Fantastic location, serene, peaceful and out of the world experience. Friendly staff at hotel and reception. Staff helped us with luggage from the carpark which is not next to the inn. I happened to be traveling to Jasper from banff and decided to take a break at the last minute at the glacier view inn. Took a walk near the... More

Rooms very large including 1 queen, 1 pull out queen sofa bed, and 2 twin beds in an upper spacious loft. All rooms are non smoking and extremely clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Daniel at the checkin desk provided excellent advice and was very knowledgeable about the area. Dining room service was great by Alam and Demis. I... More

The hotel is in a remote location but it helps if you want to take a break from driving and at the same time stop by to look at the Athabasca glacier. The room is clean and the beds are comfortable. There is the view of the glacier but he window is small. Downturn also includes the spring -loaded faucets... More

This hotel is located across the highway from the Columbia Ice Field. Given how long it took to drive there from Banff (almost 3 hours) and a 2 hour tour on the glacier, the thought of driving all the way back was too much for us to attempt with our 5 month old. So, instead we chose to come up... More

The other recent reviewers sum it up well - it's not a great hotel but it serves it's purpose well. My wife and I chose here for 2 reasons; 1 - to break up the journey from Canmore to Jasper, allowing plenty of time to stop at the many sights along the beautiful Icefields Parkway without rushing. 2 - to...

We stayed in a Glacier View room for a couple nights as a way to split our visit to Jasper and Banff NP. While definitely overpriced, they are among the few accommodations nearby; the location is great - just across the highway from the Columbia Icefields. We were able to get a room with a loft so 2 couples plus... More

Granted the rooms are expensive, granted the faucets are spring loaded, granted the food is over priced BUT who can put a price on the opportunity to spend a few hours in such a special environment. Timing is everything, and we appreciated the tip of a previous reviewer. Arriving in the late afternoon, we watched the " day trippers" depart,... More

Look out your window late at nigt--see the moon shining over the glacier just across the road. The stars are twinkling, the ice is gleaming--just magnificent. The hotel, while not exactly as magnificent, is certainly an interesting place to stay midway between Banff and Jasper. The Explorer vehicles that take you on to the glacier is an incredible experience and... More

By concentrating on criticising the unusual bathroom taps and the number of steps to the door (easily avoided), I think some reviewers are missing the real point about this place. As the name says, you are paying here for a unique position overlooking three huge glaciers: a World Heritage Site. By staying here, (and with careful timing because the place... More
