Top hotels in Old Strathcona
Varscona Hotel on Whyte
The hotel has been renovated and is OK. The location for people who want to enjoy the very active night life on Whyte should stay here. It is just at the edge of the most active portion, so reasonably quiet but close enough to enjoy. The crowd at night is very young as you would expect. Good location ...

Hyatt Place Edmonton-West
Loved the room, it was very clean and roomy. A little noisy from doors being closed, but people were quiet during quiet hours. We did not get a chance to use the pool and hot tub. The staff were very friendly and courteous.

Radisson Hotel & Conference Centre West Edmonton
The room provided was a life-safety hazard. There was no window in my bedroom, it was a broom closet. There was pet dander, and fur all over the room. We stayed one night, and checked-out, but were charged for three. Do not book here. Avoid at all costs for safety reasons.
