I liked the location a lot. On Saturday and Sunday nights you can park on the street behind the university lots and not pay for parking. It is $15 per night to park in the university lots.
The room was amazingly spacious and the beds were so comfortable.
Be aware that if you need parking it is $15 a night. That would have been good to know beforehand.
this property is in a great location in Edmonton for those who are familiar with Edmonton's transit system. However; it is also within walking distance of many of the cities major attractions including the river valley.

Well located and clean
Its well located if you need to be downtown and if all you want is a place to sleep. It also has a small kitchen. There is no TV or air conditioning, but they do provide a small fan.
Staff was very nice and helpful and the room was very clean. Facility is located in a very convenient place within a walk in distance to big super market and drug store and everything. Also there are many Japanese restaurants including popular Ramen shop Tokiwa. Only thing that we were not happy was that the shower did not have hot water occasionally. But other than that, we stayed more than 2 weeks there and we would like to stay there again!!
Had a serene atmosphere. The staff were also courteous and friendly. Access to the room was also quite easy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff is fabulous you have to remember that you’re staying in a dorm. Our room was unbearably hot while others one door up were more comfortable. The mattresses are encased in plastic, the sheets and blankets are Ill-fitting and rough. The floors are concrete, the showers are tiny, the towels are rough and quite small. If you go expecting to be staying in a dorm and knowing what that entails, it’s fine. If you’re expecting to be comfortable and cares for like in a hotel, pay the higher rate and stay on the first floor in the hotel rooms. The price was great if you’re on a budget and, again, the staff is fabulous. Did I sleep well? No.:
