8/10 Very good

A beautiful hotel packed full of history!

A unique property located in a beautiful location a top a hill in Waterton. An absolute beautiful setting and unique hotel. A blast from the past and hasn’t changed much since it was built in the early 1900’s! Definitely worth the trip to see the most spectacular incredible views and hiking is second to none!

Better than Banff

We go there for the ambience, this time the lobby area was really cold but it was also the first week of the season. Would really like simpler choices for breakfast all expensive and fancy. We love this place and will continue to come

6/10 Good

Very old Hotel with good and friendly unexperienced Staff,Breakfast Omlette was Cold and no Toast for Breakfast.(better places for Breakfast in Town) Never order an Expesso Coffee because all you get is an regular coffee, they have no clue how to make an expresso. Overall the View is amazing the Hotel is at best average.

8/10 Very good

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!

Prince of Wales Hotel/Watertown downtown-Charming!

Loved this hotel!!! Felt like I went back in time, but with great updated bathroom's and our bed was very comfy. Beautiful view of the lake and mountains and the food was delicious. The town is a short hike away and it is so charming! Would definitely go back!!!

4/10 Fair

Poor Service Experience

The service was extremely disappointing and did not match the high price. When we first arrived, we found a wood tick on the bed. To be fair, when we called the front desk, our bed linens were changed immediately, but this situation raised serious concerns about cleanliness. The next morning, the front desk asked if we were checking out, even though we had booked and checked in for two nights, the system only showed one. Lastly, our room was never cleaned during the day. After our first complaint, we were told housekeeping was still working. When we returned that night, the room was still untouched. We had to call again to get it cleaned, which was frustrating after a long day. Overall, the hotel looks great but the lack of basic service and attention to detail made for a very negative experience. We would not recommend staying at the hotel.
