What guests think

At Banff Park Lodge, travelers praise newly renovated, spacious rooms, a central walkable location, and generally friendly, helpful staff, while noting ongoing renovations and some operational hiccups that affect convenience, access, and certain amenities during busy periods.

The pool, hot tub, and steam room are popular, though they can be crowded and quiet hours are not always enforced. Many rooms are comfortable and quiet, but multiple reviews mention warm temperatures or limited air conditioning control. Parking is limited and paid, the gym is small, and restaurant or bar availability may vary with renovations. Expect a clean, well-located stay with modern rooms, tempered by occasional renovation and capacity trade-offs.

Free upgrade to a corner room and while the room was nice enough, it was very hot and nothing could be done other than to keep the balcony door open. Hotel is undergoing renovations to the public areas. They should gut the gym and the old machines that don’t work and build a proper gym. Pool was full of kids most of time. And while there is a quiet time from 9-11 they should consider an adult swim time earlier in the day. Sounds negative but positive is location right downtown Banff and most staff nice. Price was very good also.

The room was nice. Would Have liked chairs on the patio even in the fall, the weather was nice. We pre-checked in and selected that we would like parking. When we arrived we were told the parking was full and we were out of luck and just had to find street parking which was really disappointing.

The property was great! The room was clean and quiet, and the staff fluffed it up daily while we were out hiking. The hot tub/pool area had a great ambiance with the lowered lighting at night and the smell of eucalyptus. The location of the lodge is great as it's right next to the center of town. It was easy to walk to restaurants, view the mountains, go to the historic Parks headquarters, etc. Although other reviewers mentioned difficulty in finding a parking space in the underground garage ($14/night), we never had a problem. We'd definitely return!

Overall a great place to stay. Pros: - Prime location right downtown and with 24 hr gas stations across the street. - Nice, newly renovated rooms. Hotel is overall very nice aside from some renovations going on, but such negative impact was limited. - Friendly and helpful staff. - Great Restaurant for breakfast and dinner. - Nice pool, hot tub, and steam room. - Underground heated parking. Cons (very minor): - Some renovation going on that made upstairs restaurant unavailable and hallway narrow. Was originally worried about noise but it was not an issue at all. - Underground parking can fill up completely at night, however when this happened a staff member was able to direct me to some extra space along a wall that I could park in. - Main room lightning controlled by switches was a bit dim and depressing. There are other lights in the room that could be turned on manually, and if so the room looks very nice, but was a little annoying having to do so. - No free breakfast or parking.

The location was perfect, steps away from Banff street. Staff were really friendly. The room was clean, though not completely - some coffee stains from previous customers on tables. The pool and jacuzzi were a bit smaller than pictures would suggest and very crowded, we tried different days and hours, and always many rather loud small children splashing around. Not very relaxing.

The vibe of the room and the hotel was very nice and I can see the appeal, but most of the hotel was under construction so it looked unfinished but still very cool. Really enjoyed the location of this hotel as you can just walk everywhere to in Banff that you'd like to go. Also liked that they have an option to check in early which makes the arrival process so much easier and to check out you just send them a message which is really convenient as well. Two things we didn't appreciate was that they ran out of underground parking that we had paid for earlier to get a spot (they refunded us for it thankfully), so we had to drive around Banff for 20 minutes just to find parking for our hotel (it was insane). But the staff was apologetic and showed us places we could park for free if there was space. The second was that they have their pool hours displayed as regular hours till 9 and then from 9 to 11 was supposedly "quiet time" but we just sat in the hot tub being splashed by children (who's parents didn't care), over and over at 10pm which was really a let down after hiking all day. For the price you can probably find something better but it was good for one nights stay.

Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Good size pool as well and decent rooms. Cons: Limited parking (you should expect that travelling to banff anyway), and probably the smallest and least usable gym I've seen at any hotels (to the point that I didnt even bother using it).

Pros: Really great location. Easy check out. Cons: When we got to our room, there was a dirty sock on the floor which my toddler picked up and brought to me. Checking in was a nightmare with my toddler, the parking to check in is a mess, it was busy and cars were blocking everybody. Outdoor parking cost me $14 and they told me they’d call me if I had to move my car, I told them there’s no way I’m getting back in the car if my son is sleeping in the room, thankfully they didn’t call me but what would they have done if I was away from the hotel on foot? Had to call three times within 4.5 hours for a crib (they told me a crib was available, but called at 4pm and didn’t get one until 8:30). I asked the restaurant if I could pay for a glass of milk for my son, the waiter grumbled and we waited 13 min before just leaving and getting his winter gear on to find a grocery store. The room was adjoining another, there was a large gap under the door and the family next door were very loud until 10:30pm. I put all the towels in the room under the door to fill the large gap to reduce the noise.

Banff park lodge is in a convenient location. You can walk to Banff town and all the restaurants. The major drawback is NO air conditioning. Our trip was in July and the room was uncomfortably hot at night. This was not fun after a long day of hiking. The staff said they had climate control but no A/C. The solution was to open the balcony window and deal with all the street noise and train. Other properties have air conditioning. I regret my decision in staying at Banff park lodge because lack of A/C and unhelpful concierge.

We had a lovely stay in a newly renovated room at the lodge. The updated rooms are super chic and comfortable, the only complaint I have is that the new doors seem to have over an inch gap from the floor so at night we could hear everyone in the hallway and this woke me and my family up a few times, especially early in the morning as guests were talking in the hallway as they left. Other than the sound issue we had a lovely stay. The staff were awesome and we got complimentary parking underground. Would definitely stay again.

The two front desk staff Genete and Clara, were two of the rudest service people I have ever encountered! They were both full of attitude and disrespectful. I was simply explaining to them that my reservation was through Hotels.com and as a Gold Tier there were beverages included with my stay; it actually was one of the reasons why I chose this hotel when there were so many options.

The room was not ready by the guaranteed check in time. I suggested they comp the parking or allow us equivalent later check out time. Both were denied. I felt like the front desk staff that I dealt with were intentionally being unhelpful. Given we are repeat customers over more than 10 years booking multiple rooms it was disappointing.

Great location, walkable to downtown Banff where shops, dining, and transit hubs are located. Pool was very nice, but quiet hours (9-11pm) were not enforced as a staff came in and did not intervene with the loud conference group taking up the whole hot tub for over 30 mins. Staff were very friendly. I loved that they could be reached via text or WhatsApp’s if we needed anything. I would stay here again for sure!

I had a truly wonderful stay at Banff Park Lodge. The room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were welcoming, friendly, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Banff—with beautiful mountain views all around. The overall atmosphere of the lodge felt peaceful and relaxing, and the service throughout my stay was consistently excellent. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the genuine hospitality from the team. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Banff. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip as always.

There was no parking available upon check-in. We were told to find a spot on the street in Banff which costs $84 per 12-hour day. Very inconvenient. The property should have at least one spot per room. Some parking spots in the underground parkade were occupied by maintenance/construction equipment and e-bikes. Although the rooms had been recently renovated, the beds and pillows were not comfortable for us. One of the two restaurants was closed for renovations.
