For most travelers arriving in the region, Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is the primary and only major gateway, handling both domestic and international traffic. It is located 27.5 km south of downtown, meaning it is not strictly within the city center but serves as the main hub for the metropolitan area. The most practical way to reach the city center is via a combination of the ETS Route 747 bus and the LRT system, which offers the most budget-friendly experience. For those prioritizing convenience and speed, especially with significant luggage, a pre-arranged taxi or rideshare is recommended, as these provide direct door-to-door service. While the airport is well-connected by road, travelers should account for potential traffic during peak hours when estimating travel times. Regardless of the choice, the airport provides clear signage for all transport modes near the arrivals level, ensuring a straightforward transition into the city.

Downtown Edmonton Edmonton|0.62km from city center
The hotel is very conveniently located in downtown Edmonton, within walking distance to attractions and public transport. Hotel staff were friendly and hospitable. I do, however, think the hotel is in need of a renovation to modernise it as the interiors and fixtures were outdated. The hotel could also help with the room doors as their opening and closing can be loud and disruptive if trying to sleep. For a next trip to Edmonton, I would stay again.FromUS$88

The room isn't huge, but it has everything you need. When you check in, they'll ask if you want a fridge and microwave, and if you do, they'll bring them to your room. The bathroom fixtures are spotless. The service is also excellent. This hotel has joined ”Best Western” and officially changed its name on August 1st this year.FromUS$72

We stayed here for our 15-year anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. Fred from guest services went above and beyond to help with a request to surprise my husband. All the staff were amazing - extremely, helpful and kind. It wasn’t a busy time so they were able to upgrade our room and brought us a bottle of champagne. We went to Alchemy where we had great drinks and excellent service.FromUS$301

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times. It’s always clean, but the rooms are smaller compared to others in the same price range. The staff are friendly, and the location feels very safe—plus, it’s close to Walmart and plenty of food spots. Breakfast is average, but good enough to start your day.FromUS$63

We had a great stay at Best Western Plus last weekend during the snow storm. I asked for a hygiene kit from the front desk and she gladly offered the shaver and the cream I desperately needed. I will be back this summer and I will stay at this hotel againFromUS$87

Nice hotel, which was spotlessly clean, with good facilities. Indoor pool and games room plus pool on roof. Good choice for breakfast. Bar area was pleasant, but fairly quiet, although not expensive. In general, the staff were helpful and efficient. The Hotel is in a rather scruffy area about 5 minutes walk from the restaurants and bars but it felt very safe.FromUS$86

We went with children and seniors, and the connecting rooms were very convenient. Next time, we'll try the themed rooms. I saw the themed room my friend booked, and it was great, but it was a bit small, not as big as the one I booked. However, the kids really liked it.FromUS$120

Hotels abroad are relatively old, so don't expect too much. I would like to remind you that you should never park in the hotel. It costs $36.75 a day, while the public parking lot 300m outside the hotel only costs $4 a day. It's a rip-off. Later, I wanted to stop parking and asked if I could get a refund. The answer was ”No”🥲🥲🥲FromUS$110
