Banff Beaver Cabins — Hotel in Banff

We stayed in the Gopher Basement Cabin. |You enter the cabin at ground level and have to descend a fairly steep set of steps to the main part of the cabin. The steps have a couple of loose covers on the front of the steps which are easy to trip up on and the rail is loose.|Entering the kitchen there is a decent sized fridge. The cooking facilities are very mixed. There's a decent range of knives, a very useful slow-cooker and a good sized microwave. The pans provided are of very poor quality with very uneven bases making one of them extremely slow to warm up. Because of their poor quality, food caught on the bottom every single use. |The bedroom is poorly laid out and the main bed, which is comfortable enough is within a metre of the toilet door which isn't ideal. The toilet which also houses the shower is cold.|The TV was rubbish with very few channels available and a picture that went off if you walked close to it. I mentioned it on our arrival but nothing changed except instructions on how to bypass the numerous unavailable channels which was very tedious.|Decor in the cabin is dated and in need of upgrading. This is exacerbated by it being a rather gloomy and dark place due to very little natural light.|Heating in the cabin was controlled in the cabin above so we had no control over the temperature which varied from too hot to too cold in the course of our 4 week stay, though there is an electric heater to top up the temperature.|For most of the time the people above were quiet but in the last week they were very noisy often until late at night into the early hours.|The location is great: less than 5 minutes walk to the ski shuttle stop and similar to the facilities of Banff Avenue.|We stayed for 4 weeks. We have stayed in Canada on more than 10 occasions and in Banff 6 times, several of which have been for long stays. We have always had excellent accommodation, whatever the price range. We have stayed in all sorts of places and are very unfussy people. The cabin was relatively inexpensive for Banff but not cheap by any means. We were disappointed in the quality to say the least and it somewhat spoiled our trip, such that mid trip we moved to a hotel for 4 nights just for a bit of comfort and similarly for the last 2 nights of our stay, expenses we really didn't| want to incur but wanted to rescue the experience. We have waited a long time for the trip.|If you are a group of young guys looking for something quite basic or wanting a relatively inexpensive short break, the cabin we had might be ok but we felt it wasn't up to expectations for a...

We arrived on holiday in Banff to visit my son and his girlfriend who live there and we stayed in the Elk cabin in May for 14 nights. The cabin has two bedrooms, a combined lounge/dining area and seperate kitchen which was well equipped with all that you could need. It had a full size fridge, microwave, coffee machine, jug, toaster all utensils and crockery/glasses and a 2 element hot plate but unfortunately no oven. A seperate bathroom with shower, basin and toilet. The cabin was very warm and cosy with adjustable central heating and the beds were very comfortable. My son has a car so it was great that there is off street parking available on the property as well. The communication from the hosts JP and Katrin was absolutely fantastic before and during our stay. Nothing was ever a problem and any communication was promptly answered. We loved everything about our stay at Beaver Cabins. They are very centrally located being one street behind Banff Avenue which is the Main Street with easy access to shops, restaurants, laundromat, bus stop and IGA supermarket. We plan to visit Banff again one day soon and will hopefully be able to stay at the Beaver Cabins on our next visit...

We are a family of three plus my mother and we stayed in the Moose cabin in April for 15 nights. The cabin has two large bedrooms including a separate lounge room with its own door which my teenage daughter absolutely loved as she had her own privacy and the fold out sofa bed was very comfortable to sleep on. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils a full size fridge and large oven which was great as we cooked most nights. The communication from our hosts JP and Katrin was fantastic before and during out stay and any issues were promptly taken care of.||||We loved everything about the Beaver Cabins, they are very clean, cozy, very comfortable beds and very centrally located (one street behind Banff Avenue) to shops, restaurants, laundry, bus stop and IGA store.||We will most definitely be staying at Beaver Cabins on our next...
