Staff members were helpful. Patio accessed from room was very cosy and pleasantly set up. A gentle reminder that the bathtub/shower floor was extremely slippery, to the point of being potentially hazardous when in use. Lighting in room a bit weak to our liking; some dust on the reading lamp on the desk yet to be cleaned.

The room is very big, because I booked a larger room with a small balcony. There are restaurants and bars nearby, which is a bit noisy at night. The receptionist is a young man who has just immigrated from Hong Kong. He is very nice and helped us carry our luggage. We took three basins of ice cubes and put them in the ice bucket in our car. The front of the hotel was being paved with cement, and the entrance was very dusty. The appearance looked nothing like the photo. When we drove to the door, I wondered if I had found the wrong hotel.

Our Stay at the Kensington Arts Hotel was very relaxing. This small boutique hotel was clean, the staff was helpful and the included breakfast was good. Also, you can’t beat the location. Just outside of downtown, nice trails along the river and lots of quaint shops and eateries nearby.

Check in was quick and they upgraded our room. We went for dinner and our server Jonathon was very good at his job and incredibly friendly. We would stay here again.

The small hotel atmosphere made it super relaxing! Beautiful rooms, extremely clean and friendly staff. The morning breakfast was a little weak. Not much to chose from, ended eating elsewhere.

Lovely property! Although it is located in a very busy area, the room was dead quiet. Beautiful building and a wonderful location.

A beautiful boutique hotel in the middle of Calgary - so close to the most enjoyable river walks, shopping, cafes, and restaurants! The staff at the hotel are professional, friendly, and very helpful and the food is delicious!

Nice location, within a short walk to downtown. Room was spacious and clean, with a great bathroom. Breakfast and parking are great amenities and Colin and his staff were friendly and very accommodating.
