Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The room was cozy and clean. I liked the scenic painting as well. The soap, and shampoo was pleasant too. I would have liked it if they had tea in the room.
The only thing I thought might be a problem was the train noise but it ended up not bothering me at all. I think I was so tired after all the hiking.
Situation dans Canmorre. Propreté et calme. Simplicité d'accueil et parking. Vraiment bien équipé.
Location
Car parking and room cleaning service not available even though we stayed 3 nights
Localização muito boa, próximo a supermercados. Boa máquina de café que no segundo andar. Cozinha dentro do quarto atende bem às necessidades.
Fiz uma reserva para 3 pessoas: eu, minha esposa e minha filha de 2 anos. Ao chegar no quarto, notei que só havia utensílios de cozinha (pratos, copos, tigelas, talheres) e toalhas para 2 pessoas. Voltei à recepção para solicitar um kit extra. Fui atendido por um homem que se mostrou bastante irritado, afirmando que o quarto no qual eu estava era somente para 2 pessoas, que eu não deveria estar ali, como se a culpa fosse minha por ter escolhido aquele quarto específico. Eu expliquei a ele que fiz a reserva pra 3 pessoas, via Booking.com. Ele então disse que os sistemas internos do hotel e o Booking não conversam muito bem, que o Booking jamais deveria ter alocado um grupo de 3 pessoas naquele quarto. Que se eu quisesse reclamar, deveria entrar em contato direto com o Booking, que então ligaria para eles para admitir que estavam errados. Acredito que quem me atendeu estava nervoso por entender, equivocadamente, que eu estaria exigindo uma cama extra para minha filha. Por fim, após uma conversa absolutamente desnecessária e que me deixou bastante frustrado com o hotel, consegui os itens extra de cozinha e banheiro para a minha filha.
Clean. Great location.
There is a railway just behind the lodge, so it's very noisy when the cargo train passes. Also, surprisingly there is no breakfast! The staff was not very helpful, whatever we asked we got not much help!
Struttura pulita e molto comoda per la posizione
Personnel super sympa et serviable, équipements et emplacement super
Very clean room and a spacious living room with coffee and tea
It’s close to the railway and the noise of train is clear
Die Zimmer waren sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Im TV war ein Kaminfeuer eingeschaltet. Wirklich süß gemacht. Das Personal ließ uns sehr lange im wirklich schönen Aufenthaltsraum auf unser Zimmer warten. Die Geimschaftsküche war super. Allerdings wäre Geschirr und Besteck sehr hilfreich gewesen. Lage konnten wir nicht wirklich testen. Da wir nur 1nacht dort waren. Geschäfte und Restaurants sind in der Nähe. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Langes Warten auf s Zimmer Keine Küchen Ausstattung
Big room with a fireplace and views of the mountains. Staff was very helpful in showing us places to go with directions. Although we had to climb some steps, the room was close to parking and also walking distance to many restaurants and sights.
Ran out of hot water two times for our party of three. Expensive for the room and value but Canmore is expensive and we did book last minute. Also, there is a train that runs behind the room that didn't bother us. Good windows and earplugs provided, which we didn't need.
Comfortable rooms and very clean. Staff helpful.
Our room was right next to a railway line and the trains continue throughout the night. Despite a comfy bed this made sleep extremely difficult
Nice and comfortable room. The hotel is at the walking distance from the Main Street. We had a good time in Canmore.
The windows face a parking lot and a road. There was a small balcony outside of our room but it's not inviting to sit there.
The sauna was awesome
Noise above room and in hallway due to guests
Een gedeelde gezellig ingerichte zitruimte met een keuken met een koffie/thee machine en ijsmachine. Schoon. Loopafstand van het centrum. Gratis parkeren voor de deur.
Langs een treinspoor, echter niet heel frequent treinverkeer.
Great location, very comfortable rooms. Didn’t hear the trains as other reviewers mentioned.
A bit functional, the less contact the better etc.
