As first-time visitors to Edmonton & the Fringe Festival, we found the Varscona Hotel to be a fine place to stay. We spent four nights there, went off on other adventures for a few days, then returned to the Varscona for another three nights. We found the staff to be consistently friendly & helpful. During both stays, are rooms were... more

The Varscona has been my previous choice of hotel for Edmonton, great location off Whyte and superb staff. A hotel which I have had no hesitation to recommend to many people coming to Edmonton for the first time. How sad that on my latest trip I found the staff surly and abrupt from the moment my wife and I checked... more

We stayed for one night; the staff was great; the room was clean and very quiet; not special but very good for a night stay. We would stay again. more

My wife and I stayed at this hotel on Sept 26 - 27, 2009 and we were very impressed with what we got. The rooms were clean and relatively modern for such an older part of Edmonton. They have a nightly cheese and wine tasting for guests everyday except Sunday. Not a top of the line cheese and wine tasting... more

My husband and I needed to stay close to the Edmonton University Hospital and chose this hotel for that specific reason. The friendleness and helpfulness of the staff was unbelievable. After spending a tense day at the hospital it was great to walk into a room to hear the music softly playing, bed turned down and robes layed out on... more

We spent one night on our way to the Rockies. The room was satisfactory, beds were comfortable, bathroom clean. They had free wine tasting in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Just your basic continental stuff, but nice. Free internet too. Great location off Whyte with shop and restaurants. Free parking around the corner in a parkade. Very nice... more

We liked this hotel, great to have free internet, and parking (we stayed for 3 nights). It seemed we got the wheelchair accessible room? the bathroom was extra large, with a roll in-able large shower (see pictures). The free breakfast was basic, (no warm food), but enough selection to get us started for a day out in Edmonton. Lots of... more

Our first stop after a long "across the Pacific" flight. What a joy to find such a lovely hotel. We were so tired and the beds here were so comfortable. We'd stay again. Staff friendly, location terrific, very clean, large rooms, but the bed topped it off. Thanks to everyone we came in contact with. more
