A Cute Boutiquey Whyte Ave Hotel
The Varscona is unique! It conveniently has a Second Cup located at the bottom of it, in addition to a Pub and an upscale Canadian restaurant. The beds are comfortable, they have flat screen tv's in each room and an ihome audio alarm clocks next to the beds which is convenient for iphone users like myself. I loved the fact that I was greeted by European scenery on the flat screen tv! I found that to be so original! What made my stay phenomenal though was the staff! Every person that I spoke with, from the bell man to the maids, were all nice and went out of their way to say hello and make sure that I had everything I needed. The rooms were clean and I enjoyed the waffles in the morning, in addition to the free newspapers.
I heard rumors that the hotel will be undergoing some changes in the up and coming months, and I am looking forward to seeing what this boutiquey hotel brand comes up with next! Thanks for making my trip to Edmonton a great one!

Hello, thank you for your comments. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our vibrant location, complimentary breakfast and service. We hope to see you soon. - Olaf, General Manager
The Varscona offered a really good price as compared to other locations nearby. Better value than the sister property on Whyte St. Great neighborhood - tons of restaurants and cafes within 5-10 minute walk. Staff very friendly. Great breakfast deal - 10 coupon for cooked meal - price range 9-12. Nice to have drinks in bar each evening - attached but not part of hotel. Recommended as opposed to downtown as the restaurants are nearby and neighborhood seems very safe. Free parking - including valet (plus tips) - nearby parking is expensive.

overnight stay
. I drove from Calgary to go to a concert in Edmonton. The hotel was easy to find but hard to park in front of in order to get the valet. The check in was super easy.Our room was very clean and comfortable, The noise from the street was a bit distracting when we settled to go to sleep but the bed was very comfortable. There was alot of great resturants within walking distance, The complimentary breakfast in the morning was great. Good selection of juices,pastry,fresh fruit,yogurt.We went when there was only half an hour left and the food was still being replenhised with a good selection of items. Check out was easy but there was a bit of a wait for the valet parking. It was very easy to back on the highway to go home. Overall it was very good and I would stay again.

Excellent Loction
This boutique hotel has a great location on Whyte Avenue and has a wonderful wine tasting event every week night. Usually 2 reds and 2 whites, as well as a nice cheese plate. \n\nThe noise could be bad depending room location. Ie. facing the street compared to facing the back. \n\nThe buffet breakfast was also adequate: fruits, cold hard boiled eggs, toast, cereals, coffee, tea, juices etc. and also wait service. \n\nOnly problem was with a wakeup call not being made, but otherwise staff was excellent. Has a great pick up location for airport limo service.\n\nI would stay here again. \n\n

Wine Tasting + Breakfasts = a good combo
I stayed at the Varscona for a week-long training course, and had this as one of the recommended hotels from the training company. The wine tastings after dinner-time were a nice treat. The location quite good, directly on Whyte avenue (which is the main strip of Edmonton that sees the most action). There is an Irish pub directly connected to it, adding to the convenience. I was happy with the included continental breakfast as well, with a pretty good layout of standard breakfast food (eggs, toast, muffins, etc.)
