We have stayed at the Varscona numerous times and am always totally impressed with the service and the accommodations. The rooms are always beautiful and we thoroughly enjoy the wine and cheese in the evenings. On our last stay they went above and beyond anything we would expect. It was our anniversary and I asked if they had some sort... more

We spent two nights at the Varscona Hotel in Edmonton. The room rate was not outrageous but the room was not outrageous either. The kingsize bed was comfortable and had lots of pillows. The TV was small and the Bose clock radio was okay. Internet connection was good and the bathroom was big enough. The bath products were nice -Aveeda.... more

A comfortable hotel with friendly staff located within the bohemian/eclectic Strathcona area of Edmonton. The rooms are average, but comfortable. I was on the 6th floor, and it was quiet, even though my room was closer to Whyte Ave. My floor was in the midst of remodeling/painting, so the hallways were not great to look at, but the rooms were... more

Very pleasant small hotel in a lively part of Edmonton. This was our first trip to Edmonton and we thoroughly enjoyed the area especially the choice of restaurants and the Saturday morning farmers' market nearby. The rooms are nicely decorated, large king size bed. While not a high end boutique hotel, you don't feel that you are in a standard... more

I stayed at the Varscona for 5 nights for an interview in Edmonton (booked by my hosts). All of the staff were friendly, courteous and accommodating including the desk-, wait- and housekeeping staff. The room was very nice and well kept with a gigantic king sized bed; a fancy cabinet housing the tv, minibar, coffee maker and a set of... more

I was in Edmonton for four days in January. The Varscona hotel was very nice, clean, and had everything I expected and more. We had very cold weather in Edmonton these days (almost down to -40 C!), but the hotel and my room was warm. Because of the cold weather, it was also convenient to have a nice diner/restaurant downstairs.... more

I stayed at the Varscona on business. I know Edmonton well but had never really noticed the Varscona with its entrance just off Whyte Avenue. Some people call the Varscona a boutique hotel, I wouldn't really call it that because it doesn't have the interior ambiance/intimate atmosphere for what I would consider boutique, also it is a bit bigger with... more

Stayed for 3 nights and had a great time. I was concerned at first about the parking but the valet parking worked very well. Drop car off at front door in evening at had it back in the morning . Desk only asked for 15 minutes lead time and never waited for car once. Room was quiet and clean. Would... more

My husband, two sons and I travelled to Edmonton on July 31, 2005 for a concert at the Klondike Days exhibition. We were looking for a hotel closer to the K Days grounds but they were all booked. We saw on the map that the Varscona was on a good transit service line so we booked them for that night.... more
