Hotels in BanffA traditional 3-star mountain lodge on Banff Avenue
8.1/10
A comfortable Banff base with useful extras, but dated rooms and no on-site dining.
Rundlestone Lodge is a traditional 3-star mountain lodge, and we'd pick it for practical comforts rather than fresh design. Expedia and Booking.com guests generally praise clean, spacious rooms and helpful staff, while recent Tripadvisor reviews reinforce its quieter setting. Free underground parking, local Roam bus passes, an indoor pool and a hot tub make it a strong base for families and mountain outings.
The trade-offs are dated decor, a roughly 15–20-minute walk to downtown dining, and no on-site restaurant or breakfast service. Choose your room carefully: the hotel says Standard rooms face the indoor pool and have windows that do not open, rather than outdoor views. The garage also has a low clearance. We'd skip it if modern interiors, breakfast downstairs or parking a tall vehicle are priorities.

Rundlestone Lodge is a traditional 3-star mountain lodge, and we'd pick it for practical comforts rather than fresh design. Expedia and Booking.com guests generally praise clean, spacious rooms and helpful staff, while recent Tripadvisor reviews reinforce its quieter setting. Free underground parking, local Roam bus passes, an indoor pool and a hot tub make it a strong base for families and mountain outings.
The trade-offs are dated decor, a roughly 15–20-minute walk to downtown dining, and no on-site restaurant or breakfast service.

Best for: families who want a pool; skiers and hikers; travelers happy to walk or use local buses
Watch out for: dated room decor; Standard rooms have inward-facing, sealed windows; no on-site dining; low garage clearance
Location: On Banff Avenue, roughly 15–20 minutes' walk from downtown; local Roam passes are included.
Rooms: Generally spacious and comfortable, but dated; Standard rooms overlook the indoor pool.
Cleanliness: A consistent strength across major guest-review sites.
Service: Mostly praised for friendly, helpful staff, despite some less positive individual experiences.
Amenities: Indoor pool, hot tub, modest gym and free Wi-Fi; no on-site restaurant or breakfast service.
Fees and surprises: Free parking is first come, first served; garage clearance is 6 feet 4 inches, and bus passes exclude Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon services.
