    Note: it's a slightly older hotel (and the furniture has not been upgraded recently), so if 'new' is important to you you should probably downgrade this review to a 3.

    Otherwise, I found them to be a professional and accommodating hotel.  I was generally pleased by the service and amenities, yet they do not nickel-and-dime you like more upscale hotels tend to do.  I found the area outside a little bit noisy (i.e. lots of people yelling outside), but I was there near the start of the school year so it was likely just a bad time.

    Nice hotel in the middle of the action.

    The Varscona on Whyte is one of my favorites in Edmonton. Clean, comfortable rooms and great service. Varscona has two sister hotels, the Mettera (just a couple of blocks up Whyte from the Varscona), and the Matrix, just off Jasper Avenue. The Varscona is the oldest of the three, and is probably due for a renovation, but it's still A-OK in my books. If you want to be impressed, try Mettera or Matrix instead, they are newer and a definitely nicer.

    We enjoyed our stay at the Varscona. The hotel was clean, the rooms were fresh and it's in a great area on Whyte Avenue. Just outside the front door is everything you need.

    They even have a number of shops downstairs in the hotel and a pub. On Fridays they offer a free wine and cheese sampling. The valet service was very convenient and all of it was at a reasonable price.

    I'll be staying at the Varscona again; they know what they're doing.
