Nice location and rooms were fine but the price point felt a bit high. And a giant hot tub is not a pool - wouldn’t have stayed there if I knew that (kids didn’t like it).

Rooms great and property very clean. Check in and out was easy. The only dining option in the hotel was The Keg which I have frequented in Ontario for decades and normally love. In this case I was disappointed. While my teriyaki sirloin was very good, my husband's prime rib was most unappealing and looked rather like it had been boiled (or sous vide'd) as it was quite grey. On our last morning at approximately 8:45, we went for the buffet breakfast. Every item was cold. Having said that our previous breakfasts ordered from the menu had been excellent. Bottom line: I would most definitely stay again but would explore more dining options.

Everything was good. No major complaints. Easy 4 star rating. A few items to be aware of: 3/4 mile walk to shops/food made returning to the lodge impractical during the day (if you are tired after hiking) - local bus is easy if you don't mind the stops. Priced similar to closer properties. Air conditioning was off in August, so room got hot during day and wasn't cool yet at bedtime.

Convenient location a walkable distance from restaurants and amenities. Our room was on the top floor with a lowered roof that made the space seem even smaller. We’ve stayed here before in a larger suite so would recommend looking for a larger room if available/ affordable.

Banff Caribou Lodge - just okay.

The hotel is pretty old and tired looking. Our room had a musty smell, was supposedly a superior room, can’t imagine what a standard room would have been like. The continental breakfast in The Keg did not have that many options. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I did not think this hotel was good value for money and would likely try and find an alternative next time we are in Banff.

Beautiful property, but once we got to our room, things went downhill. Room was very hot and no AC. We do have a very small window and a small fan. Extremely disappointed that given the price we paid, we can’t even see the mountains from our room. Bathroom is very small and no exhaust fan, so after taking a shower, it’s very steamy for a while. We were on the 4th floor but felt like we were under a set of stairs… making the small room feel even smaller. I’m just very disappointed given the price we paid to stay here.
Feels a little like Harry Potter… no that’s not an endorsement.
