The Perfect Place

Doreen and Dave Hertfordshire England
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have just returned from Canada were we spent 8 days at the apartment in Banff. It had everything we could need and more beside.
It is a very light, spacious and spotlessly clean. It is in an ideal spot 5 minutes from the shops and restaurants and the owners are very friendly and helpful people. We are hopping to go back.

Ideal Holiday Base / idéal pour départ de balades

Philippe & Michèle Versailles, France
Review Submitted: July 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
L’appartement est fantastique et calme, très bien équipé et les propriétaires sont charmants, bilingues et toujours prêts à vous conseiller dans vos choix de balades ou pour préparer votre voyage.
Pour avoir déjà passé plusieurs fois des vacances dans le parc national de Banff, je vous recommande cette adresse comme lieu de villégiature pour une semaine ou deux. Nous en conservons un excellent souvenir et y reviendrons.

This apartment is fantastic and quiet, full equipped and the owners are delightful and always ready to give you advice for your trials (or prepare your trip).
It’s not the first time that we have spent holidays in the Banff national Park, and we recommend it as a very good holiday place for one or two weeks even more if you have time. We’ll have a good memory of this place/apartment and hope we’ll come back.

A real gem

Review Submitted: April 15, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Alpine Suite is a real find and we are reluctant to sing it's praises too highly in fear of not being able to secure a booking for next year!

The accommodation is very comfortable, well furnished, spotless and spacious in a quiet location yet just a few minutes walk into the centre of Banff. The kitchen has everything you might need and great to have a washing machine and dryer. Alpine Suite immediately felt like home.

The owners were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

We would not hesitate in recommending this property.

Home Away from Home

PowderSkier Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Review Submitted: April 9, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
I've stayed at this suite a number of times. It's a very clean, comfortable place to stay. Everything in the suite is brand new & updated. It's just a short walk to the heart of Banff & all its' great amenities. The owners are super friendly & will give you all the insider information you need to get the most out of your stay in Banff. I definitely will be coming back.

Ideal Holiday Base

Glasgow Girls Lanark, Lanarkshire, UK
Review Submitted: November 14, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
I spent time searching for accommodation in the Rockies and I was delighted with my choice of the Alpine Suite as my base. The location in a quiet street gave me the peace I was looking for and yet I was within a short walk of all amenities. The apartment was spotless, well equipped and extremely comfortable. I appreciated the provision of a washing machine and tumble drier, as it allowed me to travel light. Having a telephone was an added bonus as I could keep in touch with my family. The view of the mountains from the lounge windows and the street outside was wonderful and added to the charm of this place. My hosts were welcoming, helpful but not obtrusive - What more can you ask for!

We didn't want to leave...

Kerris & Jon Southampton, England
Review Submitted: November 5, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2007
The suite is ideally located. Only a few minutes walk to the shops, cinema, restaurants and bus stops for those without a car.

We stayed for 16 weeks, and the suite really felt like a home from home. It's beautifully maintained and has everything you could possibly need for your stay... even a box of Christmas decorations!

Our hosts couldn't have done more to make us welcome. They provided valuable advice and recommendations on everything from which nights certain restaurants ran special offers to the best ski runs at each resort.

Try and book a table at the Maple Leaf during your visit and we also loved the little sushi bar with the train track (the name escapes me!) If you want to try one of the local hot springs, Radium is worth the drive.

There were tears when we left! We will visit again and may refuse to leave next time!

Stayed in the suite late July 2008. The place was absolutely wonderful. Everything was spotless and well maintained. I especially found the many park/trail maps they provided to be valuable.The suite is in a perfect location too. You can walk to hiking trails or to town for dinner. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. I enjoyed my convesations with them about the park. Great folks.Their tips were very helpful. I would recommend them highly.I hope to get back and visit myself again soon. Great place to stay in a beautiful setting. Have fun! Steve

Great place, great price, great people

Eric & Mary Cheshire UK
Review Submitted: October 22, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2007
The apartment has everything needed for any vacation, we stayed there in the winter for 2 weeks and were most comfortable. Especially useful was the comprehensive activities guide as an accident curtailed our skiing. The owners were really helpful and we have become friends since our stay. Being only 5-10 mins from downtown Banff, the apartment was nice and quiet away from the hustle and bustle.

Having the facility to self cater is an alternative to the great restaurants downtown.

All in all a super vacation apartment.

Great Vacation in Banff

Anne7777 Pleasanton, CA
Review Submitted: October 19, 2008 Date of Stay: January 2007
My husband and I spent 10 days in this great apartment. It was quiet, clean and really close to downtown. The owners provided excellent recommendations for restaurants, hiking and 'bear' sightings. We hiked everyday and it was great to come back to a cozy place to relax. Make sure you stop at the Banff Springs Hotel for a drink or high tea and enjoy the view. We had a wonderful time and would stay there again.

If you are flying into Calgary, make sure you arrange to drive during daylight hours to or from Banff. There are no lights on the highway.
