Staying at this hotel was a total breeze—especially the complimentary shuttle to the airport in the morning, which made our departure stress-free.

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites University

Staying at the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites University in Calgary was a great experience overall.

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.

The Westin Calgary

Staying at The Westin Calgary was a great choice during my visit to Calgary—mainly because of the trust I have in the Marriott brand. The room was slightly compact, but perfect for solo travelers. What really stood out was the breakfast: both the buffet and à la carte options were delicious and well-prepared. On my last morning, I had an early flight, and the kitchen staff went the extra mile by packing a breakfast meal for me—such a thoughtful touch! The front desk team was also incredibly helpful and patient, taking time to explain each dish with genuine care. One minor note: the bathroom door doubles as the closet door, so when closed, it reveals part of the wardrobe inside—slightly awkward design-wise, but not a dealbreaker. Location-wise, it’s fantastic—walking distance to Chinatown and major shopping areas, just a short stroll from the light rail station, and only about 20 minutes by Uber to the airport (which makes sense given Calgary’s size). Overall, excellent service, convenient location, and top-notch amenities. I’d definitely book here again next time I’m in Calgary.

Staying at the Fairmont Palliser in Calgary was an absolute delight. Housed in a beautifully preserved historic building, the hotel exudes old-world charm from the moment you step inside. The lobby is grand and elegant, with intricate details that transport you back in time. My room was spacious, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable—especially the bed, which made for a restful night’s sleep. What really stood out was the location: just a short walk or quick transit ride away from downtown attractions, shopping areas, and restaurants. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help. From check-in to checkout, every interaction felt personalized and genuine. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of history, luxury, and convenience. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Calgary—this is more than just a place to stay, it’s an experience.
