Hotel Le Germain Calgary

“Pleasurable stay”

Enjoyed our overnight stay. Hotel rooms were very impressive and staff very friendly, professional and helpful. Very close to downtown and an easy walk to local attractions and restaurants. Calgary tower across the street, Stephen Street one block away.

“Spacious, modern rooms in the hear heart of Downtown Calgary”

Excellent, spacious and modern room in the middle of downtown Calgary. Perfectly placed to explore the area and enjoy a walk by the river. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Hard to get lost as the hotel is situated next to the Calgary Tower. Direct access to and from the airport.

“Close to great.”

First time staying in Calgary the location was very good across the road from the Tower, just round the corner from the mall and lots of resturants but I quickly learnt lots of hotels are in this area and Downtown Calgary is relatively small so location isn't really relevant to choice. Maybe I'd feel differently if there was snow on the ground. I booked a basic room it was really thoughtfully designed, contemporary and spacious. I liked the layout, it reminded me of a recent stay at Sparkling Hills in Kelowna (a spa hotel). It certainly isn't your usual basic room, a real delight. I actually booked this hotel when I took a look at the Charcut restaurant menu (it actually swayed me to cancel the Fairmont across the street and rebook here) and it did not disappoint The staff were run off their feet but did a great job at breakfast. Unusual for a hotel today, they still had a mini bar. A good mini bar which I really appreciated. If a little dangerous when you look at the menu cost. I didn't care, they had what I wanted and you pay for the convenance. So what didn't I like about the hotel: - the bathroom window have a slit you can see through. Which means if I'm looking into the neighbours lounge, doesn't that mean they can see me in the shower! Yep I showered in the dark. - Funny, they have a mini bar but don't want you to have disposable water bottles, so they have big ceramic water jugs on each floor....but then then don't clean the flasks each day, the plan doesn't make sense. _ It was nice to have both a coffee and a tea option but they didn't replace the tea each day. Given the higher rate I didn't love that. - I had used my credit card in many places pre and post this stay but the machine didn't work at the hotel and they made it very clear it was my fault, it wasn't. - The website said the bar opened at a specific time, it did not, so you have to go out for a refreshment. - I didn't sleep well, some issue with the sheets, I grabbed some towels/robes and was finally able to get off to sleep. What was the surprise: on arrival in the room they texted to say text back if I need anything. I needed transport back to the airport and they made sure that was a breeze. Made up for some of the hiccups above. Would I choose this hotel again? Probably not but I'm not sad that I gave it a shot, they really are close to being great.

“Luxury stay”

The hotel screams opulence from the moment you enter the lobby. The rooms are gorgeous and the beds ridiculously comfortable. It’s a great central location. With how expensive the rooms are I wish you didn’t have to pay for any type of add on, but the breakfast is really tasty, even if it hits the … more
