Buffalo Mountain Lodge - Banff

We were looking for a quiet rustic place to have a girls weekend getaway....this was the perfect ace! We upgraded to a deluxe suit as they had some available. A quick 8 min drive to downtown and we were surrounded by the beautiful countryside!! Lots of wildlife wandering around, walking paths, the hoodoos were within walking distance too!

Nestled in the mountains, we booked a premier queen room as there were no kings. The room looked just like the pictures, it was perfect. What we most loved though was the wood burning fireplace, it was lovely. It was a very relaxing stay. The only downside was that we missed having a view out our windows but we will return.

We stayed for a birthday weekend and enjoyed the hotel. Thw outdoor hottub is large and was a wonderful way to wind down at the end of the day! Had the breakfast buffet and it was amazing, everything was top quality with a selection of french toast, pancakes, breakfast sausages, elk sausages, bacon, eggs benedict, mountains of fresh fruit and pastries […] to choose from! Would stay again! Les mer

My partner and I just returned from a 2 night stay at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge in Banff. We went to do some snowboarding and snowshoeing and we're not disappointed! We stayed in a Premier Queen room and it was absolutely lovely. Clean, quiet, cozy and warm. There was dry wood for us to use for our fire, ample towels, robes and toiletries. The […] views are to die for!! We also took advantage of the outdoor hot tub which was lovely. Our only complaint - there was a lot of static, so we got mini shocks often! Nothing major, just a minor nuisance. We would definitely recommend this hotel....and would stay again in a heartbeat. We even saw deer/elk on one of the afternoons!!! Les mer

Friendly staff and offered to upgrade our room. Very Clean, romantic fireplace, nice comfortable bed, I left my swimsuit and was found and mailed to me. We just noticed that the outdoor hottub needs to be cleaner than what we have noticed around the edges of the tub. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and will definitely comeback and recommend […] to friends. Les mer

Cozy room, great food, enjoyed our stay, would go back.

We booked a regular Lodge Queen room, got a great rate through Hotels.com and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel to find we had been upgraded to the Premium Queen room. This room was great with a fantastic wood ceiling, serene balcony and an amazing bathroom. We utilized the outdoor hot tub and the fireplace. Was a great romantic […] retreat, and we would definitely return. Les mer

Beautiful location, away from the busy streets of Banff. The room was cozy mainly due to the wood fireplace and dim lighting (lighting could be considered a negative). The pillows on the bed were poor quality and left us with sore necks the following morning. The sound proofing of the hotel was disappointing for the cost per night; we could hear our […] neighbours loud and clear during the night and early morning. The cable provided was basic and you can not rent movies; the TV was a tube tv not a flat screen. Overall, the hotel was good, but we would consider other hotels for the price. The location and fireplace were the main reasons for booking. Les mer

We went for a christmas getaway, mid-week; so it was quiet and secluded. We had a king bed and an amazing view of mount Rundle. The bed was comfy and the bath tub was huge! However, the bath tub leaked and the carpet was ripped in places. It was an okay experience, but will most likely not return.

The hotel is tucked away from downtown, so it's quiet, surrounded by trees, and is only a few dollars to get downtown if you want to take advantage of the nightlife. The stainless steel outdoor hot tub is dreamy, all the rooms have wood burning fireplaces, and the premiere room we stayed in had a clawfoot bathtub and heated floors. Friendly staff, […] rustic elegance, and romantic rooms. Great hotel. Les mer

Although the service was good and I perhaps may give it another chance, my overall experience at this hotel was a negative one. Our room was very cold upon arrival and we had to call guest services to check the thermostat and then ended up having to use a space heater to heat up the room. The hot tub was warm at best and probably needed to be 10-20 […] degrees hotter to be considered a hot tub. Worst of all, we stayed in a room (601) which is right on the road and barely got any sleep. There are no soundproof windows, and each car the drives by sounds like it's right in your room. Our experience was ok, but when it comes to getting a good night's sleep, that's make-or-break. And on this one, it broke. Les mer

My favorite place to stay in Banff. I have stayed here for years and really enjoy BML. I hadn't really noticed until this year that the walls are thin. We were disturbed at 4:00am by a party group next door and then again at 6:00am by a crying child in the other adjacent room. Even with the disturbances, BML is a great place to stay and I would recommend […] it to anyone staying in Banff. Les mer

Very Beautiful surroundings! Loved the room, fireplace didn't work that well though! Restarant was suberb, wine list awesome, great service and food was excellent! would recommend it for sure!! Staff were very friendly and accomodating!

