Top Arts Desire Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arts

10/10 Excellent

"I was really impressed with the presentation of this hotel. My room was spacious and clean, it's location is close to the Calgary nightlife and to nearby dining areas. The one area I observed that seemed understaff was the social club lounge. The bartender appeared to be a one man show as he was handling orders from both the lounge and the pool area. The staff was very attentive and helpful to make sure I was ok. The hotel room has plenty of amenities. I'm very happy with my stay and will book to stay again when I visit Calgary."

Coast Calgary Downtown Hotel & Suites by APA

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and well serviced . The big surprise was the bidet / toilet seat which was a novelty and cause some giggles . The reception staff were OK and but very generic. Certain parts of the hotel showed a little wear and tare but overall it was good . Didn’t have breakfast because it was a grab and go, which didn’t appeal to us . My room was actually a suite which was fully equipped kitchen, full size, oven , fridge/ freezer and dishwasher . Also a microwave, toaster and kettle. We were in Calgary for a festival at Princes Park and the hotel was perfectly situated for us to walk back and forth while leaving the car in the hotel car park . I would stay here again"
