Sait | Hotel in Hillhurst, Alberta

“Great location if you want to be reasonably close to downtown Calgary to see and experience what the city has to offer. Right on a C-Train line, as well. On the other hand, there is no air-conditioning. We were comfortable for a few nights and then found the heat unbearable. Also, the double-size beds are definitely too small for my wife and I. No dishes in the kitchen if you hope to do some cooking. Hot water seems to take forever to reach your room and, even then, it is probably lukewarm at best. Cafeteria where they serve breakfast is really nice but you also have to take into account they do not serve any bacon, sausages or any thing like that. They had some stuff that looked like scrambled eggs - I could never figure out if they were real eggs or not, but I don't think they were. Nice indoor parking lot but it is a really long distance from the building where you are staying. Overall, it is a really nice campus as you will notice if you have a chance to look around a bit. Staff were all very nice and helpful. They did not make any games rooms etc available for us to use, which they sometimes do on other campuses that rent out rooms in the summertime.”

“I had a great stay at SAIT, the staff were helpful and the residence building is a short walk to the parkade or the train! Very reasonable accommodations.”

“I feel like I was catfished. Property is nothing like the photos. Sure it’s serviceable, feels safe and inexpensive comparatively for the area. You get free continental breakfast too including hot eggs so there’s that. But don’t assume it’s like a hotel. It’s a dorm room. Concrete floors, squeaky spring mattress high off the floor, no coffee maker or tv (the ad doesn’t say it’s included but don’t assume like I did), it’s loud, it’s hot and there’s no fan. If you know what you are getting I think it’s a decent place to crash. Just wish they were a little more transparent with what you were getting so you’re not disappointed.”

“Perfect choice for the Calgary Great Stampede. Basic student accomodation - but actually ideal if you just need a bed for the night. The room was hot, no TV and basic breakfast (oats, egg, cereal, bagels, toast and fruit). The room had a bathroom, kitchen and massive fridge freezer.”

“The staff was great, friendly and helpful, room was clean, and with a small kitchen it is great for a few days stay. And the campus is perfectly located 5 minutes away from the city transport.”

“The room was dusty, shoddy and hot (no thermostat), and the bed was uncomfortable. Worse, they had NO spare pillows! The breakfast of powdered eggs was very bland, and no meat was served with it.”

“It was as good as expected, but noise came from other rooms, I even heard phone alarms in the morning. This property is for student residential building so do not expect to be in a luxury hotel”

“Front desk was very helpful, only problem was the free Parking was bit far so we needed to pay for parking, rest was good and breakfast was awesome”

“The hotel/room was good enough for us.It had all the essentials for our trip including fridge, towel and toiletries. Two of four elevators were working, and breakfast was ok( eggs, cereal, coffee, muffins, croissant and bread, yogurt, cream cheese, butter, jam and honey ). Bed was small for two people but we already knew it was double so no complains on it. We visited in June, so not having ac wasn't an issue. it could be nice if hotel had slippers and cutlery but otherwise we didn't have other issues. location was also good, about 25 minutes walk to downtown and also close to train.”

“The staff and breakfast was amazing. We got student housing but there was no dishes or pots and pans to cook with in the kitchen . No blow-dryer in the bathroom and in the 2 bedroom there was only one garbage can. No air conditioning so very warm. Rooms were clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Price was good”
