Sandman Hotel Calgary Downtown Reviews   

Review by: Suvi , Espoo, Finland

Stayed: Apr 2013

The hotel is on the edge of downtown - easy to navigate but quite peaceful. The free train was a nice surprice! The hotel has seen its best days, but it was ok for one night.

I chose Sandman City Centre for location and price and I read lots of reviews beforehand. Hotels in Calgary are expensive compared to other places (like Vancouver) and perhaps my one disappointment was that breakfast wasn't included.
The girls on the front desk were very friendly. Room comfortable and clean. Free internet and Business Centre for printing boarding pass etc.
Calgary is an interesting city which doesn't really sell itself. Information centre is at the base of the Tower but it is VERY hard to find and locals don't even know where it is! The light rail is great and free for the city centre and station is about 50mtrs. from the Sandman.
Bus 300 goes to airport for $2.75 - brilliant - stop is 3 blocks from Sandman (only about 10 min easy walk) get map from information centre.
First time I'd used Skoosh - everything great, thanks!

Yes however great the location and facilities were, our room lacked maintenance. The microwave didn't work, there was a great deal of noise from the light rail, the air conditioner was inefficient, the shower leaked and the hot tub was so hot you couldn't get in it.
It was very good value, had a good view, good size room and the king bed was very comfy. A great location with good food outlets close by.

Was adequate for our 5 night stay for the Calgary Stampede.

Highly recommended. Easy to get to. Loved the bar and restaurant we were able to have a drink once we arrived. It was slightly expensive compared to the other hotels for the trip but for a city was good value for money. It was quite far out of town but only took about 20 mins to walk to the calgary tower and we could have jumped on the main free tram line. Very pleased with our stay.

This hotel is in the heart of Calgary. Love Moxies as restaurant on the premises.

Room not up to standard. Asked for a non-smoking room and there was a strong smell of smoke in the room throughout my stay. The room is comfortable, bed is great. The bathroom was not impressive - the basin was cracked, the shower head was loose in the wall and poor stream.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.

First room heating didn't work - not good on -22C nights. Finally found another room with working heater, toilet flush made noise - fixed that in myself.
Rest was ok.

Would recommend as a comfortable hotel located in the middle of downtown Calgary. Adjacent light rail transit was also very useful.

It's an OK place. Disappointed w/ slow elevators, hot/cold shower water difficult to regulate, narrow door to enter with 2 bags in tow, TV channel availability poor. Value was acceptable as the bed was decent, the room was clean but small.
