We had a wonderful stay at Alt Hotel Calgary East Village. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring restful nights. The hotel’s location along the riverfront was perfect, offering easy access to nearby parks and a variety of restaurants. We particularly enjoyed spending time at a nearby riverside picnic area with family, taking advantage of the warm weather during our visit.

During our stay at Alt Hotel Calgary East Village from August 17 to August 21, 2024, we were initially concerned about the potential noise from the Country Thunder Alberta music festival happening nearby. However, the hotel staff promptly accommodated our request for a room away from the event, ensuring a peaceful environment. The festival itself did not disturb us, and fellow guests, many of whom attended the festival, were considerate and quiet. We only noticed occasional noise from the street, which was minimal. Overall, the hotel’s proactive approach and the respectful behavior of other guests contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

There is a lot of wasted space in the room layout...very odd.. but I expect a european type room in this hotel and enjoy the electronic controls - perfect heat/airflow combination, and adjusting the blinds to adjust for sunrise/sunset etc . This is one of the few hotels which actually has good reading lights or dim lighting for mood. We were able to walk the dog on great paths by the river, enjoy the best coffee/croissant Calgary has to offer across the street and walk to excellent restaurants in Chinatown, all while letting our car charge for free in the public parking garage.

no room service for sure.

Stayed here previously, had a great experience so we decided to stay here again. Location, is good, nice clean rooms. We stayed in a regular king room our first stay, so we tried out the corner king room, which is slightly bigger... But it's not actually.

The corner king room is the exact same as a regular king room, but costs slightly more. The only difference is when you enter the room, there is a huge weird hallway that is completely unusable. There aren't even any hooks or hangers for coats or anything, it's really strange. Then the rest of the room is identical to a regular king room. Don't pay the extra for a corner king, it's actually pretty hilarious how those rooms are designed.

The room was extremely modern and the price was exceptional. I think it was the quickest we've ever had our room cleaned - we nipped out to the shops for 15 minutes and the room had been fully cleaned with towels. No complaints!

The woman who checked us in behind the desk was a little rude to us and the customer in front about parking, so perhaps the hotel should just share information on what to do with parking before we arrive instead of getting annoyed when people ask. I checked on here and my emails and there was no information. Also worth noting that a taxi driver told me we were staying in the worst part of Calgary and this was apparent - I wouldn't walk around there in the dark because there's thieves and drug addicts in the area. We were even told that the apartments nearby were being purchased and put on the market 1 month after due to people getting mugged. So I wouldn't travel and stay here alone.

Great location in the East Village. Right across the street in the Simmons Building you can find a nice bakery and coffee shop. Recommend checking this place out as the pastries and hot food were delicious. Very spacious room with a wonderful view of the Bow River. Really liked the bathroom with the rainfall shower head which made the room feel very premium. Comfy beds and many channels on the television. Nice common space in the lobby area with plenty of seating and tables to work or hang out. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a newer and trendy hotel.

The bed linens and pillow case were not changed during our stay. There should be an option whether or not guests would like the bedding changed for the day. No mini fridge or cooler in the room. Although they have a nice Nespresso machine in the room which is complimentary. The powered blackout window blinds randomly raised up by itself in the middle of one night which disrupted our sleep and startled us. Also, noticed these blackout blinds have a flaw where there are tiny gaps which let in light directly on the bed.

The bathroom was of a very good size - we particularly liked the bench. The coffee machine was excellent. Wonderful to have access to chromecast to be able to view your own tv choices! Good location (near City Hall tram station, near riverfront).

The room was slightly on the small side. The shower was not properly signed (which way to turn which dial to control which water outlet). Why was there only one bedside light - with the other side having only a large light for the room? The blinds did actually not cover all light coming in from the street when lying in bed. Waste separation was not explained.

Very good location - walking distance to downtown, but at a very quiet street. During the weekend plenty of free parking opportunities in the street. Our room was great - super clean, with nice river view, comfortable beds, nice furniture, good coffee provided. Wifi working perfectly. Very nice personnel. There is billiard table downstairs and you can also borrow some board games if you're bored. For breakfast we used the bakery accross the street- really good pastry, sandwiches and coffee. Really great place, I would come back

Everything was great. OK, there were some homeless people in the neighbourhood, but we felt safe nevertheless.

The Alt Hotel is our go to hotel when we visit Calgary. The location in East Village is great, close to downtown with good restaurants and things to do near by, the hotel itself is very modern and clean. The rooms are on the smaller side but they are comfortable, quiet and good value for the money. The hotel does a lot of things right and I would recommend it for any type of stay.

There is really not much to dislike about this place, parking is not free and snagging a street stall can be a challenge but there are paid lots nearby.

I thought parking was included with the room, as online during booking mentioned parking available. As I was driving across the country this was important to me, didn't realize that until I checked in that parking was additional and only as available. It worked out, as it wasn't too busy when checked in, but could be stressful when not prepared and increased that amount of money I wanted to spend on one night stay. Also, didn't find it too appealing to be facing another building right across the way, where you could see directly into other apartments with their lights and tv's going. But the black out blinds do work great to block out.

Very clean. Stylish/up to date. Lights in the shower can change color which was super neat. Blinds and lights were all accessed through a digital pad located at room door and bedside table. Could stream Netflix/youtube from my phone to the TV.

The only reason I did not give 10 stars, was parking was difficult. You have to pay for it at a lot nearby. Which there are 2 different ones that aren’t very far. Also, there is a large homeless population in the areas nearby. As a solo woman, I had a man chase me down as I walked back to the hotel. Just be cautious when traveling alone.
