“Reasonable B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in June, 2011.

I had difficulty finding the words to say exactly how I felt about this place, so I have plagiarised some from MandMfromMelb in a previous review, because they said it perfectly!

At Wit's End was a reasonable price and conveniently located near the main street of Banff. We stayed in the small room which although compact, was comfortable enough for our needs. We used the small bathroom down the hall which was also fine.

The hot breakfast each morning was fine (although a little repetitive when staying there a number of days), and it's always nice to share breakfast with other guests. Barbara and Vic were pleasant enough, although as MandM pointed out, you wouldn't describe them as natural hosts (sometimes slightly intrusive and a little awkward, but always very nice).

I don't have any real complaints, there just wasn't anything special for me to highly recommend this B&B. I probably would just try a different accommodation next time I visit Banff. We stayed in a lot of B&B's throughout our 5 weeks in Canada/Alaska, and this felt like nothing special.

“Lovely B & B with very friendly hosts.”

We spent 4 lovely nights here and found our room very comfortable. We had the ensuite double - the bathroom was very large. It was great to all eat breakfast at the same time with other travellers from around the world, and the breakfasts were very good; plenty of fruit, toast, omlette and sometimes muffins each morning. Plenty to keep us going until the early evening!. The shared sitting area with fridge was very useful. We would stay here again if we returned to Banff. A good B & B experience.

“Good location, most helpful owners”

Location is good - short walk to town centre, on bus route to gondola, hot springs, monstosity that is the Banff Springs Hotel. I'd recommend taking one of the good-sized en-suite rooms. There is a guest sitting room with fridge, microwave. comfortable chairs and lots of tourist information. Breakfast was excellent. Hosts Barbara and Vic are warm, friendly and do their best to ensure you enjoy your stay, with good advice on where to go, what to do and suggestions for where to eat.

“Convenient B and B in Banff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2010
3
people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed with Barbara and Vic for three nights while on our road trip to National Parks. It was about an 8 minute walk from their B and B to downtown Banff which was was great. They gave us tips on hikes and even gave us a guide book for one day. Breakfast was plentiful and served at 8 a.m. My only thought here is that we couldn't get an earlier start to do and see things in the national park., so we wish it could have been served earlier.
I e-mailed Barbara early in 2009 and we developed a great friendship by internet. When we arrived I felt we were cousins! Great place to stay in Banff.
