Five Calgary Downtown Suites

Inexpensive, but nice hotel right downtown Calgary.

Walking distance to many great establishments. Large room (bedroom, living room & kitchenette) for a low price given the fact that its right downtown.

Smelly place

I do like to stay here. The rooms are large with kitchenettes. The hotel is full most of the time. The real issue for me was the smell of food from every corner of the hotels. Even throughout the halls and elevator. The hotel is older and rooms, though spacious, are older and not undated. The carpets are old and worn, along with the overall room. The rooms are spacious and the hotel inexpensive. Since the hotel always seems booked getting to and from your room can take sometime. The staff is friendly but not always staffed enough to meet the needs of the customers. Then there was the 5am wake up call I did not request..... Overall if you are looking for an inexpensive, spacious place to stay with a kitchenette it is great. Especially if you do not mind the smell of food throughout and the noise level in the rooms from a packed hotel.

Great location

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is downtown and within walking distance of many attractions. The restaurant, bar and lobby were recently updated and look very nice. The one bedroom suite we had needs to be updated, but that did not bother us. It looked like an older aunt's apartment with outdated wallpaper. We were on a higher floor, so the view was nice.

Excellent Hotel

As long as you don't mind dated furnishings, The Five is a great hotel. The staff are friendly and service oriented, pricing is good value and location works for me.

Excellent value right at the heart of downtonw

we took the family room and was very clean and very comfortable. my 8 mnth kid was very happy as he could crawl everywhere. very nice. only drawback is there is no AC but when we went it was cold anyways.

Great Workout Facility and Serivce, Everything Else Needs Work

I stayed at this hotel a number of weeks recently for work and finally had to check out and head to another Calgary hotel. The workout facility is top-notch for a hotel: only 1 treadmill, 1 bike, and 1 elliptical, but has everything else imaginable including free weights, medicine balls, punching bag, etc. The service I experienced was also great with the staff doing everything possible and in reasonably quick time to ensure my satisfaction. Unfortunately, the building is old and there is only 1 temperature throughout all rooms - the in-room thermostats don't control any temperature. The wireless internet was spotty in the evenings, and the wired internet connections in most rooms are near the bed or in the kitchen, but nowhere near the in-room desk. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel other than the fitness center and the price.

Perfect Hotel

Love the location...right in the middle of everything. People were wonderful, parking was secure, and perks were outstanding! Recommend this hotel to everyone.

Outstanding Hotel

This hotel is an older building, however, other than that, it is conveniently located, well priced, clean, friendly and helpful staff. It had new linens and pillows, plenty of hot water and water pressure. Coffee replaced everyday.

Great price and location, but must be the oldest hotel in town!

Ideally located, with great meeting rooms, and bar/lobby area. But this hotel is for the road warriors amongst us who have no need for fancy anything. The rooms have not been remodeled since I was in HS, and that was in the last century. But for the price paid, and the needs met, it should have at least been as nice as the photos!!! And please, do not eat the dinner service in the restaurant. Cysco foods must not serve this area of Canada.

Decent value for the money

The location was ideal and the suite they set me up with was very roomy. The suite had a small kitchen which worked well considering how expensive the city is. The gym was adequate (free weights and machines) and the free internet service reliable. The breakfast was really expensive although the location is close to some moderately priced breakfast joints. All the more established hotels in that area are pricey thus this one was reasonable in relation.

Terrible

This was one of the worst hotels i have stayed in! No air conditioning, Poor Service. I was not impressed at all the only update to this old hotel is the lobby.