My husband and I stayed only one night but we had a wonderful stay the view from the balcony was breathtaking. We ate at the Sleeping Buffalo restaurant, the food was excellent and the service even better, our server was first class. We also used the gym and the hot tub, both were clean. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel was rustic in its amenities and convenient as the wedding reception was across the road. The walls and ceilings are very thin and resulted in disrupted sleep early in the morning. You can hear the water running, people walking and talking. We were awoken at 6am and not able to sleep again and this was three hours before our alarm was set. […] If you plan on leaving at 6 am or sooner, this facility is great for the early riser. If you want to enjoy some sleep, don't plan on it. Les mer

We visit Banff several times a year and will only stay in hotels with outdoor hot tubs. So we checked in late on Friday night and went right to the hot tub, only to find that it was lukewarm at best and the jets were not working. After a few minutes we were so cold we were shivering, so got out and ran back across the parking lot to our room. Once in […] our room we discover that the heat was not turned on, so we spent the rest of the night wearing every piece of clothing we had and shivering under the covers. The room did not really start to warm up until about 4 am. We (politely) complained to the front desk the next morning and were told they hot tub was 98 degrees, which is the hottest they could legally have it. I find this hard to believe since the government run hot springs down the street is 103. Every guest we spoke with complained about the hot tub as well, and we checked each night to see if the heat had been turned up, but it never was. I'm not sure why they were so insistent that the temperature was fine when everybody at the hotel was complaining it was too cold. Perhaps cheap management trying to save on heating rooms and the hot tub? It is too bad because other than this (and double beds in the room rather than queens) we liked the hotel, but based on this problem, and their reaction to it, we won't be back. Les mer

I was extremely impressed with this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. the lodges were spacious, comfortable and clean. i would definately stay here again. it's about a 10 min walk out of the town but that suited us.

Loved the room, the property, the restaurant! Great staff to boot. No complaints here. Check it out!

Room was small and faced the road - there was alot of traffic noise and alot of partying going on nearby. It was pretty loud even with windows closed. Rooms looked like they needed some updating and beds were hard Great helpful staff and wonderful lobby atmosphere.

Very nice grounds. Cozy room with small walk out porch. 5 minutes to down town area. Quite area - fairy expensive for amenities.

I was happy with my 5 day stay here. Comfortable rustic look. Perhaps a little bit pricey especially with no AC or a ceiling fan

although fairly good rooms, the price for the room seemed steep for the quality of the room as it was showing its age. Tiling joint in the bathroom was missing and just seems like needed a upgrade throughout. Log fire was nice but again it shows its age and needed upgrading with new fire grill protection from use.

Excellent room. Excellent food. Very clean and comfortable. No aircon - hard to sleep if hot (even with fan). A little noisey, if neighbouring guests are not considerate. The area is quiet, as it is suburban/rural, a little distant from the centre of town, if that's where you want to be.

Perhaps my expectations were too high but I wasn't at all satisfied with this Lodge. Our suite had windows, which hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, facing a busy street and a noisy parking lot. Since it was summer and there is no air conditioning (not that it was needed), it was very noisy. Lodge itself is small and there was no place to hang […] except the small dining room or bar, i was expecting a beautiful lobby. Fitness room is a joke. There are much nicer places to stay in beautiful Banff. Les mer

The Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a lovely place to stay. The ground are nice and the service is excellent. However, for the price, I'd rather stay downtown in Banff. The room we had was nice, but VERY small. We had to move the furniture around just to open the TV cabinet. I constantly ran into something trying to walk through the room, dodging chairs, […] suitcases and tables. There is no place to unpack other than your bed. You can "store" your suitcase by the door, but there is nowhere to put it to open it and unpack. We chose the floor at the foot of our beds. The bathroom is lovely and large, but there was no stopper in the sink so if you drop anything in the sink (like I did) it's gone. The restaurant prices are high so we spent our time down the mountain in town. There are plenty of nice places in Downtwon Banff to stay for about 1/2 the price. If you've got plenty of cash and don't plan on usingyour room much, this is the place for you! Les mer

Buffulo Mountain lodge is nestled in beautiful snow capped mountains. Easy walk to downtown Banff. Reception staff extremely helpful-nothing was to much trouble. Restaurant food value for money.

The overall quality was great. The wood for the fireplace was a little damp, but other then that great stay.

The room , food , service was excellent . But I found the parking terrible. There were no spaces available any where near our room. we had to park outside the perimeter of the hotel on the busy road.

This wasnt our first stay and won't be the last! We love this hotel above all others in Banff. It's cozy and makes you feel like you are part of the rustic scene without giving up any luxury.

Me and my fiancee stayed here for an anniversary celebration. We had stayed there a few years ago and were looking forward to it. The front desk was prepared for my arrival. The room we walked into was very small and a little stale smelling. Not like the one we experienced our last visit. The furniture they stuffed in there made it hard to get around. […] We phoned the front desk and they were able to accomadate us with an upgraded room for a little extra. We arrived at the second room and got what we expected the first time around. Clawfoot tub, heated floor, wood burning fireplace, vaulted ceiling. Very cosy. There was a conceinience store at a adjacent hotel which was nice. Overall it was a nice stay. We might come back one day. Les mer

The location is fantastic. The room was amazing. The wood for the fire was a little wet. The restaurant was overpriced and the food was not that great. We ate there only one night. The next two nights we ate at the Banff Springs Hotel for half the price of Buffalo Mtn. Lodge. Receptionist was not pleasant. First day room was not cleaned until 2:30p […] m. Les mer

We went to stay in Buffalo Mountain Lodge for our 10th Wedding anniversary and we had a fantastic time. Theere are two comfortable chairs in front of fire place and large bath room with old fashion style of bath tab where we stayed in premier room. The restaurant serves great food. Only once thing I can point out was not too many hotels guets, but we […] needed to make a reservation for dinner. They didn't have enough waiter or waitress? They should hire more and more guests can enjoy delicous meal. Even breakfast/brucn there are empty tables were abailable, but not enough waiter and waitress, so guets had to wait to sit down, which wasn't very efficianet. Les mer

This lodge has very well maintained rooms. Ours had a wood-burning fireplace, nice porch, large bathroom with heated tile floor! Restaurant served good food, bar area was small but cozy. Location was a bit further from town center than we expected, but in return it was a quiet area separated from the action of downtown Banff. The buildings are newer […] construction but they tried to build in as much charm as possible. Recommended. Les mer

This is a nice lodge with a decent location and friendly staff, but all-in-all the amenities didn't live up to the level expected at this price range. We had issues with the radiant heat (which should be a great feature) not working and this problem not being addressed when reported to the staff. On our third and final day it finally started working. The […] lack of refrigerators in these rooms was a real deficiency for a place that's designed for you to spend some time in the room. The real fireplaces are a great feature, but it's almost impossible to get a fire going well (especially when the heat in the room is not working) without setting off the smoke detector for a little while. Les mer

This is a perfect location if you want to be in Banff. It is far enough away from town to not feel like you are there, but close enough to it if you want to be there. We had a suite with one bedroom (king size bed) and a living room/kitchen. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, glassware and utensils. The living room did not have a tv, but did […] have a woodburning fireplace with wood available. The tv was in the bedroom. The views from the room were very nice. The restaurant was excellent. I had the caribou medallions which were wonderful. Les mer

We were so pleased with our choice to stay at the Buffalo mountain lodge. It is a little more secluded than most of the hotels along Banff avenue which was a bonus. After checking in we looked out our window to find a deer. The accomodations were great, and the staff very friendly and helpful.
