Lovely stay but very dated
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!
We stayed for five nights. There was a problem with no heat in our room. The desk gave us a portable heater to use. The shower in our room was great. Coffee in the room worked well. May we suggest a coffee station in the lobby as well?
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.
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.
Lovely stay here - v close to river with chance of seeing deer and elk in mornings. Hotel is old style for sure but very comfortable - staff were very nice too
Convenient, clean. Facilities are a bit dated but good value compared to other places in Banff.

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!
