We spent one night in this place. In one word, that was an awesome place! The room was enough big with all required equipment like an additional heater, tasty coffee, … I personally liked the hot tub. I used it in April when outdoor was chilly. I recommend that you bring your water and slippers.

Excellent stay

Great service from the start. Beautiful room, well kept and clean. I called in the evening to see if there was a microwave available and the front desk delivered one to my room. The staff are always super friendly. I love staying here and will definitely stay again.

Great location and cozy room

It was an amazing stay at the buffalo mountain lodge. The fire place gave a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. It was excellent service overall. A family of deer welcomed us after we checked in. Staying at this lodge made our Banff trip more special. The bus stop is right across the road, which makes it easier to get around. Also we could walk to the town through the neighbourhoods nearby. My husband and I will definitely book this lodge again when we come back to Banff.

Always like coming to Buffalo Mountain Lodge. Very special place. The tile floor in the room was very dirty. Hard to notice but it's the little details that make a place extra special.
