Best Hotels near St. Vladimir＇s Russian Orthodox Church, Edmonton

Stayed here due to an unexpected family emergency during the COVID pandemic. We choose this particular location as it was near our destination. We had a comfortable stay, for a very reasonable price, in a trying time. Rooms were modern with mini fridge and microwave (always appreciated) and flat screen T.V. (although a smaller one). I found the beds comfortable, my husband did not. The staff did as well as possible with the COVID restrictions. A free breakfast is provided. The breakfast room was not open, however, when you checked in they took your order for breakfast and then you picked up your bag in the morning. I thought it was nice that they went to the trouble of providing anything, when they could have instead used COVID as an excuse to cancel breakfast all together. Unfortunately the pool was closed (as required by current COVID restrictions), so we did not get to try it. In regards to the location - this is not a tourist location. It is more a location you would stay if you had a particular reason to (e.g. family or business in the area). That being said, it is a fairly convenient spot. There are lots of restaurants nearby (a couple sharing the same parking lot) and you are right next to the LRT that goes downtown. (In fact there were two train tracks right outside our room, but I did not find this bothersome or particularly noisy.) It's unlikely that we will have reason to spend the night in this area of Edmonton again, however, if we did I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel.

Well, the valet & front desk staff were cordial, the room was quite small with a weird sliding window between the sink & the bed, the special big ice they encourage you to order doesn't fit in any of the glasses provided in the room...the room service was hit & miss...the workout area was absolutely AMAZING though...world class... The lobby bar is quite crafty/cold in winter...almost everyone had their coats on...the bartender was excellent! All in all not good value for your dollar...

I had an amazing stay at the Super 8. Sandy is amazing if you’re checking in with her, and the lady in the pub has fantastic service skills. I wish I had of caught her name. She’s fantastic and very attentive. My only complaint is after I left the hotel. I had accidentally left my single use contact lenses in my room. I obviously didn’t realize this until I was getting ready the next morning. I phoned the Super 8 to see if I had accidentally left them….and honestly had to really push for them to look in the lost and found. Thankfully, they found them. I had an emergency pair in my purse “just in case”, but had I have not had the emergency pair, I would have been unable to drive or even see 2 feet in front of me. When I picked them up, they clearly had my old room number and date attached to the “lost item”. I really would have appreciated a two minute phone call or text message to let me know that I had left something behind. Luckily, I was still in the area to be able to pick them up. When I expressed my disappointment to the front desk about the lack of contact, a manager (I think) was there to immediately jump on me to let me know that it was my fault for leaving something behind. I completely and fully understand that it was my mistake that I left something behind, however it would have taken a two minute call to let me know and I would have immediately turned around to pick them up. My recommendation would be to simply just let guests know if they leave something substantial behind. Many of your guests are travelling and are unable to drive back to pick things up when they realize something is missing. Small things make a big difference in the service industry. :) Regardless, I’ll be back! It’s one of my faves in Sherwood Park.

We stayed at the Matrix in August when we travelled to Edmonton to bring our daughter back for University. The location is a great central point for us to go to the University of Alberta campus. The added bonus was the breakfast in the morning. Lots of choices of breakfast options and a seating area. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

It was a nice quiet hotel and I thought the breakfast was great!

Had a 3 nights booked at the hotel The second night, the central AC died while the town was in the middle of a heat wave, with temperatures near 90 (30c) outside. Temperature in the room was around 78 (24c) upon returning to the room after dinner. I had a terrible sleep, as the temperature kept rising through the night and in the morning it was at 82 (26c). I complained to the front desk and was awarded on the spot 15 000 Marriott Bonvoy points! I was told that the situation would return to normal by the end of the day. Upon returning from business day, it wasn't fixed and the temperature in the room was 86 (28c). Went back at the front desk and was told that the crew was still working on the issue and that everything should be fixed soon. Went out with my colleagues for dinner and when we got back, the situation was not fixed yet. The machine was fixed, but it needed to be filled with the cooling gas, then some tests would be required, etc... There was no way I would stay in my room under those conditions. I had 2 colleagues there as well and I was paying for all rooms. The front desk person kept apologizing for the situation and I replied that apologies were accepted, but it would not help me getting some much needed sleep. I asked her if we could be relocated. Her first answer was no, but I did not gave up and after 1-2 minutes, she told me that she would talk with her manager. When she returned, she told me that we could all go to our rooms and that they were making calls to inquire about relocations and that we would be called back asap. After 10 minutes in the room, got a call back with the good news that we were relocated to a Four Points by the airport (as we were leaving the next day anyway) and that the hotel would take care of the cab fee to get there. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the outcomes. Out of a very tough situation, the personal on site was effective in finding a solution that was quite acceptable. The hotel itself was pleasant and the staff very friendly. They had to deal with a situation they had no control over it and make me a happy customer.

Very nice front desk staff. Fast check in and check out. Breakfast is great.

We stayed here after being bumped from Travelodge Edmonton Airport last-minute due to overbooking. We were very fortunate to find a room, as most hotels were sold-out due to Garth Brooks being in town and since we were attending a wedding we were worried we would have to back-out of it due to this. Luckily that was not the case! The hotel was older but exceptionally clean! The pool and breakfast room were closed due to renovations but we did not care because we would not have used these amenities anyway (we were on a tight schedule). Service was great! Super friendly and professional. We dealt with Mary Jasnoor at check-in and again check-out. She was super sweet and helped us forget the terrible experience we had earlier in the day (see my other review for Travelodge Edmonton Airport) Thank you for a very good stay!

We had 3 rooms booked for one night. The price was right, and the view to the river valley was lovely. Unfortunately, to get that view, one must stay in a room directly opposite the elevator, which is fine for some, but can be noisy. The beds seemed comfortable, but the bathrooms were grungy and out-dated, and the faucet handles on my sink turned the opposite way from what is typical here. There really should be free parking for guests, especially in this rougher part of town. And please put some barrier under the door, as the light from the hallway is really bright at night, and if there were a fire, the huge gap would permit a lot of smoke into the room.

Tub is built for small people, bathroom vanity for giants. The tub is pint-sized, about a foot high. I’m five feet tall and just fit. Tried to make the most of what amounted to soaking in a puddle, but couldn’t even do that as the plug wouldn’t hold water. Asked at the front desk right away about a room with an adult sized tub and was told all rooms were the same. Staff acted like they could care less. Bathroom vanity counter was higher than normal, by quite a bit, so even washing my face was a challenge, again, from a five-footer. The bathroom mirror was mounted another foot above that, so I was glad to see a wall mirror by the window which I was able to use for makeup application. The next day tried the shower which wasn’t much better, very low water pressure. I’m guessing this is an older hotel that was somewhat updated. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was okay. Air con worked well. I like to be a bit pampered when staying at a hotel, and this was not that. At the very least, a nice soak at the end of the day isn’t too much to ask. Won’t be back. Too much money for a low end hotel.
