Staff members were helpful. Patio accessed from room was very cosy and pleasantly set up.
A gentle reminder that the bathtub/shower floor was extremely slippery, to the point of being potentially hazardous when in use.
Lighting in room a bit weak to our liking; some dust on the reading lamp on the desk yet to be cleaned.

The room is very big, because I booked a larger room with a small balcony. There are restaurants and bars nearby, which is a bit noisy at night. The receptionist is a young man who has just immigrated from Hong Kong. He is very nice and helped us carry our luggage. We took three basins of ice cubes and put them in the ice bucket in our car. The front of the hotel was being paved with cement, and the entrance was very dusty. The appearance looked nothing like the photo. When we drove to the door, I wondered if I had found the wrong hotel.

Comfortable boutique hotel in the heart of Kensington neighborhood of Calgary, just steps from downtown. Included parking and ample continental breakfast. I would absolutely stay here again.

We stayed 4 nights and booked two rooms at 1126 Memorial Dr. location but the bed quality was poor and beds were too soft. One of us ended up sleeping on a rollaway bed with sofa bed cushions on the top but still didn’t have good sleep during the stay. Hotel staff was not very responsive either. Our “do not disturb” hanger was broken and we asked for a replacement hanger. That door hanger never came after we’ve asked three times and each time there was an excuse. We chose this hotel despite the lack of amenities (ie. Gym, pool, etc) for the comfort and bed quality but were very disappointed. We will not come back again.

A beautiful small hotel with a stylish interior, friendly personnel, one of the best restaurants in Calgary - it were paradise if we had known that the best room category had the poorest location facing the river and a busy street with all of its traffic and pollution.

A little off the beaten path but still very central, Hotel Arts Kensington is my new go-to in Calgary. Having stayed at the other location a few times, I wanted to check out the new outpost and wasn't disappointed. Service was friendly and competent, cost was very reasonable and the daily breakfast delicious. The room was also very spacious and great for getting a solid night's sleep without interruption. Would also recommend the bike rental as the hotel is directly on the Bow River cycling path. The only drawback is that the restaurant/bar isn't open every night (at least when I was there).

The entry is very tired. The reception was less than welcoming. The room decor is dark and uninviting.

Very nice room and great location Kensington, a very cool neighborhood. And Oxbow was excellent - food and service.
