Excellent location on Whyte Ave. Can be a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday nights but that is more than offset by proximity to great restaurants, all within walking distance.

This is a great smaller hotel. Everything was excellent. The parking was included with our room rate. They welcomed our small dog, for a pet fee, and we all had a nice Thanksgiving in Edmonton.

Spent our Silver Anniversary at Varscona. This was our second time there in the last couple years as we wanted to be near Whyte Ave for the food, beverages & live entertainment. Bad timing with the beginning of UofA & all of the thirsty students but that's my fault, I lived there for 6 years & should have known better. The staff were amazing & the fresh fruit served at the breakfast buffet was amazing. Thank-you for making our time in Edmonton special.

A little older. But clean and great location. We had parking included/paid but still got a ticket. Just brought it to the front desk and they dealt with it. Very nice staff on scene.

Really nice room, everything you need was there. Great location! There is underground/ covered parking which was great but the process to get access was a little time consuming. Not the end of the world though. Great pizza spot inside the hotel!
