I stayed for five nights in different rooms, all single rooms some with bathroom some without. The rooms are Spartan. Lighting is very dim. The window blinds do not shut out the light and many do not work properly. In one room there was no light that could be reached from the bed. You get two small bars of soap... More

We had stayed there for 4 nights, just a 10 mins walk to the city center. The newly renovated room is quite spacious, clean and very quiet indeed with nice environment and mountain view. We enjoyed a great price with simply breakfast provieded. The staff members were also very friendly and helpful.

We had a great stay here. This not-for-profit hostel/hotel run by the YWCA is in the old hospital building, so it is quite a large complex. There are dormitories on the lower floors as well as a self service kitchen, lounge room and laundry. The private rooms are on the upper floors. Our room was quite large, very clean although... More

If you are someone looking for a hotel with lots of facilities then this is not the place to stay. If you are looking for somewhere to just sleep, be able to have a shower and easily walk into banff that is cheap this is a great place. The room was clean, with a fairly decent bed and bedding, the... More

Thanks Waterfem for taking the time to review your stay with us. As you correctly identified our properties great advantages are the affordable price of rooms & it's downtown location close to Banff Avenue. Plus we're right next to the new pedestrian bridge across the Bow River. We've just finished a major room upgrade, so the hallways are next on... More

I stayed in the lodge for the family weekend with a few friends in the private rooms. I found my room was okay apart from there is no kettle and the light switches were out side the room banked together with next doors so if you have a idiot next door he keeps switching yours on by mistake. Not the... More

Do not be fooled by the website title 'hotel and hostel;' this is definitely more of a hostel. My husband and I arrived for a weekend getaway, after booking this 'hotel' for a special weekend rate. The first room that we were assigned to was quite plain - just a bed and a chair. However, the clock radio was completely... More

Stayed at the lodge for a weekend and ended up extending my stay until the following Thursday. After reading some mixed reviews I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Decent shower, comfortable beds, free wifi and five bucks for a delicious hot breakfast was an added bonus. Staff was pleasant, helpful and... More

We stayed Oct. 27. Our hostel was close to down town and had a group room with a bathroom, and there were female only rooms. All bedding was supplied, but the room and kitchen could be a little cleaner.
