Top Varsity Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel & Conference Centre Calgary Airport, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Large room, clean, and quiet with affordable price! Live this hotel!"

Amenida Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is modest, but very clean. The staff are friendly and give you space, which I really appreciate. Check-in is quick, and if your room feels chilly, you can ask for an extra heater. I’ve never noticed any dirt during my stays here. I read some reviews expressing concerns about safety because there are homeless people nearby and the hotel is close to downtown. Personally, I felt comfortable walking through the parking lot, and no one bothered me."

Hotel Blackfoot

10/10 Excellent

"Very lovely property, excellent location sort of central south Calgary. We loved the extra amenities of the signature floor. The outdoor pool and hot tub are still under construction, and appear to be halted for a while past the original date to be ready. But if they ever do finish it, it looks like it will be an absolutely beautiful outdoor area with pool and hot tubs. Beds are super comfortable, evening turn down service. Very classy inside."
