We spent one night at the Kensington Riverside Inn last week, arriving after a very long flight from California. My only complaint is that we arrived after 6:00 p.m. and didn't really have time to linger and enjoy the hotel more. Our King room had a street view.Our bed was so comfortable and the room was very charming. Most of... more

A quick trip from Edmonton to Calgary to drop our son off for an international flight in the early evening required an overnight stay before returning home. Without consulting TripAdvisor, we booked the Kensington Riverside Inn which turned out to be one of the best small hotels we have ever stayed in. Easy to find, just off (Memorial Drive), close... more

I booked this hotel for me and my Mom after our trip to Banff. I found it on the Internet, read the reviews and thought it sounded quaint. We only stayed one night but what a great experience it was! The hotel is in a great location, not quite downtown but a short lovely walk away. The room was immaculate... more

My husband and I, who live in Calgary, decided to spend the day wandering around Kensington and to stay the night at the Riverside Inn. We had dinner at The Chefs Table. Every minute of our 24hr "staycation" was phenomenal. We were greeted by the General Manager who was extra courteous, even walking us up to our room! Our suite... more

My fiancee booked the hotel for a mini getaway for my birthday. Stayed in a jacuzzi suite on the 2nd floor which was wonderful. It had a balcony which overlooked the river and had a great view of downtown. Had dinner at the Chef's Table and it was absolutely amazing. The service and food were magnificent. It is in a... more

We chose to stay again at this hotel for 5 nights after a pleasant stay some 2 years ago. The hotel is now under new management and it shows – out with the slightly old-fashioned soft and relaxing touches and in with the modern brittle in steel grey - acres of it. The rooms are entirely functional, well-fitted and comfortable... more

Initial impressions of this hotel were great. We'd previously stayed at the Marriott and by contrast the Riverside seemed to ooze style and character. The public areas were very cool and our superior room was gorgeous with a great view of the river. The bed was great and romantic, the whole room had a very relaxed tone to it with... more

We spent one night, paying $289 Canadian for a Queen Room. The rooms on the first floor are very noisy due to the lounge area adjacent. I would insist on a 2nd floor room next time. First floor rooms also are subject to the sound of footsteps from the floor above. I complained to the manager about the noisy room... more

I booked this hotel for myself for a weekend retreat alone. I did think it was pricey but it was worth it. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and pleasant. The ambiance of this hotel was so charming. Chocolates, turn down service, jazz music playing on the CD player when I entered my room, VERY comfy and luxurious bed/sheets, hot... more
