Excellent position for the town and the Bow River Trail. The hotel had no restaurant but had arrangements with the hotel next door, for clients to have breakfast. Communal microwaves were available in public area. The rooms had reasonable facilities and the staff were pleasant.

We had a lovely stay at the Bow View Lodge, the reception staff were very helpful and friendly. However, the rooms are in desperate need of a refurb as the rooms are very very dated and tired looking. For how much they charge for a room, you would expect to not see water marks on the ceiling and toilet roll holder just hanging on!

Small and dirty room
5.0 / 5.0
We loved our stay at this hotel, perfectly situated on the Bow River in Banff! We had a beautiful river view. All reception staff were lovely and very competent. Some even made activity recommendations. Everything was within walkable distance. While the room was warm on a hot day, a fan cooled us down quickly.
5.0 / 5.0
The location was unbeatable! The hotel itself was basic but met our needs. They supplied a fan and heater as there was no AC.
1.5 / 5.0
No AC and sliding door locked because deck was just painted. Not cheap for this room.
4.0 / 5.0
Great location. The staff was exceptional, so polite and took time to share information for everything from outings to food to directions. Only problem was the heater turning on late at night. It was too late when we went to bed to call maintenance because we didn't want to wake up the entire family in the family room, so we opened the windows and then the train woke us up during sleeping hours.

5.0 / 5.0
I chose this location because of the location, close enough to shopping and dining but off the path and right next to the Bow River Trail and a few blocks away from Tim Hortons for Morning Coffee. The hotel is dated but the rooms are comfy and clean. This hotel does not have air conditioning but they do have a small table fan in room. We did request an additional one , which they provided. The staff was incredible. Very knowledgeable, extremely kind and accommodating. One the 3nd night there my daughter asked if I could keep her dogs for the night and I asked the front desk and they said I should be able to switch rooms the next day-no problem. The only issue I had was that the next day was my daughters wedding. But the staff handle it all while we celebrated and when I got back for the night they had switched it all. HOW AMAZING! I was so worried and for no reason, they understood the assignment and killed it. I will be back for sure!

4.0 / 5.0
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
3.0 / 5.0
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.

I just didn’t quite the early wake up call from passing trains and would great if it posted about that but enjoyed my stay
4.0 / 5.0
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.

Wonderful location.

Good location. Easy walk to Banff street where there us no parking. So we left car at hotel & walked everywhere. Also very close to River & place to go for canoe rides

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.

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.
