Top Varsity Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very much enjoyed the stay The premises were clean, modern & staff wes great."

Sandman Signature Calgary Downtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is nice and the amenities were great. It is however, right beside the city train, and even though I was on the 14th floor, it was still a noisy area when trying to sleep. At the time of stay, there is a lot of construction going on around the hotel which made it an eyesore. But it was a reasonable rate for downtown Calgary"
