Initial impressions of this hotel were great. We'd previously stayed at the Marriott and by contrast the Riverside seemed to ooze style and character. The public areas were very cool and our superior room was gorgeous with a great view of the river. The bed was great and romantic, the whole room had a very relaxed tone to it with... more

We spent one night, paying $289 Canadian for a Queen Room. The rooms on the first floor are very noisy due to the lounge area adjacent. I would insist on a 2nd floor room next time. First floor rooms also are subject to the sound of footsteps from the floor above. I complained to the manager about the noisy room... more

I booked this hotel for myself for a weekend retreat alone. I did think it was pricey but it was worth it. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and pleasant. The ambiance of this hotel was so charming. Chocolates, turn down service, jazz music playing on the CD player when I entered my room, VERY comfy and luxurious bed/sheets, hot... more

This little hotel sounded like a dream. However, our room must have been the one reserved for the "help". It was small and there was nowhere to sit at to even have coffee. The little "garden" patio would have been just lovely if it had been weeded and plants put in the empty pots. The bathroom vanity was so small... more

My husband and I had booked the hotel before I had read reviews, after reading some I was nervous about if the hotel would be worth the money. It was! Our room was beautiful and the service was friendly. We stayed on Sunday after our wedding on Saturday and booked the wedding night in the city package. Staying the day... more

As a tour guide in the city, I recently booked accomodation for some European guests at the Riverside Inn in the community of Kensington in Calgary. Location: It's a safe and great location, in the heart of a trendy and artsy neighborhood of Calgary and next to the bow river. Lot's of nice restaurants, pubs, and walking pathways. It's on... more

We chose to stay here for our first two nights of honeymoon. We found our room to be luxurious with the fire and comfortable bed, and loved the added extras of tea and breakfast snack early in the morning - ideal for our jetlag! Staff were pleasant, the inclusive breakfast was 'gourmet' and tasty and it was handy to have... more

We were excited to stay here based on location and reviews. Avid travellers and experienced with great B&B's we were shocked to find used condom wrappers, ear plugs, and some trash under our bed! Breakfast ends at 9:00AM, and we made it only one morning having walked to the local coffee house the other 2 days. Since it is a... more

My husband and I stayed at the Kensington Riverside Inn the night before a flight from Calgary to Boston at the end of February 2005. We had just spent a week at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, and despite the fact that the Fairmont was fantastic, the Kensington blew us away! The location is right on the river, in easy... more

Stayed here during Labour Day long weekend. Very nice quiet hotel, well appointed. Staff courteous and efficient. Kensington area is a neat area, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, but very convenient to, it across the Louise Bridge. Breakfast is included. Recommended. more
