    Dragging my suitcase up two flights of stairs, although two very nice people helped me. Pedestrian noise on the street below was a bit loud late at night.

    The room was clean and spacious with a window that opened and a fan.

    The beds were old, and my bed fell apart. When I went to lay down, my mom had to help me put it back together.

    The hotel is beautiful and and the historic atmosphere is stunning

    There's only 1 shared bathroom/toilet per gender. Magnetic key card doesn't work when you put it together with the phone. (Which can easily be forgotten when you're going in an out of the room).

    Very cute vintage hotel in the center of Jasper. Walking distance to the main street for food and shopping. Hotel and room were well maintained and clean. Free parking on the back. Wifi worked. Sink in the room. Nice staff.

    Me and my girlfriend stayed in a small cozy room with shared bathroom. Not too bad that I expected, everything was clean and we were lucky that it was not too busy. The staff is really nice and helpful as well. The big bonus is location!!

    The shared bath was ok I side, and we never met anyone in it, but it did make me nit want to take a shower as it's not very private. Also in the morning, the toilet was broken and didn't flush and it was the only choice. The hall way was nice and cool, but the room was a little warm, but the ceiling fan helped.

    I do respect that it is an old hotel and they try to preserve a charming unique feel.

    My room had an “old” smell to it. It was very clean, but definitely had a smell to it. Had to open the window to air it out-but it still persisted. I did not mention it to the staff. I didn’t love that the shared bathroom could be accessed by anyone while I was in it. Other shared bathrooms I have used at other hotels been lockable from the inside so no one else could access while I was inside. I tried to lock the door on this bathroom from the inside, but it didn’t work. Felt uncomfortable knowing anyone could enter while I was in the shower of going to the bathroom. I should have read the description better because I actually didn’t even know it was a shared bathroom until I got there.

    Location was great.

    Vintage hotel - quirky and can be what you need!
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Queen Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The shared toilet and bath are more of a stretch than it needs to be. There seems to be one toilet (actually one toilet) and one bath for many rooms. The bath is very un-private - the door is the kind you get in public washrooms - space underneath and not to the ceiling. Not a step up from a basic hostel. I do think they could offer up some real estate on the floor to create multiple bath units that are properly private. The staff member who checked me in was pretty abrupt. I get that she's rattled it off dozens of times in the day but it came across as quite unwelcoming - Shared bathroom - you're aware? No elevator, no breakfast, pay in advance plus a $200 deposit. With space limited and prices high in Jasper this was the cheapest room in town aside from the hostel. But it actually wasn't cheap at over $200, but I felt a bit judged. Also, one suggestion is to work on the entrance door to the hotel - when you walk up it's hard to pick out the hotel entrance amid the big signs for the bar, and it does look a bit dive-y.

    I knew what I was getting - room with a sink and shared toilet/bath, and I actually stayed at the Athabasca Hotel in the 80s though in a room with a private bath. The hotel kind of works. It's exceptionally clean and well polished, and quite recently renovated in terms of some decor, and if it weren't it would be much less appealing. The room itself is quite attractive in a vintage way - old European style with a sink in the room. The bed is nice - good pillows and snowy linen, and the carpet is clean and plush. Good towels. Not much space to put things or store things but OK. Prices were sky high in Jasper and this was the only reasonably priced option.

    Mattress was sunk in middle so one of us kept rolling into the pit and disturbing each other's sleep, room temperature was very hot and took 24 hours to cook down with window open

    Front desk gentleman was an awesome Canadian! Loved the old charm of the hotel, too, plus location in town is great + onsite parking was super helpful