Lage
Kein Lift und kein Personal, welches behilflich ist, für ältere Gäste nicht unbedingt zu empfehlen
no view that i was promised
The room is spacious and clean. Staff are friendly.
There’s nothing i don’t like about the property but Canmore is a bit far from everything 😅 and is a quiet town with nothing much to explore. The property itself is excellent!
Great location, great staff, great start of the trip!
Spacious rooms, comfortable communal area
Noise from Railway No kettle in room
Nothing
Bad location. The hotel locates right next to the rail tracks. The train runs overnight, it wakes me up.
Everything was great! Excellent location, clean, super friendly staff. No complaints.
Nothing
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Basecamp Lodge. We requested the honeymoon celebration package which was very cute. The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious, the bathroom was clean, the shower had really great water pressure, and we enjoyed the use of the smart tv to sign into our own Netflix account. The place seems very secure and we had our own code to get into the room instead of a key card which was nice. Staff were very friendly. It is a close walk to the downtown Canmore strip. We could control our own climate which was also nice. Our only very small complaint was that there a few very wet spots on the carpet that never seemed to go away. We thought it might have been cleaning products but they never dried so we think they may have been some kind of leak. It was a not a big issue just slightly annoying as we kept accidentally stepping on them with socks on.
The room was comfortable, warm, clean.
A bit expensive but we know the place is very central and there is a lot of request.
Location, cleanliness
Not having microwave and electric kettle in the room
Cleanliness. Easy check in / out. Good location
None
Have the basic needs. Room is good.
Our first night stay had some issues, shower water is not warm enough, feeling cold and around midnight, the fire alarm woke us up because the battery was low. The second night was okay.
Apartment hatte alles um glücklich zu sein. Sehr sauber. Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Vollausgestattete Küche. Parken war kein Problem. Lage zum Supermarkt und zur Stadt. Sehr guter Komfort. Kostenlose Heißgetränke oben in der Lobby.
Preis ist schon etwas hoch. Sauna wurde nicht richtig warm.
Lekkere koffie
Dicht bij de treinstation
Comfortable bed. Shower flow was excellent
Trains being near the track what else would you expect
Enjoyed our stay at Basecamp Lodge. The staff was friendly and courteous. The location is perfect! Walking distance to the popular Bagel shop (next door). The room was well appointed with two very comfortable queen beds. We could hear the train in the distance but it wasn’t distracting or bothersome. It never kept us awake. (The hotel kindly provided earplugs, just in case). The hospitality area had a fancy coffee, tea, cappuccino, etc machine, an ice machine, a tea kettle with various types of teas and a microwave. The room has a refrigerator and a coffee maker. We would’ve loved to have a microwave in there too. The shower was strong and invigorating with nice bath products. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The next time we’ll try the Basecamp Resort next door. It has a hot tub on the third floor (no elevator, steps are outside). A word of advice: if you have trouble climbing stairs, request a room on the first floor. There are no elevators.
Comfortable place, kind staff welcoming us, good shower, spacious room, nice brewery to eat just actoss the street. Trains you could totally hear but didnt bother us!
Aircon we couldnt adjust
Location
Lå super centralt og fint stort værelse
Der skal lige nævnes at togbanen er lige bagved og der køre godstog især om natten og de er meget lange. Men der er ørepropper på værelset.
Excellent location
Na
Large room with a comfortable bed. Clean with great staff. It is close to the town and river. NExt to the railroad tracks, so train noise even though ear plugs were complimentary.
No breakfast, great location to visit Banff and Canmore. Walking distance to downtown Canmore
Cost. All the hotels around the area are expensive because of the busy season but I would not normally pay that much for it elsewhere. Staff was helpful
Great location
Great location, solid amenities, nice kitchen & shared space option
Parking a bit tight but manageable
The property was a good distance to downtown and offered parking. The rooms were very clean and well kept.
