Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Minimalist rooms. Had high tea in the main area and we were sweating due to sun. That made it uncomfortable to enjoy the tea. Suggestion is to move the tables back out of the sun. All in all a great stay

Beautiful until you step in your room

The exterior and all the common areas of the hotel are beautiful. Our room, however, was shabby. The carpet was old, the blinds were old, and the chairs were filthy, and the cushions were as flat as pancakes. The room was not clean. The windows were filthy, and the beautiful new bathroom had dirt on the tile underneath the mirror which you couldn’t even see in. The room smelled musty. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. There was a $12 convenience fee if you wanted anything such as a hairdryer or white noise machine. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I was very disappointed.

Built in 1927 the hotel has history and elegance with a million dollar view! The evening presentations were informative and presented by staff dressed in traditional uniforms. The elevator is one of the oldest in Canada and cannot be operated independently by guests therefore a climb of 71 steps to get to our 5th floor room was required. The rooms are simple and a bit small, but that lake & mountain view made up for it. We would definitely stay again!

Room was too primitive. More furniture would have been nice. Controlling the room temperature was impossible.

We had a wonderful stay at the Prince of Wales Hotel! The location is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views, and the historic charm of the hotel really added to the experience. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made us feel right at home. We also really enjoyed the food — everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The only small disappointment was that the bar closed at 10:00 PM. After a day of exploring, it would’ve been nice to unwind a bit later in the evening with a drink and the incredible view. That said, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise a great visit. We’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Waterton!
