Bow View Lodge

We stayed here one night and it was a good stop over. The beds were very comfortable and we had good facilities in the room. There's no eating facilities in this hotel but the staff were quick to explain that the restaurants in the sister hotel (next door) were available to us. We ate at the Italian restaurant and it was fabulous. Great food and great service. All the staff were very friendly. A great location not far from the main streets and next to a river walk.

This is situated next to the river and within close walking distance of Banff downtown. Perfect for exploring on foot. Use of Banff Lodge facilities (Nextdoor) including pool was great too. Green scheme of $5 per day voucher for not using daily housekeeping towards food. Good welcome pack, coffee machine and fridge in room. Access ice machine. Good WiFi. Helpful staff on reception.

Really liked the location - close to the center of town and amenities, yet quiet. One of the rooms we booked looked out to the river and the trees. There's water both cool and hot (for tea/coffee) at the ground floor lobby, there's an elevator, every floor has a communal microwave in the lobby. The fridge in the room was very effective, actually froze our milk/coke. Bathrooms were a little tight but very manageable. Despite not having air conditioning, letting the outside air in and having a room fan kept the temperature very comfortable. Parking is in sister property Banff park lodge (right next door, still good access), quite a lot of spaces available in the underground parking (even though we were in the height of summer), seemed relatively safe. The garage has card access. There are lodge workers and lodge items stored in the garage parking areas.

We liked everything about this hotel, friendly staff, amenities, and cleanliness of the room. Coffee and tea are always available for the guest. The microwave is very handy for reheating drinks and food. There is always a parking spot available. Easy access to gas station and Banff Ave. 5 mins walk to IGA. It is very convenient, homey, and the price is so affordable. We will definitely stay again. Thank you for taking care of us.

The view! It was stunning. The location in town was perfect, the staff very welcoming and kind, they left a lovely card in the room when they realised it was our honeymoon, with some wine. I'd definitely go back, it was great value (we were there in April).
