Best Hotels near Osborne Village, Winnipeg

We spent two midweek nights here. This lovely downtown hotel was built in 1913, and has a beautiful early 20c lobby. If you stay in an historic hotel, you have to understand that some things will not be as good as staying at a modern hotel. For example, bedrooms and bathrooms will often be smaller, there may not be a pool, etc. But for us, being a part of history is enjoyable, and we've stayed in many hotels with an historic background. We found the Fort Garry to be a lovely place---the historic vibe is definitely there. The hotel's location is great---you can walk to the riverside Forks Historic District, with its famous market, museums, etc. And the hotel is only a block from the historic railroad station. Yes, our room was a bit small, but the bed was comfortable. We asked for a room with a good view, and got one on the 5th floor with a nice view of the railroad station and garden areas nearby. The staff here were exceedingly friendly, from the front desk staff to the restaurant servers. For example, our breakfast server from the previous day made a special effort to come over and talk to us the next day, even though she was not our server that day. Really good effort to make you feel comfortable! The hotel has a very nice fitness room, but no pool (you can pay for pool privileges at an adjacent building). The beautiful hotel restaurant (Oval Room) also reeks of history. We had breakfast there two times and dessert (not dinner) once. It's highly rated, and the food was very good. Parking here can be an issue. You can self-park on a fairly small one floor lot on the hotel's first floor, or down below in a basement garage. The first floor lot often fills up with patrons of the restaurant or business functions, but the basement lot was never full, and we used that one on both nights of our stay. Just note that the basement garage has no elevator. Overall, we had a delightful stay at the Fort Garry.

The hotel location is at Winnipeg's heart with excellent service, clean rooms, and reasonable prices. We couldn't find something more attractive on our budget. We could walk at the Forks and enjoy a nice meal, and walk around the stores. Also, we had a great visit to the humane museum just around the corner. Thank you, Humphry Inn.

Room was clean, modern, and quite. We were at the end of a hall, so that probably helped. We stayed in a bi-level King suite, which I would highly recommend. The view from the room was not pretty, just a roof of an adjacent building. However we are not in Winnipeg to look out the hotel room window. Bed was very comfortable and the excellent water pressure in the shower was wonderful. At night, the living room area was rather dark and could use a lighting upgrade. Hotel staff were very friendly, from the breakfast (they should have a sign saying ”please seat yourself” - as guests sometimes wait a while for host to come over and tell them to seat where ever they want) to the pleasant staff at the front desk. Always lots of staff at reception, so no waiting. Although we didn't use the pool area, we looked at it, and it was one of the most appealing looking hotel pools we've ever seen. We used the attached underground parking for 5 days - no issues. Parking area is quite large with numerous levels, would seem to be ample space. Easy in/out access throughout the day.

Our experience in the restarant area for the morning free breakfast was excellent. Not only the delicious breakfast, tThe host of the restaurant I believe i heard her name was Bev, was very friendly. Also make sure that we were provided with a fantastic breakfast. She started our day with a smile, and much firendliness while we enjoyed it there. Please let ”Bev” we appreciate her kindness and friendly hospitality in this Winnipeg restaurant.

Big room, bright spotless bathroom, lots of hot water and the bed was very comfortable. TV & remote did not work well. Carpet was old and worn. Twice we had to order face cloths. The phone system did not work well, the ”messages” left for us did not register. Family and friends complained about the phones not working well. The restaurant not opening until 9:30 a.m. was inconvenient. The fact that at times it didn't feel very safe just outside the main door. That was unnerving. For many years we've enjoyed our stay at the Norwood but this time was disappointing.

Generally, this a very nice hotel and the price is amazing given its central location. The staff are excellent, helpful and friendly. We also enjoyed the modern feel of our room. We were well stocked with clean towels, and bedding was comfy and clean. As cons, you could tell looking at the nooks and crannies along the walls that a more thorough cleaning is needed soon. Housekeeping was also unavailable for two days of our stay due to staff shortages. While this didn't really affect us, and I do appreciate there are industry wide issues, it's something to keep in mind if you require daily cleaning. Truthfully, our biggest issue was the noise and disturbances outside that we heard at night. Again, this isn't the hotel's fault by any means but potential visitors should be aware. Although we only stayed 3 nights, I got woken up frequently by ambulances, police car sirens, racing cars, and once even by a 4am altercation outside on Portage. We were all the way up on the 14th floor. Ear plugs helped but it didn't dull out everything. So, if you're noise sensitive, maybe ask for a room facing Ellice or Hargrave? Parking at the nearby secured Indigo parkade is also $20/day so don't forget to factor that into your budgeting.

The hotel is very clean and tidy, and the decoration is relatively modern. The location is definitely the best, the area is very lively at night and very safe. Opposite the Human Rights Museum, the view is superb. There are plenty of parking spaces, but the price is a bit expensive. The only downside is that there is no swimming pool.

Stayed two nights mid-week in August on a ”Gold” level floor. The room -- two double beds -- was very small. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings nice but dated. The room was clean and TV and wifi worked fine. Housekeeping on the first morning did a very thoughtful job making up the room and anticipating our needs based on uses day before. BUT the keycards are unpredictable and the elevators wobble and shake. We stayed on a ”gold” level floor, which are supposedly their nicest rooms, with access to a lounge. Service was good but very inconvenient traveling between the 18th and 19th floors on elevator. Self park is inconvenient (valet is available). Overall, I wouldn't chose this hotel again.

Room facilities are a bit old, but health is OK. The bed is particularly soft, and it will feel very tired after a night of sleep. This pure personal feeling, a small partner who likes a soft bed is a good choice! I have no breakfast in the room, which determines that the price/performance ratio is still a little low. The most important thing is that there is no free parking lot. I didn’t expect this parking time. The parking fee is 15 knives/day. Others are okay, friends who have no car live here is good, after all, it is downtown, it is quite convenient.

We fled here after being evacuated from the Marlborough due to an ”emergency fumigation operation.” It's just down the street, which means same great location! Also, while one night here cost almost as much as three nights at the Marl (lol), after our experience there the professionalism was worth it. Remote / TV weren't working, but a call downstairs sent a friendly guy up who was quick to fix it. Highly recommended if you need a place downtown in the Peg.
