Sait

Great location if you want to be reasonably close to downtown Calgary to see and experience what the city has to offer. Right on a C-Train line, as well. On the other hand, there is no air-conditioning. We were comfortable for a few nights and then found the heat unbearable. Also, the double-size beds are definitely too small for my wife and I. No dishes in the kitchen if you hope to do some cooking. Hot water seems to take forever to reach your room and, even then, it is probably lukewarm at best. Cafeteria where they serve breakfast is really nice but you also have to take into account they do not serve any bacon, sausages or any thing like that. They had some stuff that looked like scrambled eggs - I could never figure out if they were real eggs or not, but I don't think they were. Nice indoor parking lot but it is a really long distance from the building where you are staying. Overall, it is a really nice campus as you will notice if you have a chance to look around a bit. Staff were all very nice and helpful. They did not make any games rooms etc available for us to use, which they sometimes do on other campuses that rent out rooms in the summertime.

I had a great stay at SAIT, the staff were helpful and the residence building is a short walk to the parkade or the train! Very reasonable accommodations.

I feel like I was catfished. Property is nothing like the photos. Sure it’s serviceable, feels safe and inexpensive comparatively for the area. You get free continental breakfast too including hot eggs so there’s that. But don’t assume it’s like a hotel. It’s a dorm room. Concrete floors, squeaky spring mattress high off the floor, no coffee maker or tv (the ad doesn’t say it’s included but don’t assume like I did), it’s loud, it’s hot and there’s no fan. If you know what you are getting I think it’s a decent place to crash. Just wish they were a little more transparent with what you were getting so you’re not disappointed.

Perfect choice for the Calgary Great Stampede. Basic student accomodation - but actually ideal if you just need a bed for the night. The room was hot, no TV and basic breakfast (oats, egg, cereal, bagels, toast and fruit). The room had a bathroom, kitchen and massive fridge freezer.

The staff was great, friendly and helpful, room was clean, and with a small kitchen it is great for a few days stay. And the campus is perfectly located 5 minutes away from the city transport.
