Basic hotel. No frills. Polyester bedspread,basic bathroom, nothing fancy. We paid a weekend rate of $100/night and it is not worth a penny more. The location is good. Second Cup coffee shop in the lobby. Our room was super hot and we couldnot get it to cool down. Front desk sent up a fan which helped. Note: there was NO... More

My children and I stayed at this hotel, and had a terrible night! Party-goers hooping and hollering and slamming doors until close to 4am. And even worse, the adjoining door between our room and the one next to us was an inefficient sound barrier to the X-rated noises that could easily be heard coming(literally) from the couple in that room!!...

I stayed at the Varscona for two nights during a trip to Edmonton. I chose it because of it's location. I was on an early flight from Toronto and was grateful and pleased that I was able to check in upon my arrival at the hotel. My room was lovely, well appointed and clean. I appreciated the free wireless Internet.... More

I love staying at the Varscona when I get the chance. It is in the perfect location for a night out, and happens to be attached to the city's best Irish pub, as well as a lovely restaurant. The rooms have original art for the enjoyment of guests, and the bedding is high quality. Service is consistently excellent, and the... More

This was my second stay at The Varscona, and my husband's third or fouth stay. (We have been travelling back and forth to Edmonton for appointments.) Great location on Whyte Avenue with many eateries and shops within walking distance (The Continental Treat Cafe, Chapters, etc). It is easy to get downtown by public transit and equally easy to take car... More

My wife and I, along with our 2 kids ages 7 and 10 stayed at Varscona for 2 nights at the end of last September. We were really impressed and have no hesitation recommending it. Breakfast had an "At home" feel about it rather than a hotel feel. The pre-dinner drinks and cheese were a really nice touch and again... More

The Varscona is in a great location. Close to shopping, restuarants, pubs, clubs, and the University Hospital. We were in one of the corner rooms facing Whyte and I was surprised by how soundproof it was, we couldn't hear the partiers coming out of the bars at 2am or the traffic. I especially liked the complimentary valet service. The rooms... More

This is a great hotel. It is right on Whyte Avenue and offers great access to shopping, restaurants and pubs. The wine and cheese nightly event, and continental breakfast in the morning truly add to the value. The beds are comfortable and the hotel is quite clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. No complaints. We would definitely stay... More

We love this property and stay here often. It is very handy to Whyte Ave. and a great location to pretty much anything you need. However, the room temperture was stiffling!! We finally had two fans brought in, but the room was still very warm........hopefully they figure this out as it can ruin what would have been a fabulous stay!!... More
