Great experience from start to finish! The hotel has a warm, cozy mountain lodge atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff was exceptionally friendly and always willing to help with recommendations for things to do in Banff. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with rustic décor that perfectly complemented the surrounding mountain scenery. The beds were especially comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep after a long day of exploring. The hot pool was also a great way to unwind. The location was excellent—just a short walk or shuttle ride to downtown Banff, making it easy to explore the shops, restaurants, and beautiful sights. Overall, I highly recommend Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa for anyone looking for a cozy, comfortable, and convenient place to stay in Banff! I would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel. Needs better views.

Check in was good. Nice hotel. Room was nice. Bed was comfortable. The view outside the window was no good. Could only see the wall of the hotel in the opposite wing. Couldn't see the mountains at all. What a shame.

Check in and check out as good. The same lady was there and great service. When time to go to bed we pulled back the sheets and there was body hair in them. The lady at the front desk had them changed and personally came to give us breakfast vouchers for buffet. She was kind. The next morning we had brunch and a make server licked ketchup off his finger twice and wiped hand on stack of clean napkins and proceeded to serve the plates to the customers. I was shocked

Picturesque setting and convenient for accessing ski hills. Beds are too soft and pillows are too high so bad for the back. Place was quiet. Staff were friendly.
