We had such an amazing experience, it was our honeymoon trip and we enjoyed every moment of our stay at Banff. The location is great, in the city center, the room had everything we needed and the bathroom was next to the room, very private and big. There are only two rooms, so it's very quiet and peaceful. Karen took care of us and give us lots of recommendations to visit the area, prepared the best breakfast we've had during our trip, all homemade and gave us zip bags so we could also prepare sandwiches for lunch throughout the day. It also offers free parking which is a plus. If you see availability, book, don't doubt it!

We arrived before check in time but were able to leave our bags and go explore the town. When we stepped into our room we thought it was a bit small, but it turned out to be very comfortable, we were even able to open the window and have some fresh air :-). The sole use bathroom is off the landing, right next to the bedroom door and has original fittings including a claw foot bath, very much in character with the house. The location is fantastic, in a quiet street and in the centre of town, an easy walk to everything. Our delightful hostess provided a generous breakfast and even accommodated our early departure time, insisting we take her fresh home made muffins with us.

All good.

Loved the location and coziness of the B&B. Breakfast was so yummy and the host(ess) was friendly. Unfortunately, I was sick while there, but it was a great place to heal. Very comfortable and you could really sink into the place. Very calming meditative music is played in the living room at all times.

It seems the B&B is coming to the end of its years and is a bit worn for wear. I loved the retro elements, but it's clear that some improvements would need to be made to maintain it. Also, be careful with talking about politics of any kind. It's Alberta, after all, and some are prone to believing in conspiracies and adopting extreme views it seems. Also be aware when booking that while you may get a private bathroom, it may not be ensuite.

Karin is instantly welcoming and her exceptionally clean and cosy b&b is authentically Canadian. Breakfast is plentiful (the muffins deserve a separate review - you won't taste better ones anywhere) and the rooms have lots of thoughtful touches including the best smelling moisturiser ever and the comfiest bathrobe. While other accommodations in Banff clearly take advantage of tourist popularity to charge extortionate prices, Karin keeps hers low and fair. A fantastic place to stay.

Leaving !

My husband and I stayed here on the first part of our holiday. Karen was an amazing host, super friendly and helpful. The traditional Banff house was lovely with lots of character. Our room was comfy, and we instantly felt like we were at home. The breakfast was a great addition to our stay. Karen makes homemade muffins every morning and was kind enough to allow us to take some breakfast items for lunch also. We would highly recommend this accommodation. My husband and I will definitely be back.

There was nothing we didn't like about this place.

Everything, Karen our hostess was just amazing, helpful with suggestions of where to go, the most amazing breakfast and suggested we take leftovers for lunch and invited out daughter who was living in Banff over to have breakfast with us every day. Just an amazing stay. Couldn't speak highly enough of this stay. Location was just off the main street. Exceptional value for money

I booked this B&B because of the high rating score and reasonable price. I experienced hospitality even before I arrived. My plane’s original scheduled landing was after the check-in hours. I forgot to contact the host before my departure! The delayed arrival made things worse. Karin actually initiated the conversation and asked about my whereabouts. She kindly waited for me and opened the door at a very, very late hour. Don’t make the same mistake as mine. Karin baked fresh muffins daily. My first day was blueberry muffins. The second day was raspberry. The third day was apple. Karin offered to pack muffins and other things for lunch. Should this place be called bed, breakfast, and lunch? She actually packed food for me to eat in the airplane. This place is quiet and yet conveniently located near the town center and wonderful restaurants. Only two minutes walk to the ski bus stop for both Sunshine and Lake Louise. I highly recommend this place!!

I recently stayed at the Holiday Lodge Banff and felt right at home. The room was nice and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The location is great, close to all the restaurants. Karen, our host, was superb. She took great care of us, offering fantastic recommendations for places to eat and drink, and must-see sights. To top it off, she made us a delicious breakfast every morning. Highly recommend this cozy lodge for a memorable stay in Banff!

Great location, great host, and the breakfast is really good. Home-made muffins with eggs!! I missed breakfast a few times because I was out for a conference (which also served breakfast), Karen packed the muffins for me which I then could eat for lunch. Also, one was allowed to pack a small lunch to take with you for the day. These extra services make this a great place/bargain. Great!

Karin is a super host! Very acoomodating and friendly. She gave us lots of tips and suggestions for our outdoor activities as a local and she suggested many real good restaurants. The breakfast was plentiful and we couldn't finish all the food so we packed sandwiches and muffins for our hikes. All the restaurants are just few minutes away. And there's a grocery store down the street. Can't beat the location.

The bathroom is big however the shower curtains make the space in the tub a bit tight. More hooks in the bathroom and bedroom would be great
