After spending 1 night here on our way to Jasper, our feelings are quite mixed. The setting is beautiful, we had the chance to spot a bear not far from the lodge and sweet hummingbirds just outside the reception; staff was friendly and gave us some good advice on where to have a walk to try to see some mooses...

We stayed for one night en route from Jasper to Whistler and having read previous reviews expected the average standard of sleeping accommodation, worn and tired might be a good description. If as indicated in a previous review, the rooms are being upgraded piecemeal, thats understandable. The welcome was good our main concern was the food. Average dinner but expensive.... More

Having been to Wells Grey before, but always in rush mode, we decided to stay a few days before travelling on to Vancouver. I needed to find a place of peace to recharge, so on a whim, we decided to stay at Helmcken Falls Lodge. What a treat! Our Welcome was fabulous and at first I wondered if this was... More

The hotel is situated in a beautiful scenery, with the Wells Gray Park just minutes away. The rooms were very basic and outdated. Service and dinner were ok. More

We had stayed here a while back in the winter, and thought it good value, so decided to try it in the summer. Front desk staff was very helpful and offered recommendations on hikes. Overall, 'deluxe room' was satisfactory, but contained only 2 double beds, washroom and small table with two chairs. There was no fridge, tv, phone, or any... More

We stayed here for two nights as part of our honeymoon in Canada. In all we stayed in 10 different hotels across West Canada, and this was the only bad experience we had. The rooms, while spacious and in a secluded location are extremely dated and basic. The bed linen looked as though it had been in service for 15... More

This is Canada. It's massive. It's wild. It's very natural. This is the quintessential back country Canadian style lodge. If you don't know what I'm talking about, but want to, stay here. If you come from the big city, and have never seen mineralized well water come out of a tap that is the color of brown (wow! Iron content!)... More

If you want friendly service, sound sleep, spectacular views, stimulating winter sports, and great food then we recommend Helmcken Falls Lodge. If you want city style hotels and all the city luxuries for soft people then you will not find this here - thank goodness. The lodge is just what you want in this type of location, personal, friendly and... More

There are so many bad reviews of this place that I hesitated before booking. But the location won through and I am glad that I stayed here. Yes the rooms are basic but our room was huge and nice and warm. We got a great deal including dinner (which was very nice and i am a fussy eater) and a... More
