Banff Hotels with Breakfast

My first time staying in a lodge and I didn’t expect the fireplace enhance the entire vibe of room. If you are not a fan of fireplace, the room also provides automatic heater system. I like the design of the bathroom, very spacious and modern. Especially it has L’occitane shower gel and shampoo. There are lights in the room, but still without the daylight, the room is still very dim for reading. Also, some spots in the bathroom have traces of refurbishing, and there are dust and crusts left near the holder and wall. Parking is free, right in front of our room. Very accessible for us to upload our luggage in the room. We are pleased to be able to get a room at the main floor and would love to come back again next time in the summer. =

On March 19th 2026 at noon, I called the hotel and spoke with a lady who seemed to be the manager. I told her that I couldn’t drive to Banff from Kamloops because of the road closure on Trans-Canada Highway 1 and Highway 93 due to the bad weather—heavy snow, a force majeure situation, Mother Nature herself! That lady didn’t want to cancel my reservation and give me a full refund. I asked her which road I should take, but she couldn’t answer. I had to take alternate roads to Jasper, Hinton, Evansvurg, Drayton Valley, Rocky Mountain House, Sundre, Cochrane, and finally arrived at the hotel around 2 a.m. That lady really should have not been working at the hotel.

The counter staff is friendly and the feeling is very comfortable. There are few breakfast options, but a simple gym is good. There is a refrigerator, microwave and bathtub, which is great. There are also many seats in the lounge on the first floor. Open-air bathing is really recommended, and it is very clean! ! I think the CP value is very high, and there is a free parking space! ! It is very convenient to drive to Banff. It is a little distance from the town, about 15 minutes walk. But overall it is still highly recommended.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Banff. It's right in the heart of downtown, next to a street full of great restaurants, and just across the road from a shopping paradise. Getting anywhere is super convenient! We stayed for three nights, and the room was really spacious. Our double twin room easily accommodated four of us. On the first floor, there's free hot water, cold water, and coffee available. The hotel also has a swimming pool and a very comfortable hot spring pool. One thing to note is that they don't clean the room automatically; you need to hang a 'please clean' card outside for service. We didn't put it out on the first day, so the room wasn't cleaned. The hotel offers laundry facilities: $5 CAD per wash and $3 CAD per dry, with complimentary laundry pods provided. We used it twice.

The breakfast included was a nice touch! My friend and I (two females) stayed in a mixed-gender dorm, and we had absolutely no issues. We even made friends in the common kitchen!

Really enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, cozy, and the staff were very accommodating from check-in until checkout. They even offered complimentary coffee and tea upon arrival which was such a nice touch. What made our stay extra special was how they surprised our son with a birthday cake and restaurant credit for his birthday. Super thoughtful and truly appreciated. Thank you for making our stay memorable

Our stay at Caribou Lodge was perfect! Exactly what we were expecting. The proximity to downtown is great - 10 minute walk or you could take the ROAM bus straight downtown. The hotel has character and we had the perfect stay. All staff was super friendly and inviting. The front desk employee was super helpful and explained our ROAM passes and the other amenities perfectly. Loved that Rocky Mountain Soap Co was in all the bathrooms, too! All in all, a great experience for a great price and I would highly recommend it. 

We stayed at Royal Canadian Lodge in Banff from March 26–29 with my 7-year-old daughter, and overall we had a great experience. Check-in was simple and straightforward. We arrived in the early evening, and Jason at the front desk was the most approachable and helpful hotel staff member I have ever dealt with. He remembered my daughter’s name, greeted her every day, checked in with us throughout our stay, and added little touches that made the trip feel extra special for both of us. The renovated room itself was fairly standard for a hotel room, but comfortable. Our room had two queen beds, which worked well for us. The bathroom had a shower only, with no bathtub, but that was not an issue. The pillows were big and lumpy, all 8 of the pillows in our room were too high/tall for my daughter to use comfortably. There are robes provided in the room, it would be a nice touch if they could also provide kids size robes. We had a mini fridge, coffee maker with coffee, and kettle with tea provided in the room. We ordered room service one night and tried the pulled pork poutine, which was the daily special from the restaurant. Unfortunately, it was not very good, and I would not recommend it. The TV included free cable and on-demand programming, as well as pay-per-view movies. I had brought my laptop and an HDMI cord, and we were able to connect it to the TV easily to watch our own movies. Watching on-demand, my daughter discovered The Simpsons and loved it (lol) The pool area was a big highlight for us. The pool is salt water rather than chlorine. The water itself was on the cooler side, but there was also a good-sized hot tub and a large steam room. My daughter quickly made friends with another family staying at the hotel, and the kids spent multiple hours a day in the pool together. The gym was small but functional. In the four days we were there, it was empty every time we walked by. Parking is $20 per day, which does add up. There is also free street parking behind the hotel if you are able to find a spot. One fun feature in the lobby was the robot, which the kids absolutely loved. We were told that after construction is complete, it will be delivering items to guest rooms. During our stay it moved around the lobby, told jokes, and handed out free apples. The hotel was reasonably priced compared with other options in the area. I chose it specifically for the pool setup, knowing we would be spending a lot of time there, and it worked out really well for that. Shops and restaurants on the main street were about a 10-minute walk away, or you could take the bus that stops outside the neighboring hotel for $2 per ride, with kids riding free. I would definitely stay here again in the future. The price, location, rooms, and pool make this a very family-friendly hotel option in Banff. Biggest thank you to Jason at the front desk for the spectacular service we enjoyed.

Nice room, spacious with perfect Rocky Mountain and River view, just like a paint! Have different hotel activities for us to join to understand more about the Hotel History and Banff, say Hotel History Tour, Twilight Walk. * hope more quota can be added There are different restaurants for our choices, I love The Rundal, Waldhaus, The Vermollion Room, all with good scenery at window seat. *advance reservation via online is suggested The yoga class, gym room, outdoor hot pool, indoor pool are also good for us to have some relaxation activities!

Right next to the Bow River, so on a nice day, you step out to river views. It's also within walking distance of the town center and the Banff High School bus stop. For breakfast, you can go across to the Banff Park Lodge, and the food there is decent. The staff are friendly, and there's hot water available in the lobby.
