Overall a lovely stay
The Mount Royal is in a location with a view that can't be beat! It's right in the heart of downtown and very walkable.
Unfortunately one of the hot tubs was down for maintenance and the AC was broken in our room. They did try to fix it, and since they couldn't we were able to move rooms, so we appreciate that accommodation.

January 2025 - Mount Royal Hotel
The Mount Royal Hotel is in the ideal central location in Banff making everywhere accessible including Ski runs as the shuttle pick up point is the car park to the hotel to the rear of the hotel. The bus stop to the Gondola and Hot Springs is located just across the Road. The rooms were very clean and the beds really comfortable. The staff at reception were always helpful and friendly.
