We had a nice stay at the Bow Lodge. We were in Banff for a night and it was nice to be able to stay so close to the main area and have easy parking. We were able to walk along the river before heading out which was a nice way to start the day!

Pictures on your site don’t show exactly how it is. We arrived after dark. Staff not knowledgeable, rooms are very outdated for the price, but were clean. The Banff area is very expensive, but for what we paid, I would have gladly paid more to stay in an updated facility and room.

If you're lucky, you will have a great view of the mountain & river from your balcony. The staff are friendly too. Location is just few blocks away from the busy street of banff (stores & all). And you can catch up your bus to Gondola within 10mins walk from this lodge.
Nice mountain & river view from.our Balcony
Anxious at first coz we are advice that the room.does not have A/C. But when night falls, we realized that its not necessary.
