Stayed one night at Brother Li. It was one of the best places I had stayed with. The whole house is super clean including room, bathroom, living area and kitchen. The owner provided eveything in the bathroom - shampoos, conditioners , body wash as well as toilets paper. In the kitchen, you are provided all kinds of appliances, seasonings, cooking and dining wares, plus coffee and tea. The owner is a very nice person and greet with you onsite. I will recommend to my friends and i will come back again.

This was a comfortable and very reasonably-priced accomodation on our recent road trip. Although we only stayed one night, it could have been a convenient base for a longer stay, especially with access to a lovely kitchen. We had stayed here once before and were glad to have the opportunity to return. Brother Li and Sue were both very welcoming and helpful.

The stay at Li's house was great, the house is in verry good condition. The rooms are super clean and equipped verry well. The rooms can be locked from the in- and outside, that ist verry nice. The hole house and neighberhood seemes verry save. The only point is, that it is located outside of the center from the city, but you are able to park outside at the street or in front of the garage and with the car it's like 25 min into the city. If you got a rental or traveling with your car i would highly recommend you to take this accomodation, because for this price you are not able to find a nicer and safer place for you and your car in my opinion.

Staying at a room in a house in a residential neighbourhood. Nice and quiet. I just needed a bed overnight before an early morning flight so it was perfect for me. Check parking availability - it was perfect for me.

Brother Li\'s Homestay is one of the jewels in the haystack. The manager was very welcoming. She stayed up until very late to make sure all the guests were checked-in before going to bed. The house is at the walking distance to a strip mall where they have restaurants and gas station. Shopping centre such as Costco and T&T also stationed near with driving distance. Our room is spacious. It has a small table and a kind sized bed. The bed feels comfortable and the floor feels clean when we walked on. They have many different area to sit down for meals. The one that attracts us the most was the backyard dinning table. As one said "be one with the nature." Well, if you don\'t mind the bugs. It\'s definitely worth of trying. For this price and the cleanness of the rooms, we are definitely going back when we visits Calgary the next time.

Very good price!! We stayed there after landing in Calagry late at night and the location was very close by our morning bus to Banff. Perfect for a quick stop, the instructions were really clear and rooms are all locked and pretry comfortable. The floors are carpets all over and could have been more clean but other than that I would definetly recommend for budget conscious travellers.

Rooms are poorly sound proofed. You can hear people talking outside of our room and vehicles passing thru the front road. Good thing we were exhausted and slept thru the noise. No mention of shared washroom in Expedia so we were dumbfounded about it when we arrived. Washroom is well kept though. The lady host just barged into our room because she thought we haven't checked in yet. She was very apologetic although it would be well mannered to just knock first on a closed door you would think.

Brother Li is a great place to stay, he greets you and then stays out of your way so you can actually enjoy your stay and not feel like you’re living with your parents again. And I’ve rebooked a room here because the bed is also the comfiest one I’ve ever slept on

Check in was super easy, no problems with the room or place itself. Was given a warm welcome, beds were comfortable and even though there was no AC we opened our windows at night and a nice breeze came in. We slept super well. I hope to visit there again one day. They also offered fishing day trips that I’m sad we didn’t get to try. The property is well located close to airport, downtown and the shopping centres.
