My daughter and I really liked Charltons Banff. The staff were absolutely amazing! They were welcoming, kind, and helpful throughout our entire stay. The property itself is a dated on the outside. I know some of their rooms have been modernized, however, we stayed in the kitchenette, which was dated but clean. What we loved though is the fact that we had a bedroom in front, kitchen and bath in the middle and another bedroom in the back. Each bedroom had a door to the outside. I was intentional in choosing a property with a kitchen so we could make our meals when we didn’t want to go out. The property is walking distance to downtown Banff. And there’s a bus stop about two short blocks down, which takes you to all the sites in the area. Parking is available on site, but costs a small fee. There is a ceiling limit, be mindful if you are driving a raised truck or tall camping van. Note that they shared that you can park on the street behind the hotel for free, but it was always full. Overall, next time we are in Banff, we will come back to the Charltons.
