Excellent location, very comfy bed and Susan was interesting to talk to.

Whilst this is a good b&b, I feel if Susan takes note of and acts upon some of the issues raised in previous reviews it could easily be a great b&b with very little extra effort: 1. Be a bit more flexible with breakfast times - 8 30 on the dot may not suit everyone 2. Check dietary requirements - I was very surprised not to be asked this 3. Make the beds ! - it takes 5 minutes and honestly makes a huge difference 4. Change/fold towels - again I was surprised this wasn't done in the six days I was there 5. The breakfasts were nice and tasty but lacked variety.

It was our first time in Banff and we were glad that we stayed here. The location is perfect, central and quiet at the same time. The room was big and comfy. Susan is really a great person, we enjoyed starting the day with our conversation with her and her breakfast, both were lovely. Listening Banff from a local like her and hearing her life stories in this house and Banff is something I always want to remember. And the trees in the front garden, so pleasing to gaze at any time of the day, along with cute birds and little elks wondering around.

The only thing we were uncomfortable was that the shower was really loud, even loud enough to wake you up.

what a gem to have a beautiful b and b well located,well appointed and a very friendly and generous host. we stayed for three nights and each breakfast was different and very well presented. having access to a microwave and fridge and an outdoor patio area made our stay even more enjoyable . the host is a longtime resident of Banff and we had many long conversations with her especially over leisurely breakfasts.

we arrived on the weekend and the traffic was fairly heavy but we had no problem finding parking in the street

Breakfasts were delicious and it was nice to have variety. Particularly enjoyed our breakfast chats with our host, Susan :) The location could not be better - easy to find, within easy walking distance of town and river and still quiet at night (once you get used to the trains ... and that only took the first night). Just loved our stay in Banff!

The room was clean, comfortable and well-equipped . There was a pleasant shady outdoor seating area for each room. The breakfasts were excellent and different each day. We enjoyed chatting to the host and the other guests over breakfast. All guests had access to a kitchen/living area. The location couldn't have been better.

The shower was noisy.

Location was fantastic . Rooms were large with King sized bed with lots of room for all the gear. It was quiet, comfortable, clean and cozy. Washroom was large and modern. Susan was a friendly host. Overall it felt like home away from home. It really made for a great vacation! We’ll be returning again next time for sure. We’d highly recommend this B&B.

No issues.

Susan was extremely welcoming! We loved the location, the facilities were clean with everything we needed and the breakfast/coffee was delicious. We had to leave early on our last morning (well before breakfast time) and she still left out some muffins/fruit for us which was so kind. We could not recommend this place more highly.

Location is really good as you can walk into town. Charming room. There are only 2 guest rooms and there is a common kitchen/ eating facility which was really handy. Great breakfasts prepared by the Sue’s. Any issue we had was solved quickly. It was great to chat with others there during our stay.

We had a great stay.

Perfect location, easy 5 minute walk into town.

No private tea/coffee facilities, had to use the communal kitchen area. Breakfast was a bit minimal. small disturbance from voices on adjoining property for most of night (not Poplar Inn's fault !)

Beautiful room in a lovely house in quiet location just on the edge of town. 5 minutes walk into town. Easy parking just outside house. Very welcoming host. Freshly prepared breakfast each morning. Don't hesitate to book if staying in Banff.

Nothing.