The hotel is next to the railroad tracks making it hard to sleep if you are a light sleeper. We also had no hot water after one person showered so had to space things out between evenings and mornings. It should also be noted there is no elevator so request the lower level if needed for accessibility.
wifi was not working
My friends and I stayed at Basecamp Lodge Canmore during our trip to the Canmore area. The location was great and incredibly walkable. The rooms were clean, but the pillows were a bit worse for wear. We were there only for one night, so it was fine overall. The only complaint we had was with the shower curtain. It was on its last legs and kept pooling in the middle, which made showering difficult because we needed to continue to adjust it and water kept pooling outside the shower.
お部屋に入った瞬間、大きな画面に暖炉の様子が映し出されていて、本当の薪が燃えているような音がパチパチと流れていて、そのムードがとても良かったです。 お部屋は広く清潔で、インテリア、照明などがモダンで居心地が良かったです。 部屋にはキッチンはありませんでしたが、共用スペースで使うことができたので、部屋で夕食を取ることもできました。
施設自体の居心地は大変満足でした。 Booking.comから予約したのですが、そちらのアプリ内からのメールでプリチェックインの案内が来て、リンクからチェックインできると案内があり、早速しました。 そこで、個人情報などを入力し、送信してしまった後に、Booking.comから、個人情報などは入力しないように、とのメッセージが入っていることに気がつきました。 最近リンクに飛ばせて情報を盗む詐欺などが発生しているためです。 私がリンク先から個人情報を送った後、アプリ内のメッセージやり取りの画面では受付完了、の返信がないままの状態が続いたので、 自分が送ったリンク先は大丈夫だったのか?と とても心配になりました。 結果的には何も問題はなかったのですが ドキドキ心配したのだけが残念でした。

Train but it was not loud at all.
냄새나지않는 점은 감사했다
침대구석구석 먼지 페인트칠 벗겨진 욕조 고장난 냉장고 물이나 슬리퍼없음 기차소리는 귀마개로 극복안되는 치명타 정말 시끄럽습니다 ㅠㅠ
Clean
Great location! Right in the middle of canmore. Lots of restaurants all around. Banff only 25 min to the east. Great location for hikes like Ha Ling and Grassi Lakes. No breakfast, no pool, no hot tub all known by us because we read the amenities. However there is also no outdoor seating which is kind of a bummer since you are surrounded by beautiful mountains but unable to sit outside and enjoy them. Otherwise very clean, friendly helpful staff.
Overall it is a good stay if you travel to Banff. Room was comfortable, shower was strong and bathroom had nice products. There is a coffee machine in the room, also a common area with some kitchen supplies (coffee machine didn't work there). They also have a sauna, we didn't have a time to use it. The hotel is close to cafes and some hikes in Canmore.
A train tracks are behind this hotel and you can heart trains at night with window open, but it didn't bothered us so much after a long day (earplugs provided). Parking spaces are tight and overall parking is small, but looks like it is enough for all guests. But if you have a big car, inform a hotel I guess or choose different one.
地點好,服務人員親善
一切都好
The location was great! The staff were super friendly and the bed was comfortable
I was kind of upset. We've stayed at this location twice previously and love our room stay and everything. This time we were in town for a friends wedding and my birthday so we decided to spend a little more money on a room to upgrade. The unfortunate part was the quality of the room went down even though we paid more. The shower situation was ridiculous a half glass wall which stopped 0 water from getting out so the bathroom floods everything time you take a shower. There was water damage on the walls due to that. The water pressure was so bad I had to go to my friends hotel to wash the conditioner out of my hair. As well as being placed in a front of hotel room on the ground floor so we couldn't have our windows open because on multiple occasions people came looking through our window. So it was a disappointing experience. Will Be more skeptical to book in the future.
Propre bien situé
Bruit voie ferrée juste derrière, pas de ménage durant les 4 nuits passées, caution de 150 dollars au delà du séjour
The room was spacious and comfortable. My husband is still talking about the fabulous shower! The staff was professional, friendly, and helpful. The hotel is located conveniently enough to be able to walk to the center of town.
