I needed to be near friends at Ronald MacDonald House/Stollery Children's Hospital and this was a great location for it. I booked it because of good reviews here and because they had a $125 rate available online. I had to add another night to my stay and it was a bit of an unpleasant surprise when I checked out to... more

Great hotel. Great service. I had actually lost an expensive item when I was staying here - which was my fault entirely. I got in contact with the hotel - communication with the Varscona has been excellent, prompt, and very professional, and the Varscona even replaced my item, which was completely unexpected. That was above and beyond what I expected... more

We only stayed one night but we experienced first class treatment from we walked into the hotel. Looking at the hotel from the outside, we were not sure what to expect. But as soon as we walked into the lobby, we started to feel comfortable about our choice. Check in was fast and smooth. Our room was a bit small,... more

We have stayed at the Varscona numerous times and am always totally impressed with the service and the accommodations. The rooms are always beautiful and we thoroughly enjoy the wine and cheese in the evenings. On our last stay they went above and beyond anything we would expect. It was our anniversary and I asked if they had some sort... more

We spent two nights at the Varscona Hotel in Edmonton. The room rate was not outrageous but the room was not outrageous either. The kingsize bed was comfortable and had lots of pillows. The TV was small and the Bose clock radio was okay. Internet connection was good and the bathroom was big enough. The bath products were nice -Aveeda.... more

A comfortable hotel with friendly staff located within the bohemian/eclectic Strathcona area of Edmonton. The rooms are average, but comfortable. I was on the 6th floor, and it was quiet, even though my room was closer to Whyte Ave. My floor was in the midst of remodeling/painting, so the hallways were not great to look at, but the rooms were... more

Very pleasant small hotel in a lively part of Edmonton. This was our first trip to Edmonton and we thoroughly enjoyed the area especially the choice of restaurants and the Saturday morning farmers' market nearby. The rooms are nicely decorated, large king size bed. While not a high end boutique hotel, you don't feel that you are in a standard... more

I stayed at the Varscona for 5 nights for an interview in Edmonton (booked by my hosts). All of the staff were friendly, courteous and accommodating including the desk-, wait- and housekeeping staff. The room was very nice and well kept with a gigantic king sized bed; a fancy cabinet housing the tv, minibar, coffee maker and a set of... more

I was in Edmonton for four days in January. The Varscona hotel was very nice, clean, and had everything I expected and more. We had very cold weather in Edmonton these days (almost down to -40 C!), but the hotel and my room was warm. Because of the cold weather, it was also convenient to have a nice diner/restaurant downstairs.... more
