"Good place to make your base for a few days..."Reviewed by Daniel W. of "Tampa, FL" on Apr 7, 2012
I only stayed here one night, but this would be a great place to bring a family, and stay for several days. The 2-bedroom condo was clean and comfortable, loved the gas fireplace, comfortable bed, and the kitchen was handy. Access to the units is a little inconvenient -- lots of steps to go up and down, especially if you're on the back side. But the location is great, just outside Banff, and just a 3 minute drive to Canmore.
"WIFI"Reviewed by John M of "St. Louis, MO" on Apr 2, 2012
I called the hotel when I made the reservation and they informed me that the previous wifi problem had been solved. When I arrived, the in room wifi could connect but was so slow that it was unusable. The manager said that the wifi had been upgraded and worked well on his phone. But, the wfi access stopped from the room and was even slow in the lobby. One day the wifi did not work anywhere but I suspect they were upgrading the system. During the last 24 hours, the wifi was OK in the lobby but still unacceptable in the room. For two days we had to go to McDonalds in Banff to access the Internet. I trade stocks and there is daily maintenance of the account if one wants to succeed. But, the staff were so nice. I could tell that they were empathetic but the solution was out of their hands. The walls are thin. The parking lot was flooded.
"Comfortable and convenient"Reviewed by Ellen K of "British Columbia" on Mar 21, 2012
The room was spacious and comfortable with a sitting space in addition to the bed. The hotel is within easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants, etc. Only complaints: 1) Early wake up call not received as requested for first morning (good thing I was up already) 2) Very noisy kids running in the hallway the first night 3) Radio came on early on second morning (I did not set it) I would stay here again.
"Red Carpet Inn, Banff"Reviewed by Gaz of "Med Hat, AB" on Mar 19, 2012
t think for the price I don't think you can beat the place. Yes its a bit dated etc and parking could be tight (especially if those people with big trucks who can't park!!). If you want a cheap hotel its for you, if not, then pay more and go elseware.

"If you need a bed and a shower, this one will do"
Don't expect much from this hotel, but if all you need is a bed and a shower (that was my case), King Edward will do. If you're looking for a romantic getaway, spend your money elsewhere. Free wireless internet was pretty fast. Free parking garage is right behind the hotel. Since the hotel sits right on the central street of Banff, you'll be able to […] crawl back to your room even if you're an Irish celebrating St. Paddy's day in this small tourist village. Read more
"Bed bugs"
Having recently stayed in this hotel, we both suffered from itching and bites from what we believe to be bed bugs.. Our bed had what looked like broken base holders, so our nights sleep was on a very unstable and slanted bed. We are very unsatisfied with this destination
"Convienient and economical"
Very cost effective and right in the middle of the village. Was there only for a night and it was quite nice!
"Good place to stay in"
This is a nice place if you are not planning to stay in the hotel for very long. It doesnt have its own parking. Although there is a free parking behind this motel. It was a bit tough for us to find this motel (maybe because it was 2.30 am and we were freezing to death). The entrance is on the intersection. If you come in after hours you might have […] to ring the owner twice or thrice before he picks up the fone and another 10-15 minutes before he arrives. Very close to the visitor center and in the heart of the small downtown of Banff. Read more
The room rate was too high . They said it was a King bed and 2 other beds. The 2 other beds were like a military bunk beds. Even the King was sunk in the middle. The room was a disappointment. Why can't this hotel spend some of the high room charges and put it back in the motel.?? Find some other place. Not worth the time or money.
Clean but the smallest hotel room that my family of four has ever been in. Two people on bed and two on sleeper sofa, left 4x4 area to stand in. Only redeeming quality, being able to walk out front door on main street.
"NoLobby"
Hotel has no loby and is out of place in the resorty-environment of Banff village. I guess you get what you pay for and I picked the place because of its relatively low cost and got relatively low features in return.
"King Edward"
Excellent location in the heart of Banff. Clean basic hotel, nothing fancy. Good value for the price.

