Top University District Hotel Reviews

Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. Very clean!"

Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is centrally located, but at the time of our visit, there was massive street construction that was very noisy. We were able to move to a higher level floor to avoid hearing the construction. The room was very comfortable, but the air conditioner was not able to regulate the temperature and froze up. We had great experiences with the staff and the pool, hot tub and exercise room were very nice amenities."
