What guests think
At Commercial Hotel, travellers describe a lively, music-focused stay with an on-site Blues On Whyte venue, friendly staff, and a Whyte Avenue location, but simple rooms in an older building that can be small, noisy, and lack air conditioning.
Many found rooms clean and some newly updated, though several reviews mention shared bathrooms, occasional maintenance issues, and inconsistent upkeep. Service is frequently praised as friendly and accommodating, yet guests sometimes faced confusing entry or check-in, difficulty reaching staff, and slow damage-deposit refunds. Overall, expect a simple base with trade-offs in comfort and quiet.

We booked a room here because we wanted to check out some live music and didn't want to drive afterwards. The room was small but clean. There were shared bathrooms and showers. No food service but, lots of options very close by. The music was great and the staff was very friendly. We live quite a ways out of town so, this worked out really well for us. Would definitely do it again.

Heather and the security staff were most accomodating. They gave me a larger room with 2 twin beds while some plumbing repair was made on my original booked single room for one person. Adjacent to the renovated hotel was a great blues club -Blues On Whyte- which was a free access to Saturday afternoon jamming AND a free blues performance at night. Also - the access to the Whyte Ave. shopping district with a myriad of ethnic restaurants and shopping boutiques was a wonderful and walkable experience. I'm going back soon as I can...

I came to town for a Metallica concert and stayed at this hotel. After the concert, when I returned to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by a bar on the first floor. There was an amazing party with live music, and the musicians were playing incredibly well, very professionally. I went to bed after 2 a.m. I'm glad I chose this hotel.

If you are in to experiencing the Edmonton nightlife then this is the hotel for you. Many restaurants, theaters, shops, bars, and markets within walking distance. The hotel itself is an older building, the rooms are small, shared bathrooms, and no air conditioning. It’s located on a very active street so be aware it could be noisy (especially if you open the window). But if you are OK with that I highly recommend this hotel. The hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable. A fan in the room would have been appreciated though. There are no other hotels in the immediate area so if you want to experience the neighborhood this where you want to stay.

Go in with low expectations. Knowing its a hostel is important. Its NOT a hotel. Light in room but no lightbulb. Tag left on blankets meaning they hadnt been washed. No outlet in bathroom so dont expect to use a blow dryer or straightener. Tv was setup. But the cord didnt reach any outlets, so we were unable to use it. Nice room just wasnt ready for ppl to be staying in. Unfortunate, but did the job.

Uniquely bad. No toilet paper in one of the rooms, shared toilets unclean, no towels, air con broken so no sleep. not sure where all the excellent reviews come from. More a bad hostel than a pub hotel. The bar manager checked us in and he was nice but got to be the weirdest experience of a hotel ever. Dont bother believing the good reviews. Avoid!!

We booked a room here because we wanted to check out some live music and didn't want to drive afterwards. The room was small but clean. There were shared bathrooms and showers. No food service but, lots of options very close by. The music was great and the staff was very friendly. We live quite a ways out of town so, this worked out really well for us. Would definitely do it again.

The best part was the character of the place....it had a great vibe from the Blues on Whyte club downstairs. Was exactly what I expected.....great location to stay a night or two. Not a luxury resort but was a pleasant quick stay. Staff were great and check in /out was easy.

Heather and the security staff were most accomodating. They gave me a larger room with 2 twin beds while some plumbing repair was made on my original booked single room for one person. Adjacent to the renovated hotel was a great blues club -Blues On Whyte- which was a free access to Saturday afternoon jamming AND a free blues performance at night. Also - the access to the Whyte Ave. shopping district with a myriad of ethnic restaurants and shopping boutiques was a wonderful and walkable experience. I'm going back soon as I can...

I came to town for a Metallica concert and stayed at this hotel. After the concert, when I returned to the hotel, I was pleasantly surprised by a bar on the first floor. There was an amazing party with live music, and the musicians were playing incredibly well, very professionally. I went to bed after 2 a.m. I'm glad I chose this hotel.

Honestly, I was a little hesitant to book here. We planned a last-minute trip to Edmonton for a concert, and this hotel was the only reasonably priced option close to downtown. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews mentioning noise, cleanliness, parking, shared bathrooms, etc., but honestly, we had a wonderful stay! Everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. We even lucked out and got a parking spot in their gated area, and there was additional parking behind the building as well. Our room was clean and newly renovated. The hallways are definitely dated, but that’s to be expected in a building from 1911 and honestly added some character. We ended our night at the bar located below the hotel, and surprisingly, the noise wasn’t an issue for us at all. And yes — PRIVATE BATHROOM! 😊 The location was great and within walking distance of plenty of pubs and brunch spots. We were pleasantly surprised by our experience and will definitely be staying here again. Thanks for the wonderful stay! 😊
