Buffalo Mountain Lodge
The manager at the front desk was so helpful! The room was amazing, the balcony and fireplace made the place so cozy I hardly wanted to leave. Service was super fast as well to restock fire supplies and coffee.

Tunnel Mountain Resort
Staff is amazing and accommodating, rooms are clean and perfect for a little getaway. Only downside is the pool area isn’t the greatest in Banff. If the pool were heated, I think it would be better, but otherwise absolutely love it here and we’ll be coming back for sure.

HI Banff Alpine Centre - Hostel
First time staying in a hostel and this place exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly, free bear spray to check out each day, free bus pass, large lockers and under bed storage. The restaurant and bar had great food and drink options at an affordable price.
