Hotéis perto de Whyte ave, Edmonton

I previously stayed here back in 1999. I remember the receptionist told me off when I got there because I did not prebook with a long lecture. This was in the days when you had to find a pay phone and ring and book, and Via Rail who normally arrive around 11 were in the habit of arriving sometimes a day late.   This time the complete opposite experience happened when had to suddenly detour to Edmonton after Via Rail informed those of us on board that Jasper had been evacuated due to fire and the train was stopping in Saskatoon before returning to Winnipeg. Finding free Wi-fi at a petrol station the bus stopped at for five minutes I was able to book a room (although it's a lengthy process the HI Canada site needs to cut this down for this sort of scenario). A lot of stressed people arriving at the hostel were in this situation having fled from Jasper or trying to work out what to do if on way, and the awesome female staff member on reception handled this busy situation extremely professionally and efficiently. She also helped out later that night whenever approached the receoptin desk with advice on which bus stop was closer or easier to get to, to catch a bus to Calgary (to get to Canmore/Banff (which were selling fast). She waited until the booking went through for the bus in case I had to work something else out before processing extending my stay at HI Edmonton another night so I could keep the same bed. The hostel itself is great, although a little utilitarian in decor like a lot of HI hostels f, but really who cares about that. Full length lockers in room to fit 90L backpack Great free Wi-fi (which was needed after bus and Via Rail not having any). Dorm bed (in mixed dorm) was very comfortable. It is in a residential neighbourhood on the southern side of the river but only a couple of blocks walk to a city bus to Southgate Transit Centre (local buses cost $3.50 by the way). Downtown stop for intercity buses, local bus stop even closer. Easy walk across the river on High Level Bridge (a few blocks north) to downtown. Supermarket close as well. You get free various flavours of Kelluggs Nutrigrain breakfast bars or porridge for breakfast. There's a games room with pool tables, a TV room, both of which no one used while I was there. A living room type thing (got used a lot), kitchen. Plenty of places to plug in and charge devices.

The location is very good and very quiet; the facilities, no slippers and toothbrushes, have no effect on me, I have always brought my own slippers and toothbrushes, there is no electric kettle, I use a coffee machine to burn, every time a cup; breakfast is not bad; room Really small, the bed is high, the price goes with the market; overall it is still.

Breakfast is a typical continental breakfast, but there are a wide range of fruits, dairy products and bread. The reception is very friendly and valet parking is very convenient. It is very close to Albert University Hospital and within walking distance.

The location is very good, thanks to the warm reception at the front desk, the service is very good, flexible adjustment according to the specific conditions of our stay, very considerate for customers. Seriously registering visitors to give people a sense of security. very satisfied.

Breakfast is $ 31 / person, and the restaurant service for dinner is good, but the taste is really average. An old store with a long history, the price is very close to the people at Fairmont level, the temperature of the pool is very good, it is recommended to try

Staff were amazingly friendly and helpful. I had arrived earlier than expected and I was able to check in right away. The King room had a great view of downtown Edmonton. I enjoyed the business lounge access with evening aperitifs, the view of the city from the lounge and it was amazing to watch the sunset in the evening. Having breakfast included in my room rates was a great addition to the booking as it was convenient for me. You can also watch the sunrise if you get to the lounge early enough to get a seat by the window while having your breakfast there.

The location of the hotel is not bad, the room is relatively large, each bed in the twin room is 1.5 meters, and parking is free. If it is not enough, it should be that the hotel is relatively old. Fortunately, the rooms are clean. In addition, North American hotels generally do not provide slippers, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Nothing else is lacking, overall satisfaction.

The hotel room IS a little dated, but our room was clean and comfortable. The AC system worked perfectly, the bed was a dream. On site covered parking was helpful. Cora's breakfast restaurant is attached to the hotel which is another winner for me. If you don't need fancy, this is the place to stay. Rob at the Front Desk was delightful - friendly, funny and helpful! I would book a stay here again

Well, the valet & front desk staff were cordial, the room was quite small with a weird sliding window between the sink & the bed, the special big ice they encourage you to order doesn't fit in any of the glasses provided in the room...the room service was hit & miss...the workout area was absolutely AMAZING though...world class... The lobby bar is quite crafty/cold in winter...almost everyone had their coats on...the bartender was excellent! All in all not good value for your dollar...

Hotel was nice, guy at the front desk during check in was a little bit rude but I think he was just having a rough night. Overall good stay though.
