This was my second stay at The Varscona, and my husband's third or fouth stay. (We have been travelling back and forth to Edmonton for appointments.) Great location on Whyte Avenue with many eateries and shops within walking distance (The Continental Treat Cafe, Chapters, etc). It is easy to get downtown by public transit and equally easy to take car... More

My wife and I, along with our 2 kids ages 7 and 10 stayed at Varscona for 2 nights at the end of last September. We were really impressed and have no hesitation recommending it. Breakfast had an "At home" feel about it rather than a hotel feel. The pre-dinner drinks and cheese were a really nice touch and again... More

The Varscona is in a great location. Close to shopping, restuarants, pubs, clubs, and the University Hospital. We were in one of the corner rooms facing Whyte and I was surprised by how soundproof it was, we couldn't hear the partiers coming out of the bars at 2am or the traffic. I especially liked the complimentary valet service. The rooms... More

This is a great hotel. It is right on Whyte Avenue and offers great access to shopping, restaurants and pubs. The wine and cheese nightly event, and continental breakfast in the morning truly add to the value. The beds are comfortable and the hotel is quite clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. No complaints. We would definitely stay... More

We love this property and stay here often. It is very handy to Whyte Ave. and a great location to pretty much anything you need. However, the room temperture was stiffling!! We finally had two fans brought in, but the room was still very warm........hopefully they figure this out as it can ruin what would have been a fabulous stay!!... More

We stayed here 4 nights. No big complaints about the room except how hot it was. We weren't able to turn down the heat because "we have central air." Breakfast wasn't bad for continental but if you're 5 minutes past nine on arrival, count yourself out. Overall we most appreciated the location on Whyte, just across the street from the... More

The Varscona is a good hotel in the heart of one of the most vibrant streets in western Canada, Edmonton's Whyte Avenue. Proximity to entertainment, shopping, public transit, and cultural activities is close to unsurpassed. The Whyte avenue crowds can become noisy on weekend evenings. The downside resides inside the hotel rooms. Many are showing age in worn carpets, deteriorating... More

Was in Edmonton to attend a specific event, and the Varscona was the perfect location for me. It's a small, boutique style hotel right on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton. Unique shopping, exciting night life (O'Byrne's Pub is attached) and restaurants are right outside your door. Some great perks to be found when staying here include free valet parking, a great...

The Varscona is in a great location if you want to pub crawl in the evening. Did not get a chance to shop in the area as it was a holiday and stores were closed. The rooms at Varscona are an average size and clean. Appreciated the early check in. There were only three downsides to the Varscona. There is... More
