    Can’t think of anything that could be done to improve our experience at the hotel.

    Great hotel that was very clean and the staff were pleasant and very helpful. Great selection of restaurants near by that serve very good breakfast.

    My recent stay at Alt hotel was thoroughly enjoyable. The room was clean and quiet and featured modern decor. The bed was especially comfortable. The hotel’s location was ideal, and the underground parking was both convenient and spacious. Architecturally, the hotel boasted a well-designed structure with an aesthetically pleasing interior. Additionally, the staff were friendly and attentive that made my stay feel personalized and welcoming. This hotel certainly made my visit memorable and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking comfort and style.

    I would have liked a larger room and bathroom. Was difficult to have more than one person at a time in any area other than the bed....

    I liked that the Hotel and rooms were modern. The bed was comfy and the large windows were perfect to enjoy the river in the distance.

    I liked everything about the hotel except I hope I did not have to pay extra for the parking.

    The room and the hotel were very clean, the bed very comfortable. It is a new hotel so everything is nice. I liked the quiet location in the new University District. I could walk safely on my own on the streets in the evening - I went to the skating park nearby. Save On Foods is just across the street for getting snacks and beverages. The staff was very friendly.

    Error on the Hotels part, but they charged me. In most cases if and error occurs they are supposed to tell you, not surprise you with an extra bill at the end of your stay.... saying oops we screwed up gave you the room at a discounted price but now going to charge you and make you think it was discounted! It's not a discount if you charge the person again the next day!

    The ALT Hotel in Calgary was exceptional, combining great location, comfort, and top-notch service.

    While my stay at the ALT Hotel in Calgary had many positives, it was marred by two middle-of-the-night fire alarms due to a burst pipe in extremely cold weather. The lack of communication during these incidents, particularly at the marshal point and regarding when it was safe to return to our rooms, was disappointing. Additionally, the absence of any gesture, like a discount, to acknowledge the inconvenience caused was notable.

    My recent stay at the ALT Hotel in Calgary's university district was exceptionally pleasing; I would recommend this hotel for several key reasons: Prime Location: The hotel's proximity to essential amenities significantly enhanced my stay. It is near a mall, providing easy access to various shopping options. Additionally, its closeness to the university is perfect for visitors attending events or meetings in the academic sphere. Vibrant Surroundings: The hotel is nestled in a lively area, surrounded by a rich selection of coffee shops and restaurants. This diversity offered a delightful culinary journey, catering to different tastes and preferences right at my doorstep. Convenient Access to Downtown: The hotel's location offers seamless connectivity to downtown Calgary. This was particularly beneficial for culinary explorations, art events and exploring the city's core, making it an excellent choice for business and leisure travellers. Quality of Accommodation: Beyond its prime location, the hotel provided a comfortable and pleasant stay. The rooms were well-appointed, clean, and equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a relaxing and hassle-free experience. Service Excellence: The staff at the ALT Hotel were welcoming and professional, contributing significantly to the overall positive experience. Their attentiveness and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident throughout my stay.

    The hotel was clean, quiet and a nice laid back environment which I really appreciated. The underground parking, treats and memory foam mattress for my dog really exceeded my expectations and his.

    Needed to keep a room key in the holder for power to the room including the drawer style fridge. Some cleaning staff left it in others removed it causing fridge to turn off.

    Hotel is new, convenient location, walkable to the University of Calgary pool, and Market Mall. Grocery store across the street & various restaurants nearby.

    There was no breakfast included (although I did book it with breakfast included through booking.com) since the hotel is so new that the restaurant was not up and running yet. That made the stay quite pricey.

    It’s brand new and the rooms were very stylish and modern.

    For a hotel aiming for the boutique feel, it was interesting that no ceramic mugs were provided in the rooms -- just paper cups. Having tea as a beverage option would have been nice, as this is what I'm used to seeing in other hotels (fancy and not fancy). The cool-looking chair in the corner of the bedroom is really just a chair-shaped sculpture.

    Since all of my meetings were at / near the University of Calgary, this was a great location. It was also convenient to have a supermarket across the street when I didn't feel like having restaurant food again or just wanted some tea bags. The staff were kind enough to bring me a kettle when I requested it. Room/bathroom are beautifully designed.