Friendly staff, common area, and free decent coffee
Bathrooms were ok, not bad but if there was any place for improvement maybe those
We love the room we stayed for 4 of us (a family with 2 adults sons). Spacious & clean. A bit noisy when the trains passed-by, but it is ok with us. We like to sit on the "common lounge" with beautiful view, complete with a microwave, coffee machine and sink to wash our dishes. There are a few restaurants next door. The staff is also helpful whenever we inquire something.
Nothing
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and wanted to share a few suggestions that could have made the experience even better. * A hot tub on the property would have been a wonderful addition and would further enhance the guest experience. * The bathroom amenities were excellent. I especially appreciated the quality soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. One item that was noticeably missing, however, was body lotion. I ended up having to go out and purchase some, so including lotion as part of the standard amenities would be a thoughtful touch. * Sara and Joseph were very kind, friendly and extremely helpful with directions and suggestions. * The location is good and connected well to a bus service close by to Banff (Roam no 3 ) within a walking distance . * Restaurants and grocery stores are all close by too.
* As there are no elevators available, assistance with luggage for guests staying on the second floor would be greatly appreciated, particularly for those with mobility concerns or heavier bags. * We asked for room cleaning as we had stayed for 4 nights...and they came, but did not replace the 3 towels for 3 guest...they only left 2 towels. *They didn't even bother to take away and replace the dirty glasses ...they just left them in the room sitting there dirty. *The shared kitchenette lacked any plates or cutlery...what do you eat in or heat your food in ? *The shower had great pressure and hot water but left a horrible puddle in the bathroom and the bath mat had to be squeezed every time one of us had a shower. * We had a king suite which had a king bed and a sofa bed too .the sofa bed was lumpy and uncomfortable and the springs could be felt when you slept on it. * The constant noise of the train was quite disturbing when you wanted to sleep.
Hotel cerca del centro del pueblo y de zonas de restauración. La cama muy cómoda. Tienen una zona de estar con chimenea muy agradable
The hotel has a great location, with supermarkets, gas stations, and many restaurants nearby.
It would be even better if an electric kettle could be provided.
Very clean and comfortable. A rustic mountains feeling.
A bit pricey.
Beautiful room and liked the sauna
Under the sink edges was dirt that fell away as I splashed water around the sink.
Great place to stay. Would go place there in a heart beat. Nice kitchen set up and very clean. Staff were very nice.
Location was great, room was very clean! Hotel staff were pleasant and helpful
Wish breakfast was included
Room was great, loved the common room with the coffee maker. Cappuccino every morning! But the absolute highlight was Julie at the front desk. Charming and full of great suggestions and useful information, she really helped us navigate Canmore, Banff and our trip to Lake Louise. Thanks for everything Julie!
Joseph at the front desk was very helpful.
The parking was tight.
Unfortunately, our stay at Basecamp Lodge in Canmore was very disappointing. The bathroom was extremely unhygienic upon arrival: hair everywhere on the floor and in the shower, as well as a heavily soiled toilet with urine on the toilet seat and even on the floor. After we complained, the bathroom was only cleaned superficially. During our entire two-night stay, there was also no room service at all. Even at checkout, apart from a brief “sorry,” there was no serious response. Absolutely unacceptable for the price and the expectations.
The shower, it has a partial glass wall but the actual shower head has a flow that can’t be adjusted. The entire bathroom including the bathroom sink and the toilet gets sprayed on and soaking wet. The bathroom walls are already warped.
Everything
Parking spots are very narrow. Very few spots for large SUV or pickup trucks.
Personal freundlich, hilfsbereit. Zimmer waren sauber.
Absolut schlechte Lage des Zimmer‘s. Erdgeschoss, jedes Auto fuhr direkt an 3 Fenstern vorbei. Jeder Gast der ausstieg konnte ins Zimmer schauen. Ständig lauter Zug Verkehr. Einfach ein ganz schlechte Zimmer Lage.
