Great Location for walking to EVERYTHING in BANFF. Roomy but need updating. Had the option to use pool, hot tub…at sister property but this was not very convenient. Desk staff was loud during the night. Opt for a River view room if available

The people were nice. The amenities available next door, the pool and the hot tub, were quite nice. The walkability in the area was very good, next to the river and downtownt. The rooms I felt could have been updated, they were just so so.

Bow View Lodge was nice, the only thing we didn't like was that we had laundry to do and had to go to the other motel that they also own and use the laundry room, it only had one washer and one dryer, the room was very dirty!! There were dirty dishes on the table and a microwave for people to use. It was GROSS!

The property is old and run down, it badly needs renovation. The staff are all nice though but the physical condition of the building needs to be addressed.

Please be aware that the photos included here include both the Bow View Lodge, as well as its sister hotel the (much nicer) Banff Park Lodge, which is very misleading. The Bow View Lodge was unbearably uncomfortable and wasn’t worth the premium price.

Having the river view room with a balcony really improves the use of the room for relaxing and just hanging out. It so close to everything for walking.

Stay in Banff
The staff were extremely helpful and very very pleasant both during the day and night. The hotel is very well located close to the main town center and buses so a car isn't needed. The room was very clean and comfortable.
