Had great time meeting old acquaintences.

Good hotel.

Pros: Close to the hospital, where we had an appointment. Rooms were clean and a good size. Met our needs.

Cons: You need to offer a few rooms that are designated as smoking rooms only. It's cold outside. I was not told that restaurants were closed when I made the reservation. It was a little expensive.

Great price, great staff, great location

Best place on Whyte Avenue.

Pros: I was in Edmonton for 5 nights, visiting a relative. The Varscona was an ideal place to stay, brilliant location for me on Whyte Avenue, and a real haven of peace. I had a great view from 5th floor room. Spacious room, very comfortable bed, could make tea and coffee in room. Staff all very friendly.

Cons: The restaurant and bar were closed during my stay, but actually that did get me out to Blowers and Grafton - very nearby.

A gem of a hotel in a great location.

Pros: Fabulous small hotel in terrific location. A real gem. I love how helpful the staff were: for example, on my request they put a kettle and a microwave in my room. It was possible to open a window. It was possible to completely adjust the temperature in my room to my liking. Within less than one block of the hotel were several restaurants which did take away. There was also a small convenience store and many charming boutiques.

excellent! with minor fixes. Cleanliness, friendly, attentive staff were a pleasure!

Pros: The front desk staff - Check in with Mat and check out with Rachel was exceptional. I was welcomed with a smile and everything explained well. Mat even charged my phone as I had forgotten my charger! Rachel was cheerful and pleasant in my check out. She provided me with two sets of directions for my destination. I additionally had passed two housekeeping employees and I apologize for not having names. One was a black woman who seemed to be a Supervisor and she was very friendly and kind as was the other employee who I believe was Asian. Truly wonderful people!

Cons: The coffee machine! While superior coffee (thanks!) - the machine needs better instructions. Or ones that you can see early in the morning. The machine is not intuitive so I wasted a perfectly good coffee pod as it swallows them up. Also the artificial \
