The hotel

If you're looking for a comfortable base from which to explore the vibrant city of Calgary, look no further! Being close to the LRT (Light Rail Transit system), you can enjoy easy access to a number of attractions, including Calgary Tower, Stampede Grounds and Calgary Zoo. If you fancy doing some shopping, the Eaton Centre is just a few blocks away, with Eau Claire Market and 17th Avenue retail and entertainment district a little further. There are also bars and restaurants aplenty on your doorstep. At the end of a busy day Sandman Hotel Calgary City Centre offers a wonderful respite.

Well located hotel with good facilities, including a gym, pool and on-site Moxies restaurant.

My 4th visit to this hotel and will definitely return. Trams are right outside so easy access around the city, a good ‘free ride zone’ too. Read less

Really nice and modern hotel to stay at. Great location directly next to a train station. (Which is free). The room was nice but a little bit tight for the four of us. It had a microwave in the room available what we really liked. Swimmingpool also available, kids liked it.

Beds are fantastic! Probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. Rooms are clean and quiet. You have to park in a parkade operated by a third party. There is a sign in parkade saying to register the license plate with the hotel but no mention of paying for parking at the hotel. I paid for parking at the kiosk in parkade and… Read more
Beds are fantastic! Probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. Rooms are clean and quiet. You have to park in a parkade operated by a third party. There is a sign in parkade saying to register the license plate with the hotel but no mention of paying for parking at the hotel. I paid for parking at the kiosk in parkade and when I checked in I was told I had to pay for parking. I told them that I already paid at the kiosk. That created some confusion but was no issue (I still had to register license plate) but it would have been nice to have a sign instructing hotel guests to pay for parking at the hotel check in.. not a super location unless you need to be downtown.. C-Train stops right outside hotel which is super convenient. Read less

Hotel was easy to find using satnav and took us directly to the parking garage. Check in process was quick and simple and the staff were pleasant and helpful. We had a room on the 21st floor and we were asked at check in if we were OK with a high floor which was nice. The room was modern and very clean, with lovely fluffy bath robes! Had plenty… Read more
Hotel was easy to find using satnav and took us directly to the parking garage. Check in process was quick and simple and the staff were pleasant and helpful. We had a room on the 21st floor and we were asked at check in if we were OK with a high floor which was nice. The room was modern and very clean, with lovely fluffy bath robes! Had plenty of USB ports which was extremely helpful! There was a little noise from outside but you are in the middle of a city so is to be expected. The hotel was a 15-20 minute walk to downtown (Calgary Tower) but there were trains with a stop directly outside the hotel which would have been useful too. The bar area was lovely and the cocktails were delicious! I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again. Read less
