[PERMANENTLY CLOSED] Bistro Alma - Calgary, Alberta

A little disappointing. Bed was short sheeted. Microwave door wouldn’t open. Poor check in and instructions from staff. Warn out towels. On the good side, we discovered a gym in the basement. Location was good for convocation.

Beds were alright. Rooms are like dorm rooms, which was pretty neat. Parking is a bit annoying. Costs 10$, and it’s a bit of a walk away. Tiny and cramped spots. Checkout was at 12, which was cool. Woman working behind the counter was polite, and very patient with myself and my ... elderly father. Read more

The room was very clean and well kept, as was the building in general. The breakfast area was under renovation at the time, so I can't comment on that. The boxed breakfast they provided was nutritious and had a good variety of foods. The room I was in was ... about the size of a dorm room with a double or queen size bed and a bathroom added, so it felt quite close in there. Parking was a distance away, which was an uncomfortable walk on an injured leg. Winter would also bring challenges walking to and from one's car. Read more

My first 2 nights have been great room is nice and clean. Bed is decent and view is great. The bistro was very busy this morning so there was very little left for breakfast by 740am ended up walking away with only a muffin. Hopefully tomorrow will be better

Edit to 1 star. It's simple, we went for the continental breakfast and as it turned out it wasn't included. We each just payed $10 for a really bad version of a holiday inn breakfast. We only chose to grab the food because we couldn't imagine a world where this ... would cost us money. They were even out of cutlery and coffee. Basically $10 mini danishes and toast. The rooms are pretty nice, the hotel in general is very modern. The fact that it's a dorm is cool because you get your own bedroom with tons of room to store things. The beds however are definitely sub par. Which is my only problem with the hotel. They're like plastic prison mattresses on a set of springs. My wife and I kept getting funneled into the middle of the bed and had a hard time sleeping. Like I said however, everything else about it is really cool. There's even common areas where you can hang out on couches. Read more
