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!

The hotel is an old hotel but if you want to enjoy the nostalgia of it for a night I’d say do it! Great view of Upper Waterton lake. Food & drinks a bit spendy. Many stairs to climb if you stay on upper floors or get a Bell boy to take you on the old elevator. Staff were amazing and so kind and helpful. No air conditioning, just fan & windows open. Our room was quite small with a great view of lake.

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

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.

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!

Hotel put us in a room beside the ladies bathroom first night, it was also an adjoining room which was loud and the neighbours complained about our daughter crying at 8pm and got moved. The second night, they moved us to a room beside the elevator basically in the attic, after we asked right in the morning to move, the front desk said that's all they had to offer. It was the loudest most inconvenient stay ever. The front desk staff was young and inexperienced, they put people with a baby in the loudest rooms, causing them to have to move 2+ rooms (ours and our neighbours). Not sure if it's because we booked hotels.com - but felt like we were discriminated against because of how we booked - that or the staff are totally incompetent. The hotel is old and rickety. For what you pay, you get a 100 year room with pillows that are from dollarama 5 years ago. The staff seem unprofessional and the whole hotel / restaurant are essentially a cash grab. Definitely recommend staying in town and just going here for the viewpoint. This was one of the worst stays I've ever had.
