buying tickets to take the tractor-tread equipped buses that traverse the glacier. But if location counts, this is it! Go for it! You wake up to breakfast in the overpriced restaurant--but you can't beat the view over the icefields! Where else can you wake up to a view of a glacier! Location, location, location! Read more

Stayed here in July--had a hard time finding it, due to no signs. Love the location and hotel!! Please put more explicit instructions for its location on the website! Thanks

The hotel is on the 3rd floor of the Icefield Center. It does not have a separate building. (it took me some time to find it). My room is facing the Athabasca Icefield, which I can see every morning when I woke up! The price is very good for what I got - a deluxe room that has a loft inside the room with a total of 3 beds. The room is very clean and […] comfortable. The bathroom is one of my favorites during my trip. It's about 1 hour to either Jasper Town or Lake Louise Village. It opens only thru May to Oct, due to extreme temperature condition during winter time in the park. Read more

This is the only hotel in this area, and is well maintained, howere considering the beauty of the a rea, there was only one rather small window in the room looking out onto the beautiful landscape, there should have been a large picture window in the room, or sliding doors onto a balcony.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was very convenient to be able to stay over and then take the early tour the next morning. The woman at the desk for the hotel was unhelpful and surly. It is the only place to stay or eat so you are at their mercy. Prices for food were especially high--$10 for a single egg! Needless to say we skipped breakfast in the morning. Convenient yes but bring […] your own food. Read more

This is a great spot to layover when traveling between Jasper and Banaff. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. Staff is friendly and very helpful.

Amazing location right across from glaciers and the Columbia Icefield. We booked a package including the icefield adventure and forefield walking tour. We had the mountain view which basically means you are on the backside of the inn with no view so if you want to sit in your room and take in the views choose the glacier view. The location is remote […] so unfortunately there is no wifi available. Our room had a loft with two twin beds but we only used the downstairs area. The room was very clean and comfortable with a nice restroom. The on-site restaurant was expensive but good; the cafeteria doesn't measure up. Would have given 5 stars if the desk staff had not turned us away when we came too early to check in without offering to store our bags - we hauled them all the way back to the car (it was a long way). The icefield adventure and forefield walking tour are not to be missed - both are amazing and fun. Make sure to park near the busses - there is no signage and the walk the other direction is up a lot of stairs - we did it with our bags up and down and up again. Read more

Glacierview Inn is located in the same building as the Canadian Park Service and interpredation center as well as the glacier bus tours. All of the bus crowds are gone by 5pm and your evenings are beautiful and peaceful. The water in your room comes directly from the glacier, so fill your water bottles before you go hiking or touring. Considering the […] fact that this facility is located on top of a mountain pass and must provide for all utilities, I was very impressed. If you have the time, see the engineering behind the facility. The best hike is the Wilcox Pass Trail and it is fairly easy. You only need to hike the first third to see the spectacular views.

Right in front of Columiba Glacier,the location is great! Very resonable price, has good restraunt,awsome view,strongly recommanded!

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel is on the top floor of the Icefield Centre overlooking the Columbia Icefields. Be sure you know where you are going because there is NO signage on the highway indicating there is a hotel here. The parking lots have no lighting either. After spending 20 minutes exploring all roads in the area, we went to the Centre and figured out the hotel […] was in there. Our room was quite large with a terrific view of the Icefields. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the dining room was fine. The advantage of staying at the Glacier View Inn is that you can catch the first bus up for the Icefield Explorer Tour and beat the crowds. It is not unusual for them to have 3000-5000 people take the Icefield tour each day. When you plan your trip, realize you are an hour and a half from Banff as well as Jasper and there is nothing else close by. Read more

Convieniently located, half way from Banff to Jasper. Hotel facilities adequate, but fusion with Glacier Express services gives the feeling of staying in an skilift facility. Restaurant expensive in regards to the quality.

Great room. Room was not cleaned after our first night. Best place to get to see the glacier. Do not expect much after the crowds leave a 6:30 pm. Everything closes down except restaurant.

very good hotel

Genuine Expedia guest review

Glacier View Inn located at the toe of the Athabasca Glacier is an absolute "must" if you are in Jasper National Park. The views are fabulous and the Glacier Tour is well worth the time and money. We're going back and taking the grandkids!

