We were on the 4. times here, and 3 different species the room learned. This year we even the same room as two years ago, and from the hotel there was a nice surprise in the form of a nice 'welcome back card' and some of the great delicious cookies. We had the suite with separate living and sleeping area and a small kitchenette. Equipped with a fridge, 2 stove burners, dishes, toaster, microwave. In the living area with sofa, armchair and fireplace, dining table with 4 chairs. Bedroom with two king size beds and tv. Free wi-fi and free ... car park. The fireplace wood was refilled daily. We felt here like at home. read more

The main building stands out in the hotel complex through its local architectural style out. The restaurant looks very Nobel and invites you to a abendbesuch a. What about the hotel positive remarkable is the distribution of the individual room respectively small house on a whole complex.

    The rooms are huge and are equipped with a fireplace. Although I consider the idea of a fireplace in the bedroom very romantic, however not practicable. I would even advise against these to use, because afterwards the whole room after smoke smells. The beds are very big and also very comfortable. Particularly the bathroom stood out, you had a lot of space available and it is very tastefully decorated. In front of the room you could it comfortable, would not be there not the mosquitos. A disadvantage at our room was late noise the train, which one at night heard.

    When checking out in the main building we could a view of the breakfast buffet throw, it did almost already sorry that we the restaurant didn't visit. The buffet was very nicely arranged and had a large assortment. There the price for breakfast very high, we decided to stay in the village of cheaper to breakfast. So if you an extensive breakfast in a beautiful ambience allow and the price no parent role, I would the buffet recommend

    The hotel lies somewhat above from banff town, here you can the nature, and is located not in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the village. On foot you can easily in about twenty minutes the village of reach for something to eat or in the shops to go. Also a bus drives halfhourly in the village, for approximately two Dollar you can comfortably be mobile.

A beautiful place to stay just outside of Banff. We were thrilled by the location and the nice, large and with much love furnished rooms. We had breakfast in the hotel (buffet for 14 can &). The breakfast was really great. There was nothing missing. Also the breakfast area in the lodge style is fantastic. We can absolutely recommend this hotel! read more

Typical Canadian lodge, lots of wood in the room. Windows a bit small; lighting dim, reading was almost impossible. Definitely a room as they were not premium on the street. The hot tube (outdoor swimming pool) was only lukewarm, not to use. Good breakfast buffet and dinner. The quality of the service depends on the staff (I think: mostly seasonal). About 20 minutes walk to Banff (downhill or uphill back). read more

Rustic Wohnalage , village character. Rustic decor in wood with its own fireplace, wood, balcony. You may take it with the cleanliness not so exactly, dusty plaster lying on pipes, all something musty. For 1 or two nights OK. At check-out was presented a bill on us $110, was probably a room mix-up. A clarification was only after a long debate possible. Is a long way out, to expensive restaurant, not used. read more

We booked a ski vacation in banff to a couple of days in the Buffalo mountain lodge used. The hotel is simple gorgeous, from the location, from the rooms, the service, from the food. It is located a little bit out of town of banff, this in a quiet location, but you can good by bus or with a car to the center. Also the bus stop for the bus in the ski resorts is located exactly opposite the hotel. The rooms are cozy, rustic style with a balcony and a fireplace, however not really functioned. Wood for the fireplace ... was daily provided. The hotel consists of many individual buildings, the on the grounds spread, restaurant and reception in the main building, in addition to a cosy bar at the fireplace. The service was extremly friendly and accommodating. The food, no matter wether breakfast or dinner, was simply great, but it has also its price, therefore we didn't had eaten each evening there. The breakfast was with us included in the price and it was really the best, let alone the sight. Not simply a breakfast buffet, you could from the menu, which one wanted. Especially the egg benedict were my favorites, but we have i've tried everything. There are local dishes, including caribou and wild salmon. Everything very well prepared. The restaurant is really comfortable and nicely furnished, exactly like the bar outside. Canadian logs. The wine list offers a good deal, american, canadian, european wine, so that the good food also a good wine can. read more

The hotel is located about five minutes drive outside of Banff. It is made up of several small buildings, in most of these four rooms. The rooms were big enough, had a balcony and two queen-size beds. Furthermore, there are two chairs and a great fireplace, which we used every evening. Romantic evening in front of the fireplace or to read. The fireplace has been prepared, even 'inexperienced' fireplace users got used to it. It is a very cozy restaurant, where breakfast was served. We paid for a breakfast included taxes 25 CAD per person. The standard of food is ... also open very good, but not cheap. The main courses are at 24-50 CAD and taxes so. There is a heated Jacuzzi, which we didn't used, a steam sauna. This but we also didn't visit, as the showers on at our time renovated. Wi-Fi access can be used free of charge. Free parking is available on-site. The staff is very friendly. All in all the hotel is comfortably furnished and highly recommended. read more

Very cozy lodge a bit outside the town of Banff, per lodge four lots. two queen size beds, open fireplace with wood and two armchairs, fly screens, tv in the closet, small balcony. In the restaurant we were not, have used only breakfast (recommended). There is a hot tub in the middle of the complex. Room if possible not facing the street, was quite busy. Banff very nice for strolling and shop. There is a great steak house (saltlik), on a side street, a must! The best ice cream places in the world is very expensive, but it was really ... good ☺ read more

The quality of the food and drinks was excellent, the portions very plentiful. Next to international wines are also offered wines from Canada. Great is that breakfast offered until 11 .30am. The restaurant is cozy, everything made a very clean and neat impression. On the menu are first and foremost local dishes, halibut, steak, Caribou and deer. The rates are not cheap, especially considering the on the map PROVEN prices no tax and gratuity include. The food was superb, but at all times the price just costs.

    The place Banff is about 3 minutes drive away. Walking distance is about a 15 minute walk. For us it was the first accommodation in Canada after we entered our from Calgary international airport. About 2 hour drive from Calgary to Banff was not a problem. The wonderful landscape allowed each tiredness musically inclined go away. Despite long haul flight so if you not in an airport or city hotel, if you want to stay are these two hours drive to Buffalo Mountain Lodge highly recommended. The hotel itself is shortly after a branch CONNECTOR from the tunnel Mountain Road, the tunnel mountain drive. After Banff webpage, we are convinced the with the Buffalo Mountain Lodge we had made the right decision. Banff itself seemed to us because of the large number of tourists and the not insignificant traffic with numerous tourist buses around a bit too lively. Close by, at the junction of the tunnel Mountain Road there was a small supermarket where you could buy the essentials. In Banff, and a few kilometers away, there are all the shops for the day-to-day needs as well as for the shopping pleasure. Excursion possibilities there were natuarlly incredibly many. Next to the town of Banff, the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, you should really visit, a ride on the VERMILLION Lakes scenic drive and the Mount Norquay scenic drive a must. Just as nice a ride to the nearby Lake Minnewanke. These are just a few of the many excursions, next to a great amount of hiking opportunities.
