Great Fun Lodge for Banff Stay - Needs a little updating in areas

Jared G on May 08, 2026

Location is great as it us up on the mountain away but not far from the downtown area. Bus passes included and walking distance if you like a good hike. You can tell that part of the lodge has been renovated and other parts are heavily dated. Some offer new rooms, other areas are very dated and worn with refurbishment much needed. Lobby area and bar very comfy. Should offer free coffee in the AM.

A Cozy and Memorable First Stay in Banff

Erica S (Toronto) on Apr 30, 2026

This was our first time staying in Banff, and Buffalo Mountain Lodge made it such a memorable experience. I stayed with my 6 year old daughter, and she absolutely loved the hot tub. It was a highlight for her after a day of exploring. The views were incredible, and we really appreciated the more remote, tucked away location. It felt peaceful and quiet, which was exactly what we were looking for. While it is not within walking distance to town, that added to the charm for us. We loved the cozy cabin feel of the room, especially the heated bathroom floors and the ability to have a real fire. It made the space feel so warm and inviting. Although we did not get a chance to eat at the restaurant, it looked very lovely. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy and relaxing stay in Banff.
