This hotel is located on the campus of the University of Calgary - about a 3 minute walk from the library. The "eurostyle" rooms are small, but clean and well designed. They include a microwave and bar fridge, desk, TV, full bath. Breakfast is included. There are various restaurants within a 10 minute walk, not to mention eating choices on... More

I stayed at the Hotel Alma on Fri. May 18/12 during the Otafest. The hotel was full, but amazingly very quiet at night. We stayed on the 5th floor at the end of the hallway in a Euro room. The room is small and only 2 people can stay in these rooms. Room ammenities are from the Bath and Body... More

The reviews of the hotel were what brought me to this hotel and for the most part they are true. However, there are a few glaring omissions that had I known them, as a business traveler, I would have steered clear. There is NO restaurant and NO bar in this hotel at night. There is a tiny little cafe that... More

I was in Calgary for business and found the Alma just the right place to which I could come home and relax. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, the rooms, though small, were well-equipped, and overall the cleaning staff did a good job (once they remembered that there was an occupant in my room!). I would recommend it... More

We recently stayed at Hotel Alma while attending a volleyball tournament in Calgary. This is our second stay at the hotel. Last time we stayed in a regular room which we found quite small so this time we stayed in a suite instead. It was much larger and had a separate bedroom with a king bed. The rooms are modern...

Stayed here during a recent conference at the University of Calgary. It looks like a revamped dormitory in its architecture, but has been repainted, and refitted to try to be nicer looking and more hotel-like. The rooms are upgraded dorm rooms so they can feel a bit tight. The double or queen size bed takes up a good chunk of... More

This is a great little hotel on the campus of the University of Calgary. You can take the C-train up from downtown (not too far, and about a 10-minute walk from the station) or you can drive and there's parking in an adjacent garage. Rooms are small, but fully equipped. VERY comfortable queen-size bed, good pillows, enough warm bedding. Desk... More

Needed a hotel for a wedding that was on the UofC campus, so this hotel was in a great location. There are also many nearby hotel/motels in Calgarys "motel village", but none that look half as nice and all for similar prices. Our room was a two bedroom suite, with a small kitchen and even smaller bathroom. This is not... More

The Hotel Alma ont he University of Calgary campus is an OK attempt to provide on-campus accommodation. It is OK but definitely not better than OK. They have converted some dorm rooms to look like hotel rooms. I was glad that I was there by myself and that my wife changed her mind at the last minute and did not... More

It was my first time at the Alma. The service was friendly. The hotel was clean and well kept. Obviously it's new. Rooms were rather small, especially for a city like Calgary. But they were well appointed with clean bathrooms. They were also very quiet with virtually no hallway or other room noises. It was annoying that you had to... More