"King Edward Hotel. Banff, AB"
Dreadful! This hotel needs new management and a complete renovation. A Motel 6 would be preferable to this hotel.
"In the heart of downtown Banff"
This hotel is located at one of the main intersections in downtown Banff. If you like to be close to all of the shopping and restaurants at a reasonable price, this is the place. There is a billiards hall located in the same building and shares a floor with the hotel. I was glad that it was closed for business during our stay. You might want to ask […] if there is any chance it will re-open. Read more
"Location, location , location"
As the title suggests it was a perfect location in the centre of town. Smooth check-in, clean no frills room but free wi-fi, TV and tea and coffee making. We were more than happy with this hotel and everthing was on the doorstep. We had a room facing the street and we had no problem with noise. Would stay here again without hesitation. Parking was free […] just down the street or secured parking was offered at a minimal charge. Read more
Good room, small but okay for a night or two if you don't plan on being in it often. Bed was old but it served its purpose. Your on a main street close to the center of town wich is great except for the street noise in the morning. For the price of it compared to others in town its great. Parking in the back in a covered parkade for free.
"Perfect location and exceeded expectations"
Loved our stay at the King Edward. Location was great and the room was clean and spacious :) check in was really easy and staff are friendly :) Would be more than happy to stay here again :)
"Budget"
If you're on a budget in banff, this is the place.
"The King Edward"
It was noisy. People down the hall were partying till 3 in the morning. But the location is excellent. For the price it is not a bad deal. Just bring some ear plugs :)
"Steer Clear"
I had to step outside and make sure the sign didn't read hoStel instead of hotel. Trust me on this one, I don't have the energy to list all the reasons. Spend about 20 bucks more and go across the street to Mount Royal Hotel.

"Right price, great location"
My girlfriend and I stayed overnight at the King Edward to see a concert in Banff and it was great. The room was cheap, clean and in the middle of the main street which was all we needed. There is free public parking behind the hotel but you have to move your car every 12 hours, alternatively the hotel itself has parking for $5 extra. Front desk was […] polite and helpful with directions and check in was quick. We didn't use the wifi so I can't comment on the quality of that. Our queen sized bed wasn't terribly comfortable but it was fine for one night. Overall it's a good place to stay if you just need a basic room. Read more
"Cheap & Basic if that's all you need great"
This hotel is very basic, if all that you are looking for is a place to sleep where the beds are clean, that's what you'll get. The location is great for a night on the town in Banff. Having stayed here a few times, it's hit and miss depending on who else is staying, but soundproofing isn't great if there's a party crowd in, and with reception closed […] at around 10pm, you do just have to put up or shut up!!

"Affordable price for a reasonable room"
Reasonably priced for being close to the free parking garage and lots of restaurants. Front desk is very friendly. But we found a piece of hair on the bed, and in-room coffee maker was very dirty. Luckily we had a mug, so we used the common microwave to heat water and made some tea. TV was kinda small, old and placed very high that my neck kinda hurt […] watching it. All in all, we were satisfied with the stay for the price we paid. Read more
"We loved it!"
We stayed here just for a night to head up to Louise the next day. It was so clean and the girl at the front desk was so great to us! She found us a fridge and brought it to our room so we could store our food for the next day, and the hotel is so convienient to run to a pub for drinks or dinner. Will recommed this for sure!

"Not too sure it was the best deal"
The hotel entrance was a little tricky to find as I arrived later in the night. The room looked fine. The bed appeared ok, but given that I have bed bug bites now.. not so sure it was as good as I thought...
"Good basic accommodation"
Not fancy, but good value
"Old but Clean"
This place is VERY dated and old. However, it is also very clean. Not the nicest, but if you're not planning on spending a lot of time in your room, the best deal. Great location. Crappy amenities. For those who are freaked out by things like this, seems like it could be haunted.
"Good location,convenient"
good location hotel, i will definitely stay again

"Comfortable hotel in center of Banff"
I was in Banff to attend a conference and stayed at this hotel because the resort hotel for the conference was full. I found this hotel very comfortable and clean. In addition, it is in front of a bus stop from where I could reach the conference venue by bus in few minutes. Overall, it was a good experience.

