Royal Canadian Lodge

lovely, character hotel in a great location with brilliant staff . 15 min walk or roam buses right outside

The staff was friendly and helpful. Even before we departed the United States, the hotel 'concierge' swiftly and successfully booked Banff gondola tickets through Pursuit and bus transfers from/to Calgary and between Banff and Lake Louise with Brewster Express! Although the Royal Canadian Lodge was one of the hotels located furthest away from town, it was a relatively short walk there, and the shuttle stop was steps from the front door.

The location is a 10 min walk from the main part of town. The local bus stops just outside and across the road for return trip. The room was quite large with 2 queen beds and a 2 chairs by the window. It was comfortable,had a gas fire which would be very cosy when needed . Lovely size bathroom with seperate area for toilet and shower. The basins adjacent to that in another area you can close off. Robes were also provided which I appreciated. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed. Unfortunately the air conditioner was very noisy and I ended up turning it off and leaving the window open. Didn’t have breakfast but did have a meal which was very nice. The pool, spa was a nice area too but the pool was a bit on the cold side for me.

Very clean room and one of the comfiest hotel beds I’ve slept on in years. Staff were helpful and polite, the concierge was especially helpful. Fantastic location, just out of town so great to have quiet from the huddle and bustle but close enough to walk in for food & drink. Spa was also great, mineral jacuzzi. Good parking underground.

Great place to stay with the family, outside of the main drag, but close enough to walk to anything we need. The staff was very helpful, and everything was clean and comfortable. Parking was easy and convenient.
