I would defineltly recommend this little bed/breakfast/boutique hotel to anyone looking for soemthing different or a new experience from the regular hotels out there. Our flight to Calgary got in early and we decided to see if we could check in at 9:00 AM. To our delight the hotel manager Weryna was working the front desk and not only allowed... More

My wife and I wanted to have a quiet romantic weekend trip so we decided to head to Calgary. When looking online at hotels the Kensington Riverside Inn showed up at the top of the search. I had never been to a small boutique hotel prior to this but the reviews were all in line with what we were looking... More

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights on a business trip recently. Overall my impressions of this hotel were positive, really nice location, lovely buildings, very freindly staff. The room was starting to look a little dated, especially the bathroom, but from the note in my bedroom and the colour chart on the reception, it looked like they were just... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night earlier in the month. All I can say is that it was absolutely perfect! The room was amazing and the inclusion of a fireplace really added to the romantic weekend getaway I had planned. All of the staff were extremely friendly and went out of their way to stop and chat.... More

Well, the service was fantastic overall. The problem is that at 4 am the f=guest in the room above mine must have decided to do a fitness workout. I mean it was so loud that after a half hour I rang the front desk to complain. It continued for another half hour. Traveling on business with a early appointment this... More

This is a small boutique hotel with all the amenities.. Easy access to the city just over the river and there is a great little community just behind the hotel. The rooms are nicely appointed and spacious. There is convenient self parking underneath the hotel. The restaurant is excellent although maybe a little pricey, however a full menu breakfast was...

I have a soft spot for the Kensington Riverside Inn since I used to live in the neighbourhood and love the area. The Kensington Riverside or KRI is a very pleasant boutique style hotel in a fantastic neighbourhood with lots to offer the business traveller or those in town for a weekend. For the business traveller, with good shoes you... More

The public areas on the main floor are clean and well appointed. The 2nd floor corridor carpet was stained and in need of refurbishing. The room finishes varied from stained to threadbare. Definetly not a luxury accommodation. The saving grace would be the location and the excellent breakfasts which were included in our room rate. Be aware that the parking... More

The hotel was amazing and I felt so luxurious. Staff were incredibly friendly and accomodating, they even brought us ice! The room was filled with antiques right down to the beautiful silver garbage can and soap holder. The restaurant was delicious and the staff were lovely. The best thing was that the hotel was right down town, we sat on... More