"Super Stay"
I was a little worried after reading some of the online reviews before my stay, but overall I was very happy with our stay. Room was clean, noise wasn't bad and the staff was friendly and helpful.
This guest did not leave a comment.
King Edward was in a very central location right in the middle of town. Secure parking close by , staff very polite. The only downside was the outside street noise.
"King Edward Hotel, Banff, Alberta"
Great location and good value. Good if what you want is a place to sleep and shower; then on to the next day. If you are driving, I highly recommend the hotel's underground parking offer (great value and convenient).

"King Edward hotel - Close to night life in Banff"
This hotel was very cheap at the time and that was why we booked it. Everything was okay until we lay in our beds. They creaked and were very old. We had a two single bed room. The beds were uncomfortable. This hotel is in a great location. It is right in downtown Banff. This was a great thing during the day but as 11 and 12 o'clock rolled around it […] was apparent that a select few people did not want to go to bed until very late. There was excessive screaming and yelling across the streets at each other. I guess these people were coming out of the nearby bars and lounges and had nothing better to do. The old windows in the hotel room did little to block the noise so I did not get a very good sleep. This of course was not the hotels problem but I should be able to make a problem like that go away with a good window. I wouldn't recommend this hotel. Read more
"King Edward Hotel - Banff"
This hotel is not fit for a king. If you are looking for a cheap place to stay, this hotel is for you. Just keep in mind that cheap hotels attract cheap patrons and you really do get what you pay for. This is the kind of hotel that you don't take pictures in because you really don't want to remember what the room looked like. Thankfully the sheets […] seemed to be of good quality and the bed was comfortable. Read more
I did like the stay, alittle upset that the Billard room was closed while I was there. The television wasn't the greatest, especially for channel options. And there should have been some recycling and garbage cans, other than the bathroom garbage can. Hope that helps you out for getting some suggestions on your improvement on staying at the King Edwards […] Hotel for your guests. Read more
"King Edward Hotel -- in downtown Banff"
As a young senior travelling alone, I was quite satisfied with my one night stay at the King Edward, chosen solely on the reviews of others. Being in the middle of downtown Banff was very convenient since I was without a car. The local bus service, ROAM, was great -- senior fare is only $1! Reception was very good and the room clean and spacious. If […] you're not looking for various amenities such as a pool, breakfast, etc.,then this hotel is good. My one complaint was the noise in the hall at 1 a.m. caused by several excited young people. Nevertheless, I would definitely stay there again. Read more
"Good value"
The location and staff friendliness were great. The room was good value for the price.

"Downtown Banff !"
If you're looking for a decent place to crash and nothing fancy (hot tubs, hotel restaurant/bar, pool, giant lobbys ) after days of Snowboarding/Skiing, this place is good and inexpensive. Lots of bars, pubs, clubs, restaurants in the area.

"Excellent Location No Fuss hotel - AWESOME!"
This hotel is nothing fancy but the rooms are clean and the bed in comfortable so I was really pleased with everything! The biggest bonus about this place is that you are RIGHT in town, there is free parking just around the corner and you can walk to restaurants and bars! This place is perfect for people who just want a cheap hotel that is clean and […] tidy! Read more

"Convenience of hotel location"
yes, location is great, but because of it parking is a challenge. Room is very small, we hardly could open a pull out sofa, not to mention to sleep on it was a real torture. Because of the beds and noise around we almost didn't get any sleep. No cups or glasses, tiny soap bar, not enougph towels.
"Great Location!!!"
Couldn't have gotten a better location! It was perfect! Staff didn't speak great English but that wasn't really a problem! Overall it was a good experience!
