We paid $135CAD a night and were really happy with the room - not modern but nicely done and very clean. View over the river was beautiful, especially with so much snow and ice everywhere. Location is brilliant which is why we booked it, 5 min walk to main street, bus, train etc. The buffett breakfast included in our price... more

A Group of 11 of us stayed at the Bow View for 7 nights in January 2008. We got a great deal and expected very basic accommodation but we were pleasantly suprised !! The location is great with everything in walking distance and the bus stop for the 3 ski areas about 2 minutes walk. The Hotel was clean and... more

What a lovely hotel. We also were pleasantly surprised. It had obviously been recently renovated. Our room overlooked the river and had a sofa , fridge and small balcony. All the facilities (bar, restaurant, safe deposit boxes) were at the sister hotel next door. It was lovely to hear the plaintiff noise of the trains as they blew their horns... more

We were on a road trip to Vancouver. We stopped in Medicine Hat for one night, Hinton for another night. Toured Jasper, and stopped in for one night in Banff to do more sightseeing. The hotel is much older and cheaper than its sister hotel, the Banff Park Lodge. If you don't mind the maroon carpeting, blue curtains this hotel... more

Everything is pricey within the park, and since we wanted to stay within the park, this was one of the most reasonable places we could find. The room was small, though very clean and adequate. No air conditioning, though probably not needed most of the time here. The motel in general could use some maintenance. Parking is rather haphazard. Internet... more

Stayed overnight here for a meeting next door at the Banff Park Lodge. We were upgraded upon check-in to a two-room suite. Very spacious and clean - two room suite had one room with two double beds and a table with chairs. The other room had coffee maker & fridge in room with a sofa bed and queen sized bed... more
