Place to stay within walking distance of Greyhound bus?
Save

Flying in to Calgary and thought of staying in Calgary to catch bus to Vancouver. On surfing TA forums I saw suggestion to take Banff Airporter there and pick up bus from there. I may add a day to take day sightseeing trip whilte in Banff.

Any suggestions on places to stay that are easily accessible to Greyhound and day tour companies. Preferably in the $100 range.

As most properties are located close to or in the town of Banff, all aptions are really going to be about the same distance from the bus station, no more than a 5 to 10 minute walk.

Other considerations for your reference would include:

Bow View Lodge

Banff Park Lodge

Homestead Inn (all 3 of these properties are just 2 blocks from the bus station)

Thanks. Have booked with Mount Royal. Any thoughts on it?

Have added an extra day so will sightsee a bit. Some tours end mid-October. Wondering if any day tour company suggestions - interested in overview of area rather than riding gondola, sliding down glaciers, etc.

The Mount Royal is a lovely hotel situated in the heart of downtown, about a 10 minute walk from the greyhound station.

For tours that will still be operating, it highly depends on which dates you plan to arrive. Two companies to have a look at include Explore Rockies and Discover Banff tours.

Thank you - glad to.see endorsement of Mount Royal as fits budget. I also understand that Brewster bus from Calgary airport will let me off there. Will have a look at tour links as think Brewsters stop around Thanksgiving and I will be a week later. Will depend as well on weather and happy just to browse around town.
