Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The King Edward Hotel enjoys a prime location right in the heart of downtown Banff, making it incredibly convenient for accessing shops and restaurants. Guests appreciate the secured underground parking. The rooms provide what you need, and some have noticed the lack of air conditioning, which wasn't an issue for most due to the available fans. Many find the hotel to be a great value, especially considering its proximity to Banff's main attractions.
