We always enjoy our stays at The Varscona, but would really like the hotel to replace the in-room coffee makers; they are awful. I would recommend a regular Keurig machine.

Thanksgiving on Whyte Ave.
It’s an old refurbished hotel with character.
Wish the shower was better no door so water can get on the floor, but it’s big head low flow. Room coffee maker isn’t fun to use, it is unique, but coffee is good. Little fridge in a box gets very hot, leave cupboard door open. Ice is a walk to the second floor. 2Glasses, 2wineglasses and coffee cups. Complementary wine tasting in Hotel restaurant.
5.0
Wonderful hotel on vibrant Whyte Ave. Suites are truly spacious and the beds are extremely plush. Amazingly quiet during the evening.

Welcoming staff, clean, comfortable, and quiet stay. Central to all we needed to access during our visit. Flanked by a number of quaility restaurants within easy walking distance.
3.0
No blue bins - not eco friendly in the rooms.
Staff wasn’t knowledgeable w/ the events of the hotel (ie was supposed to be a complimentary wine tasting, which was reiterated to us @ check-in but there was a wedding there & front staff apparently wasn’t aware.
Room was not as expected & not worth what they charge.
View was a concrete roof top.
Found day front staff a bit abrupt/rude).
Breakfast was not incl w/ our king suite(s) & was $14.95 ea for a mediocre breakfast w/ a few hot foods.
Parking will cost you $20 +tax in the parkade. We came back from our night out to people making out on our vehicle before security showed up! Ended up w/ some ‘scuff’ marks on the car.
The stairwell to the parkade stunk & was littered w/ ‘stuff’. Not very safe.
First & last time staying @ the hotel.
6.0
Good location, however, it was extremely noisy. Make sure to request a room away from Whyte Avenue.

This is an amazing location and really cute boutique hotel. Unfortunately it’s starting to show its age a d could use a Reno. I also think the front desk needs to be manned more and a watch needs to be happening to avoid people that shouldn’t be in there coming in. I felt a little unsafe going in late at night with people who obviously weren’t staying loitering in the lobby

Not happy with room or access to restaurant service.

Pros - 3 PM check in and 12 PM checkout. Property was mixed and is attached to a great restaurant.
The rooms was small ish but very nice. Big shower was awesome!
Cons - Whyte ave is loud! Motorcycles and loud cars ripping around until 2-3 AM (there is a lot of drunk noise but it’s whyte, to be expected)
Would stay again

There was no hot water for 2 days. The property could have been cleaner and is rather run down. Bed was comfy though. For the price the breakfast could have been included.

Love hotel. Whyte ave just seems rougher.
10.0
great place to stay for a night out on whyte ave, conveniently placed where you can access many bars and food options late into the night, the oversized parking garage is small but definitely appreciated in a place like Whyte to keep a vehicle like a pickup safe overnight. Looked like a nice place to have a wedding as one was happening when i was there and all of them seemed to be having a wonderful time.
8.0
Every staff member we encountered was helpful and kind. Our beds were very comfortable and the room was quiet. We enjoyed the in room coffee in the morning and our group was grateful for the complimentary glass of wine last evening. We also ordered some delicious appetizers in the lounge. Fantastic location, too!

The Varscona always treats us well. Great customer service and perfect location. Just need to update the decor and it would be great. For a boutique hotel it’s great. Just run hot water for a bit it takes a while heat up.
8.0
hotel was very nice, check in was easy, parking was not cheap though.
nice hotel on the busiest street in edmonton, being the busiest street in edmonton you're never too far from seeing illicit/illegal activities.

So Beautiful
2.0
The elevator did not work and didn’t get fixed throughout our stay. They did take 20% off the room charge to compensate for the inconvenience. But no help was offered to help with luggage etc. Unfortunate circumstances, but service in general was sparse. Breakfast not good for the cost. Ample choices down the block. Great short walk to the Queen Elisabeth park viewpoint.
4.0
The property is getting quite rub down. We have noticed a difference in just the last few years. It used to be a gem. So sad.
8.0
Lots of dining & shopping options right outside the hotel along Whyte Ave.

Property is much more run down than pictures show
