Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Glacier Mountaineer Lodge offers well-equipped suites, many with balconies perfect for enjoying morning coffee and mountain views, especially those facing the ski hill. The location is ideal for exploring Yoho National Park and attractions like Emerald Lake, though it's a short drive (7 miles/12 km) outside Golden. Guests appreciate the convenience of amenities such as full kitchens with a fridge, microwave, coffee machine, stove, oven and washer and dryer, though some have noted that certain rooms could benefit from some updating or air conditioning. The peace and quiet of being at the base of the ski mountain is usually more appealing than Golden town.

Fantastic Mountain Stay

spacious suiteski hill viewconvenient storegreat room layout
Our two bedroom suite faced the ski hill. It was spacious with a great layout. The balcony was a perfect spot for morning coffee and mountain views. The convenience store on site was very useful.
Dining
8/10
There is a restaurant available, though it keeps somewhat unusual hours. The hotel itself does not operate a restaurant, a minor inconvenience. You can find frozen meals that you can heat in your room's microwave for quick meals.
Location
9/10
The lodge is situated away from the city center, atop a mountain. This offers lovely views. The quiet natural surroundings are excellent for relaxation and the ski-in and ski-out access is convenient.
