BANFF GATEWAY VILLA | HOT TUB | PARKING

Stayed here with family for few days in late August this year. Accommodation was comfortable and well-equipped, including a large fridge-freezer, two bathrooms and AC, and with reserved parking for one car; only negative was that the apartment's central heating/cooling system was a little difficult to work out and maintain with its min and max temperature settings (instead of the usual one such setting), and its air-flow was a little noisy but not to a disturbing level. Location was very good with it being in a quiet hamlet just outside Canmore where there is a good selection of shops, eateries, and fuel stations, and an easy 20-min car ride from the famous town of Banff itself and its gateway to some spectacular parts of Alberta Canada, and around an hours drive from Calgary International Airport. Overall, very good accommodation in an excellent location; would definitely recommend!

Excellent location for access to BANFF national park and plenty of dining / drinking options in Canmore or Banff. Very clean property with nice mountain views.

Clean and organized. Difficult to navigate in bedrooms due to small size.

Pros:location is great, between Canmore and Banff with easy access to the main road. The unit is very clean, decorated nicely & fully equipped. I really appreciated that the available equipment is not cheap & old like you find in many places like this. It was good quality nice items & includes an air fryer, ninja blender, kettle & milk frother. We made most meals so good kitchen was nice. There are some games which we enjoyed. The hot tub is in a separate section at the front of the building. It has a good view of the mountains. Washer & drier were efficient We contacted the management company as no batteries in the tv remote. They responded quickly. Excellent communication. Cons (some is personal preference))No views- one side we looked at a concrete wall, the other side we looked into other units. No outdoor area to sit. We were going to bring our own chairs and just make a space to sit and enjoy the view in the evening but there is nowhere to do this. Unit says it sleeps 6 we were 5 and one of us had to stand to eat as the breakfast bar has 4 seats. Could have sat on the couch but not ideal to not be able to eat together. Not really room for more chairs.No chest of drawers to put clothes away. In one bedroom there is a doorless closet to hang things other has nothing but no room either. Master bed is very hard. Husband and I slept badly. He even pulled out the couch bed and slept there 1 night. 5 star as mostly great & cons are mainly personal preference

Great location just outside Canmore and before BANFF, area was not crowded at all, easy access to the highway, clean home, new appliances, high speed internet.
