A great way to visit Calgary due its location in Kensington neighbourhood and downtown right across the river.

The room was way too hot it was 24.5 and no way to adjust it or have a fan on. The bed was super comfortable but i could not sleep due to the room temperature. I pushed the down button on the thermostat until it got to 16 but it didn't make a difference. Unfortunately this kind of ruined it for me

This was our third stay through travelzoo at Hotel Arts. It’s our favourite place to runaway to when we need a quick get away. Oxbow has a delicious menu with many gluten free options. The Kensington neighbourhood is fun to explore in any season.

This was our second stay at Hotel Arts Kensington and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is such a quaint boutique hotel with warm yet modern rooms. We had dinner at Oxbow for the first time and it was phenomenal.There were so many gluten free options.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming (4 of 5 stars due to the reception staff being slightly less engaging/welcoming upon check-in) We will definitely be back!

The choice of toiletries, quite frankly, is absolutely terrible. Please choose unscented everything!

Lovely hotel and staff but a very sparse breakfast, we checked out early and went somewhere else for breakfast so the deal didn’t really work for us

Have enjoyed the Kensington Inn several times in the past, but definitely disappointed most recently. It now seems very understaffed, with the front desk running around trying to take care of everyone. Parking was a big disappointment, as it was not available to us. We were sent across the street, and the arrangement was poorly communicated by the busy staff member. This resulted in a parking ticket. I requested a conversation with a manager and was told they would get in touch with me after the weekend. I waited until Thursday and had to give them a call. Not impressed with the lack of service or care for the satisfaction of their customers. Sorry to say but there are many other options that we would now go with over this Inn in decline.

Hotel Arts Kensington was fabulous. We were beyond pleased with cozy stylish room - fireplace, huge bathroom, bed was so comfy, huge French doors with sunshine but black out blinds too. Location was perfect. The breakfast room was lovely. Staff were all great. We’ve already booked another stay to go back.

I had a great stay. Checking in was easy, the room and hotel was gorgeous. Incredible access in and around the area, especially along the river. Having a fireplace in the room was a special touch during a winter stay. The bathtub was immense, and a perfect end to a relaxing evening.

I was unable to sleep due to the loud fan and pillow top mattress. My chronic health issues require different accomodations, now I know. Otherwise everything was perfect.
