Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe one thing they could improve is Wifi. Its fine when the hotel's not full. But if you have a group staying there (particularly university age) then it slows down. I would also appreciate a microwave in the room.
The lobby area is a fantastic place to hang out and meet with a friend. The Charcut restaurant off the lobby is also fantastic. They have great pizza, pasta and meat (they are butchers) and can make anything gluten free. I LOVED the room. this is the second time I have stayed here and would live here if I could. The ceilings are high, the decor is fabulous, they have blackout blinds, the bathtub is big and deep, the bathroom is huge, the bed is really comfortable, the desk chair is adjustable in height, there is a Nespresso machine and so on... Location is excellent. Lots of restaurants nearby and a grocery store across the street. Also, a section of the main floor has an area you can eat your takeout if you prefer that to eating in your room.

CanadaOnly honest feedback would be that any form of soundproofing seems to have been forgotten when building. The noise transfer between rooms and the hallway is a bit much. Doors slamming. Can hear the elevator and ice machine at the other End of the hallway! So I always request far away. That being said it is a quiet hotel with mainly respectful guests. But difficult when odd times you will have disturbances from those who are there for other activities. But they make a great effort to combat this. The construction in the next while outside will be a downfall for Alt…. It is evident at 7-8am. Even in -15. And sometimes until 6pm at night in winter. Thankfully the staff well makes up for this in their kindness. Gym had potential. But is so small :( Unsure if they have amenity kits. I asked for Qtips and they don’t have those. So be aware they might not have other items. Hotels are not a new thing. And all over the world, even those built in the last 2-3 years I’m shocked. There are very few Chains that pay the money for better soundproofing/windows in general. So that way no one is more important than anyone else. They can be noisy or quiet and enjoyed by all. Camomile tea is popular but even in them knowing they never order more to stop running out. It’s my Fave and always runs out when I stay.
One of my Fave stays, modern, chill, I don’t feel like I am in Calgary which is great! Always super clean. Top Mention to David and Dustin! Nice ambiance and music. I enjoy the vibe when you walk in. I love that majority of the staff truly care about my stay/me and also remembered me when I returned is top tier and means a lot. Kind gestures really make me feel welcomed and appreciated. Makes a huge difference for me where I travel and stay. Location is great as the University District evolves. All you would need within walking distance. Groceries. Restaurants. Market Wines. Fitness. CF Market Mall and more. Their selections of teas are amazing and organic. Love the Nespresso in Room. Duvet as the bed cover is amazing and usually in very high end hotels. Much healthier and better for sleeping. Love that they have actual decent wine glasses.

CanadaI had an early morning appointment at Cloudbreak so decided to stay the night at the new Alt Hotel since I've had good experiences at several of their other properties. This location is the best among all of them! Simple easy check in, beautiful room with a very comfortable bed, fantastic location in University District with ample dining options, just a great experience.
