財産 — HI Edmonton
HI Edmonton is a clean, no-frills hostel in a former heritage building downtown, two blocks from the Art Gallery of Alberta. The lobby feels like a busy student common room – worn sofas, noticeboards plastered with tour leaflets, and a front desk that hands out free city maps without you asking. It suits solo budget travellers, backpackers, or anyone who just needs a bed, a shared kitchen, and doesn't mind dorm-style bathrooms.
Edmontonの歴史
Edmonton began as a Hudson's Bay Company fur-trading fort in 1795, grew into a railway hub, then boomed after oil was struck in 1947. The city flattened much of its early architecture for 1960s concrete towers, but pockets of Victorian brick remain in Old Strathcona. Today it’s a river-valley city with a dominant arts scene (the largest Fringe Theatre Festival in North America) and a strong Indigenous and Ukrainian cultural thread.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to HI Edmonton, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 3 or 4 facing the inner courtyard (north side). These floors avoid street-level noise and have less foot traffic near the lift. The courtyard side is quieter than the 81 Avenue frontage.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floor 2 (directly above the lobby and dining area, which can carry noise) and any room facing south onto 81 Avenue. That road sees regular traffic, including buses, from early morning until late evening.
Best views
A north-facing room on floor 4 gives a view over low-rise residential streets and some green space, avoiding the busier arterial view to the south. South-facing views are mostly of 81 Avenue and the opposite commercial strip.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4. These are high enough to avoid street-level sounds and lift lobby bustle, but not so high that you're near any rooftop equipment.
🔊 Noise notes
81 Avenue NW is a main east-west route through Old Strathcona, with regular car and bus traffic — especially during rush hours (7:30-9:00am and 4:30-6:00pm). The hotel's lift can be audible on adjoining rooms, so request a room away from the lift shaft (likely the end of the corridor). No bar or club noise reported at this address — it's in a mixed commercial/residential block, so ambient street hum is the main issue.
Insider tips
1. Parking is limited: the hotel has a small lot behind the building. Arrive before 5pm to secure a spot, or you'll be hunting for street parking. 2. Request a room on the north side when booking — it's not guaranteed, but mentioning you're a light sleeper often helps them assign a quieter room.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Edmontonのトップ観光スポット
💡 Tours run on the hour. Book online or just show up before 10am to avoid school groups. The grounds have good picnic spots and a small pedestrian pond.
💡 Go late Thursday and combine it with a drink at the rooftop café terrace — good views of the Legislature grounds.
💡 The bug room lets you hold a Madagascar hissing cockroach. Free evenings can get crowded — arrive 15 minutes before doors open.
💡 Arrive near closing time for quieter halls. The tropical pyramid is steamy even in winter — wear layers.
💡 Go on a winter promotional day (check their website) — mostly outdoor so dress warmly. The 1920s midway is the liveliest section, with a real carousel.