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is not signposted ANYWHERE. So, know before you go, that it is 1.5 hours south of Jasper, at the Glacier viewing center. Parking is not marked. Very beautiful location, hotel, etc.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Located in the ice fields center. The room looked out directly at the Athabaska Glacier. There is no other convenient spot to stay overnight at the glacier area, and this was great.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was an awesome stay in the Glacier view Inn. We booked hotel despite overwhelming negative reviews about the hotel. We found spacious, clean room. It could spleep for six if you have a large family. The stay give us the time to expore the area more in the evening. The price is reasonable to the area. My son loved the room because he got to sleep […] in the loft bed room. The only drawback is the parking lot is very far to the hotel room. Given the hotel room is inside the visitor center, the drawback is forgiveable. Read more

We had a glacier view room. Even though the window is kind of small, the view is great. We sit on sofa and watch those snowmobiles climbing up and down the glacier like small lady bugs. If you do stay there, park at the tour bus side. Don't park at the normal car side. It takes quite a long stairs to haul those luggage up, and it is not fun at the […] end of the day when you are tired. The room has a loft and 3 queen beds. The comforters are very warm and comfortable. Very nice room. Read more

A wonderful place to stay. Rooms are more than expected. Cost is well with range. Beautiful views. It was very nice and we would stay there again.

it's a very nice hotel, it´s not luxuos but very confortable and very clean.

The hotel is well maintained and the staff is courteous. However, the amenities are expensive and there is no wifi. The location is very remote, so either you are a captured audience or willing to drive for an hour to get to food and recreational choices. I would have stayed just one night instead of 2 if I had known about these limitations. It is […] definitely worth visiting the area though. Read more

Mid way between Banff and Jasper. Great stop for the night. Sightseeing along the parkway arrived by 5 pm. caffeteria was open for snack. Hiked to toe of the glacier. Later enjoyed good dinner ($$) in the restauraunt. & drinks on the terrace. Hotel discription and map should lead one to realize there is no town or other facilities. Hotel, cafeteria, […] tourist info center, restaurant and glacier tour company all in the one location. Read more

We were very happy with this hotel for the cost and the location. Nicely decorated and in reasonablely good condition. House keeping is a bit hit or miss. One of the tiwn bed had not been changed in the loft. However for the location and the cost it was a very good stay. I would not get the Glacier view room. Windows are small and by the time you get […] to your room you have limited interest in anything but sleep. Read more

This was a beautiful hotel in an awesome location. The staff was helpful and the room cozy. The view will leave you speechless. Felt like we were in a chalet.

Very satisfied with hotel. We were fortunate to be on the side of the glacier and the view was fascinating. Couldn't take our eyes off glacier. Very nice hotel and staff very helpful.

Room is big, with coffee machine. The room I got can accommodate 4 people max. I booked mountain view, not Glacier View. The Mountain View is stupid, like a solid wall out of my window, anyway, didn't expect too much on the views, it is only a place for sleep. Dinning place is not cool, but expensive, so I had my dinner in room (self-brought foods) […] - No neighborhood at all!!!! The best thing for the hotel is that it is within the same building of the Icewalk center. I arrived after 4pm, the icewalk for the day was over. Luckily, I booked this place so i can had the icewalk the next morning. Read more

We stayed at the Glacier View Inn for 1 night in August. Chose this Inn for the convenience of being next to the Columbia Icefield area, with a great view of the glacier from the room and also as a strategic location close to great hiking trails. Th Inn occupies the third floor of the Icefield Center. The Front Desk, gift shop, Glacier Experience Terminal […] and Jasper National Park Information Desk occupy the main floor. On the lower level, the Jasper National Park operates "The Glacier Gallery", an interpretive center with information on the Columbia icefield area. Got booked a large room with a den area that includes two twin beds. TV was not operational, no remote control and the ON/OFF switch had been removed. The room was clean, decently furnished. The best was the view to the glacier and the Columbia Icefield area. The Inn offers a full dining room and a cafeteria. We dined at the restaurant,m eals were tasty and plentiful. The wait staff was friendly, cordial and offered fairly good service. We recommend this Inn for the proximity to the Columbia Icefield area, especially if you plan to take one of the morning tours to the Glacier, either the icewalk or the Snocoach Tour. It's also close to the Parker Ridge trail which is a must-do for hikers, with spectacular views of the Saskatchewan Glacier from the ridge top trail. Don't expect a 5-star hotel service, but overall it's a decent Inn in a great location and with many services for tourists visiting the Icefield Center. Read more

We booked this hotel, because it was in Jasper National Park, where we were touring. However, I was not told that it was over an hour away from the town. There were no other stores or restaurants anywhere nearby. The restaurants in the hotel were not very impressive and on the expensive side. The hotel itself was very small, but clean and lovely. The […] staff was helpful and friendly. And you wake up you're looking at the glacier. I would not have booked the hotel if I had a better idea about the location. Read more
