It was a short uber ride from the airport and easy to walk to the shops and tour departure points. Staff were ok to deal with. Restaurant on site is good although they don't have a wide range of breakfast options and breakfast starts at 7, which is too late when you have day tours to get to.

The area felt a little rough. There's a particular crowd that hangs around the front. The area across the street near McDonald's and the mini mart especially was not the best. It's a busy area though so I didn't feel unsafe necessarily but it was just obvious the demographics were different here. Aldo didn't like that I didn't get a spare toilet roll. Seems a bit scummy. The air con was such a loud old fashioned unit.

Decent size room that was clean. Super comfortable beds but awful pillows. Literally one hard one and one super soft one each. Plenty of electrical sockets to charge devices with. Nice complimentary bathrobes to use during your stay. Block out blinds so you sleep to whenever you like. Not too much street nose during day, quiet at night. Right next to the train line, so if you need it, that is very convenient. 10-15 minute easy, flat walk to Bow River. Tim Hortons, a pharmacy and circle K across the road. Moxies restaurant on ground floor. We had a lovely steak but it only came with 5 sticks of asparagus and a cooked beet with mash potatoes. For the price, it really should have included more vegetables, considering the size of the Nacho servings going past our table. The Mile high mocha ice cream "cake" with hot fudge and almonds was delicious. Don't believe the hotel desk staff when they tell you that guests get a 10% discount there, you don't. They stopped doing that a year ago, but the hotel staff keep telling guests that they do, probably to get people to dine there. We also had one breakfast there which was nice but the one we got at Tim Horton's the next day was just as good and half the price. Good location for our premium tour van for Banff, as they picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off there too.

Air conditioner was loud and next to useless and it just blew slightly tepid air, even if the dial was turned to cool. Shower was one of those big circle ones that drops the water directly down, so don't bother trying NOT get your hair wet. The hot water in the bathroom took 5-10 minutes of leaving the water running to come in. We didn't have a car, but they charge for parking.

Right next to the rail line that runs for free through the central city. Good size rooms. Great for getting around. Restaurant has nice waitresses. Very accommodating. Staff generally very nice but the first person who booked us in very reluctant to honour a request that had already been okayed. Failed to give us the proper map which someone gave us the next day and failed to give us a letter from our tour operator which meant we missed some good advice about sightseeing. She was polite and perhaps she was new. Otherwise the hotel was great.

Right next to the rail line that runs for free through the central city. Its noisy until it stops. Not dreadful but a consistent rumble.

We only stayed one night (arrived late in the afternoon and left early the next morning) but was impressed with what I experienced. The staff at checkin were very professional and friendly. The bed was comfy, and the hotel is right near a metro stop for convienient travel. The hotel restaurant was also good.

Because the hotel is right near a metro stop you can hear the rumble of the tram, especially at night which might make it tricky for some people to sleep (not a problem for me luckily!). I didn't like the shower - it was a rainfall shower so not a lot of pressure, and the tap was difficult to operate (a small and stiff dial handle that was hard to use - anyone with dexterity or grip issues would probably struggle)

A modern, clean hotel with friendly staff. Good central location with everything within walking distance. The room was big, with a very comfortable bed. The coffee machine, fridge and microwave were a great wee bonus.

The swimming pool could do with a good clean. The pool tiles/walls haven’t had a scrub in a while and are grimy and greasy. Felt like unneeded a good scrub when I came out as I felt greasy from the water. Room wise the only downside was the noise from the C-train and the heater. The C-train you get used to but the heater is very loud but thankfully super fast so you didn’t have to put up with the noise very long.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, they also provided an upgrade option at a discounted price which made our stay all the more comfortable. The room was clean and very spacious and the location is perfect for exploring downtown Calgary. The swimming pool is large enough and opening hours are very long so it's easy to enjoy it even with a busy day schedule.

The kitchenette doesn't actually have anything for cooking, we expected a small stove but there's only a microwave and toaster so that was a bit disappointing.

The AC unit in my first room didn't work but the staff sent a lovely person up to fix it very quickly after i called them. Unfortunately that fix didn't hold but staff were able to move me to a larger room with great AC the next day. They were very responsive and friendly throughout. Also, other reviews mentioned the noise from the tram that stops right outside but it wasn't bothersome to me. I was on the 11th floor though so maybe that made a difference.

The AC units in the two rooms I was in were quite loud. I am a heavy sleeper and don't mind white noise so it wasn't a problem for me but if you are a light sleeper you might find that a challenge. On the whole though I would rather have loud AC than no AC.

I liked the location. The staff were great.

The bed was very uncomfortable. I could feel the springs while lying down. The bed is a big deal for me in hotels. They seemed to vacuum the carpet but I think the building is too old and there was that lingering smell from the carpet. There were stains in the sheets and ai wondered if it's because they are too old, or if they were not clean! I was not able to control the AC in the room and ended up covering with bathrobe. Why wasn't there a duve on the bed? I literally had half pillows!

This superb hotel is a real hidden gem right in the middle of downtown Calgary. The location is perfect, access is very easy when arriving by car, and local amenities and tourist activities (eg Calgary Zoo) are well within easy reach. Dining locations are easy to reach and key sightseeing activities accessible without any issue. Service and friendliness from all staff is incredible - nothing is too much trouble and staff go out of their way to ensure every customer is so well looked after at every encounter. Highly recommend this hotel for any traveller looking for exemplary accommodation in Calgary. I will definitely stay here again on any future visit to Calgary.

Could not fault any of the services received at this Hotel. We have stayed in 26 different hotels etc over the past 9 weeks and Sandman Hotel Downtown Calgary ranks among the very best we have experienced.
