Amazing host with the best breakfast we have had so far (yummy waffles and muffins!). Great location!

Stayed in June 2022

Our room was quite small, but manageable for a 3 night stay.

Our stay at Holiday Lodge was extremely good. It is well-located within each walking distance of Downtown Banff and there was space to park our car on site. Karin is an excellent host and was very helpful Iin providing help and advice on places to visit and on local restaurants. Before we left, she advised us on places to stop along the Icefields Parkway. Her breakfasts are excellent, with plentiful food, and her muffins are as legendary as previous reviews suggested. She also provides bags so that you can take any uneaten food with you. We would highly recommend a stay at Holiday Lodge.

The breakfast was ON point! Blueberry muffins fresh from the oven every morning, together with a variety of cheese and charcuterie.

The hostess is so helpful and gave us loads of tips and information on what to do in Banff and for the rest of our trip up to Jasper and Lake Louise! Delicious breakfast and the bed was super comfy! Would definitely stay there again when we come back to Banff.

The muffins are just the best! Karin has been a super host and gave us all the great camping and hiking tips and ideas around the area! Thanks Karin, I miss your muffins already! =]

I strongly recommend staying here, it really feels like a home away from home right in the heart of Banff. Karin is so friendly and accommodating with an unrivalled local knowledge.

A little gem of a place. The manager is friendly, attentive and will provide excellent local knowledge for you to get the most out of your trip.

The shower could have a little bit more pressure and it was difficult to set the temperature right.

Our host was simply amazing and made sure to tend to all our needs.

Parking needs somewhat skill, a bit tight if you had a bigger vehicle.

Breakfast was above excellent and location was too

Everything was really great, Karin is a really great host, she has so many insider information about the area. and her breakfast is just great, every morning fresh homemade muffins and really good bread. We had a wonderful time at holiday lodge.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Our host, Karin, was the sweetest most thoughtful human. We were so grateful to have her as someone to ask about recommendations for the town of Banff. Everything was set up above and beyond and we didn’t need anything extra. We felt so special every time we came home. Our beds were re-set and room was tidy. The beds were so cozy. Karin’s dog, Tenya, was the sweetest dog and one of the highlights of the home. We felt so comfortable and safe and welcome. We loved it so much and cannot say enough good things.

Great breakfast and host was available for any type of questions or needs. Room was size to be expected for a bed and breakfast.

This place is amazing. The room was like being at home. The breakfast couldn't bee better it has everything you could ask for to start your day. The host was so friendly and helpful.

Just a suggestion that it will be good to change the shower dials (takes time to get the water temperature right so a lot of water is wasted down the drain) and build a proper size tub (i’m 5’4 and the shower head is only another head above me) so that those who are 5’7 and up or a bigger person can be comfortable. It didn’t bother me that much still a 10/10 experience but would be good to do a mini reno during the months without any guests to save water for the future.

Karin was nice and very welcoming. She prepared delicious charcuterie board for breakfast every morning that I was also able to make prosciutto sandwich for lunch on the skill hills. The whole place is a vibe I cannot stop looking at all the unique decorations. Location (behind IGA and 2 blocks away from 2 different ski shuttle pickup points) and price cannot be beat. Although the house is old (floors and doors creak) it was very clean without any cobbwebs in the corners or moldy smell from sheets. Fast wifi and a hot/cold drinking water dispenser right outside the room.

We wished we could have stayed an extra night!

Our hostess, Karen, was very engaging and it was a pleasure chatting with her. She prepared a wonderful breakfast with the highlight being freshly baked blueberry muffins. They were amazing! Location is perfect with numerous restaurants in walking distance. We dined at Touloulous and enjoyed some very tasty creole cooking.

Everything was great and our stay was absolutely pleasant. Our only constructive feedback would be that it would have been great to have a single handle shower faucet that is easier to adjust the water temperature. The two handle faucet was a little tricky or maybe we just could not figure how to adjust it easily. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend this place!

Home-made and freshly baked muffins, three to four different kinds of cheese, prosciutto, eggs, coffee, butter, home-made jam and many more!! The breakfast is absolutely FABULOUS! The location is amazing and the host is super helpful. She went through the entire map of downtown Banff and informed us about lots of restaurants and bars, gave us very useful tips for our trip to Lake Louise, and she even lent her snow grippers to us for climbing up the Tunnel Mountain. She provided us extra pillows and blankets and she made sure we had everything we needed. If we visit Banff again in the future, we would definitely love to stay here.

Not something we didn't like but something to keep in mind when booking - the house is old (1911, from what I remember) and the house has definitely kept it's charm and some updates but keep expectations reasonable for a house that age and you'll be golden.

I almost don't want to say how much we liked it here so that it stays off the radar! Holiday Lodge is within walking distance of the main strip of Banff but far enough away that it's not too loud in the evening. Breakfast was great in the morning and we enjoyed Karin's freshly baked muffins (and took the leftovers with us to snack on). Great price for a hidden gem.

This home was cosy and comfy, same for my bedroom, host was very attentive, and breakfast was awesome! Met the other guests in the living room, everyone was super nice. Finished with skiing at Louise, it was a perfect 24 hours. I'll be back!

This place is close to everything in downtown Banff. Karen, the manager, goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is memorable. Breakfast is super delicious, and I loved all the personal touches in the inn.

The included breakfast was so wonderful - and she sent us away with the freshly-baked muffins we didn't eat for our drive home.
