Nice hotel, quiet and clean but don't expect anything extra. All you get is a nice clean room to stay in a convenient location. There is some construction going on which should be over soon. More

Nice hotel, even during renovations. Restaurant needs work. Not opened during posted hours and server doesn't know how to smile. More

We stayed at the Chateau Nova for a week in February 2012 which was booked for us through Yellowknife Outdoor Adventures and really enjoyed it. The hotel was quiet and convenient to everything in town with just short to medium walks. We stayed in a Junior Suite which had a microwave, small refrigerator and 2 burner stove. Meals in town...

As stated in other reviews the hotel is under renovation however most of the things that are wrong the renovations won't fix. The Internet speed was very slow. The restaurant staff was rude and Punlished hours didn't match when they were open. They blocked the emergency exits and the ending machines. They made me switch rooms after one night as... More

We booked a 5-night stay here, but we checked out after the first night. Why? Allow me to enumerate the negatives: 1. Lobby stunk like cigarette smoke. 2. Lobby was stacked deep with rolls of carpet, apparently from a stalled renovation effort. 3. The carpet of our second floor room was stained beyond disgust. 4. The fullsize bed had a... More

The Chateau Nova has obviously seen better days. It would seem that they are trying to improve, but there's a fair ways to go yet. Pro - Water was hot, the coffee-maker worked well, the bed was comfortable, the TV worked well and had a great range of channels. Very friendly staff. Con - I reserved a non-smoking room but... More

Stayed at the Chateau Nova for five days. Bed was very small and uncomfortable, seemed more like a cot than a bed. Carpet looked dirty and stained. Curtain didn't close well, which was ok for October but wouldn't be very good in the summer months when it is light all night. There is no wireless connection. You can borrow a... More

I apologize for the issues you had with your stay. We are almost completed our renovation which involves a new wireless internet system at no charge, new furniture in the rooms and new carpet throughout both buildings.
