Staying at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Calgary was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk from downtown and easily accessible by public transit. There are tons of restaurants and cafes nearby, so dinner options are endless. The hotel itself is clean, modern, and well-maintained.

Wicked Hostels - Calgary
The hostel recently moved to a new location, so the photos no longer match the current space—just keep that in mind when booking. The entrance might look a bit intimidating at first, but don’t hesitate to press the white button for entry. The staff were warm and welcoming, and there’s a great lineup of evening activities to join. We stayed in an 8-bed dorm—each bed had a small storage box for personal items, but no lockers for larger backpacks (a bit of a downside). Every bed also had two power outlets, which was handy. A curtain for the lower bunks would be a nice touch, and swapping one of the standard outlets for a USB port would be even more convenient. Towels are provided, and the bathrooms, dorms, and common areas are spotlessly clean. Free laundry is available if you stay over three days. Breakfast is included—lots of options like bread, butter, jam, Nutella, maple syrup, yogurt, fresh fruit, and a variety of juices. The kitchen has two stovetops and two sinks. Adding a compost bin in the kitchen area would be a sustainable upgrade. Wi-Fi is strong and reliable. Location-wise, it’s right in the heart of downtown: Prince's Island Park, Chinatown, Calgary Tower, and 8th Avenue are all within walking distance. Perfect for exploring on foot. Overall, great value, friendly vibe, and a solid choice for travelers looking for a social yet comfortable stay.
Calgary Connect
I booked this hotel through a platform and received a confirmation email, but when I arrived, the property was completely closed with no staff around. I reached out to the owner once, who promised to resolve the issue, but after multiple phone calls, I was ghosted with no follow-up or solution. I ended up having to sleep on the street because there was no alternative. This place is not just unreliable—it feels like a scam. If you’re looking for a safe, honest place to stay and don’t want to end up stranded, avoid this hotel at all costs. It’s not worth the risk, and the lack of accountability is shocking.
Hilton Garden Inn Calgary Downtown
My stay at Hilton Garden Inn Calgary Downtown was absolutely excellent. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the C-Train station, making it super easy to get around the city without needing a car. There are plenty of grocery stores, restaurants, and cafes nearby, so everything you need is within reach. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable, with a cozy bed that made for a great night’s sleep. I especially appreciated the indoor pool and hot tub—perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring. The staff were friendly and efficient throughout my visit. Overall, the value for money is outstanding, and I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Calgary. It’s a top pick for both business and leisure travelers.
Residence Inn Calgary Downtown/Beltline District
Staying at the Residence Inn Calgary Downtown/Beltline District was an absolute delight. The room was spacious and well-designed, offering plenty of comfort and a relaxed atmosphere—perfect for both short stays and extended visits. I especially appreciated having a full kitchenette with a refrigerator, which made preparing meals easy and convenient, especially when traveling with family or staying longer. The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from downtown attractions, shopping areas, and public transit, making getting around the city a breeze. On top of that, the complimentary fitness center and in-house laundry facilities were a huge plus, saving time and money. Breakfast was surprisingly diverse—classic Western options like eggs, pastries, and fresh fruit, but also a welcome touch of Chinese-style savory porridge, which added a nice cultural twist. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully curated. Excellent value, great service, and a truly comfortable home-away-from-home. I’ll definitely return.

I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Alt Hotel Calgary East Village—this place truly exceeded my expectations. The location is unbeatable: just a short walk from downtown attractions, shopping spots, and an amazing variety of restaurants. The hotel itself feels brand new, with a modern, sleek design and spotless cleanliness throughout. From check-in to check-out, the staff were friendly, professional, and always ready to help. My room was spacious, well-lit, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring the city. The bed was cozy, the bathroom had excellent water pressure, and everything felt high-end. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the local artwork and quiet, efficient HVAC system. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel offers a fantastic balance of style, comfort, and convenience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends.
