This hotel is close enough to be able to walk anyhwere in downtown Banff. The room was clean and a reasonable size with a comfortable bed. My room had a balcony facing outside (some rooms face onto interior enclosed courtyard). The hot breakfast that was included with the room was good with omlettes cooked to order. I was disappointed that... More

I visited the Banff Ptarmigan in January 2012 from Calgary and was happy with the service I received. The location of the hotel really can't be beat - we left our car in the parkade and toured around downtown without worrying about finding parking. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and the complimentary breakfast buffet was great -... More

As a visitor from the UK certain things I expect (or want) from my hotel. Unfortunately on a ski holiday in Banff I don't really expect 5* service or facilities. The Ptarmigan Inn is a straightforward economy hotel in central Banff blessed with a great central location. Even when it's -20C in early January you can walk to any of... More

I was in a family group of 6, in Banff for an 11 night stay, celebrating my wife's 50th birthday, so this was a very special holiday. On arrival at the Ptarmigan Inn we were greeted with very helpful and cheerful reception staff ( Sophie and Hugo ), which is always a good start to the holiday. We were provided... More

Very nice hotel, good air conditioning everywhere, beds were comfy and rooms clean and adequate rooms need mini fridge though. Bathroom was not big, not much area space for items, small tub, but adequate. Restaurant was good, staff were all great. Would stay again. More

I've stayed in this hotel twice and both have been great. The rooms are pretty big, the beds are comfortable and they have good bathrooms. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant in the hotel is awesome. They have great food at dinner and an amazing buffet breakfast which is so worth it. They have a chef there that... More

The hotel is ideally situated for walking into the bars and restaurants of Banff. The only problem was the hotel bar closed at 10.15. There were 14 of us - good trade you would have thought, but they would not stay open for us. Apart from that we had a good experience. The staff on reception were excellent and extremely... More
