10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying at Bow View Lodge, and once again, it did not disappoint! From the warm, friendly welcome at check-in to the peaceful atmosphere throughout our stay, everything was just as perfect as we remembered. The location is unbeatable, right by the Bow River with incredible views of the mountains. It’s so relaxing to wake up and take in the scenery from the room or the outdoor patio. The lodge has a great mix of comfort and charm, and the staff are always eager to make sure everything is just right.

The room was as described. Nothing fancy, if a little warm. The beds were quite small, and they had squeezed two into a small room. We got a river view, but didn't spend much time in the room to appreciate it.

The location is great for avoiding the summer crowds, “reasonable” for Banff prices, with access to sister properties with pool and dining. Rooms were spacious though dated; no AC in summer. Staff very helpful and friendly

4/10 Fair

Staff joked that our room was given away...

Arrived for check in where the staff told us our room was given away and she thought it was a funny joke. We entered our room with the smallest tv, a corderoy blanket so heavy it caused pain to sleep with, a heater that didn't work on a cold night and a very old room in need of renovation. It may have been in a good location, but definitely not worth the price.
Denise, 2-night trip

Weekend by and on the Bow River.

The best location in town for access to the Bow River. Friendly helpful staff. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Good water pressure. Convenient on-site parking.