Our stay at Basecamp Lodge in Canmore was absolutely amazing. Cozy atmosphere, beautiful mountain views, and such a relaxing place to unwind after exploring the Rockies. Everything felt warm, clean, and welcoming — we can’t wait to come back again.
Property was easy go get to. The room was clean . It’s by the railway. Train does go by within close proximity. But it wasn’t overly loud, and it was actually a nice sight to see the train travelling along the mountain background.
There is parking, but some spaces are tight.
Tolles Zimmer und gemütliche und gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsräume. Beste Unterkunft auf unserer Reise.
Everything location, cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff. Definitely would come again.
위치도 청결상태 모두 쾌적하고 훌륭했습니다~!
Room was very large, beds were comfortable & large, nice to have a balcony
No breakfast
The room and the view was okay.
The trash bin in the washroom still has trash in it maybe from the previous client. And also in the bed there’s some hairs that definitely doesn’t belong to us since we have black hairs.
Propreté Confort Accessible
Attente pour le Check in jusqu’à la dernière minute à 16:00
Beautifully new and clean accommodation. Great coffee freely available in guest communal area. Huge bed was very comfortable indeed. Fab bathroom, fridge too. Staff were super friendly.
My partner was too hot, especially at night. I was fine though, so personal preference.
Clean, big, comfortable bed and pillows. Friendly staff and great location. Close to great restaurants and nice view. Sauna included with your stay. Online check in and check out was smooth and easy
Nothing
The size of the rooms and the location of the property.
The size of the parking stalls.
도착 일정이 조금 빨리 도착해서 체크인을 했는데 데스크 직원분의 친절함과 바로 입실할수 있도록 편의를 제공해 줘서 너무 감사했습니다.
Easy check in process, clean, friendly staff.
I wish it was just a little closer to downtown, but that’s only because the weather was cold that day so on a warmer day it would not have bothered me one bit!
The parking is difficult with a bigger vehicle but the staff accommodates by reserving stalls specifically for bigger vehicles.
空間寬敞、乾淨
第一天入住洗澡發現沒有沐浴乳了
Location is great and accessible to all major roads and neighborhoods. Check in and check out process was seamless and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Room was great, exactly what you would expect of a good hotel room.
Functional, well placed, lovely staff, good facilities
Nothing
The room was very spacious and clean.
Check in and check out process was very smooth and hassle free. Great coffee machine, community space, super clean and nicely furnished room etc. The entire property felt very well lit and airy.
Parking space could be slightly bigger, also presence of a microwave in the room will be highly appreciated, as in the off season many restaurants close sooner or are closed, it will be easier to heat up ready to eat meals if needed.
Staying in Canmore instead of Banff was the right decision. We liked the town, 20min driving from Banff. Lodge was a great find. Would stay there again. Clean rooms, nice staff and free parking
Bathroom was a bit small.
Terrible stay- avoid. We stay in Canmore 10+ times a year. This was our first with Basecamp. What they don’t tell you is that they back onto the train track and the train runs on schedule every 30 minutes. So if you are facing the track don’t plan on sleeping. On top of it our unit was fully cleaned and we asked if we could check in 30 minutes early (checkin is 4pm). We had dinner reservations and were hoping to freshen up. It was a hard NO, the code switches at 4 and they don’t do early checkin. There were 5 other groups we could see waiting for 4pm even though the units were ready. We also didn’t know that there was a unit below ours and our kitchen was above their bed. Our first noise complaint was at 6:30pm when we came back post dinner from walking in. The second one was at 8pm as we sat at the dining table playing a board game. The person in the unit below was trying to sleep it was Good Friday so both a holiday and a Friday night. We were asked not to walk on the main floor kitchen/living room or make any noise. $550 for 1 night where we had to be quiet after 8pm due to their terrible layout and NO soundproofing. There are so many places in Canmore. Choose anywhere else.
