dextor Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 U of A sent me a few places for accommodation, for the people living in Edmonton, where do you think is the most convenient place, taking cost into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguy408 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The locations sent to you by the UofA are places we have secured deals with for you, and none of them are terribly far from the University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactic Folly Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 The absolute closest is probably Campus Towers - not sure how much that costs. But I know they have very good rates for Coast Edmonton Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanJ Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah if you want to fall out of bed and into your interview campus towers is like RIGHT across the street, and by the looks of my stroll past it each morning, it also has fairly regular shuttle vans to the airport driven by dudes with more facial hair than I can ever hope to achieve.

obscured by clouds Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I stayed at the Coast Edmonton Plaza for my interview last year. It was a pretty classy place (by my standards, at least) and the discounted prices were great (especially if you can find some roomies to share with). Also, there was a free taxi service that took us to and from the UAH; be sure to tip the driver a few bucks for their troubles. You could also use the LRT @ Jasper & 104 st., which goes to the UAH (Health Sciences station). As others have said, though, Campus Towers is closest.

peteska Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi guys, My neighbour Gary runs a hostel downtown and asked me to pass along this info. I have never stayed there - but Gary is super nice Peter Med 2012 New short term accommodations in downtown Edmonton. GO Backpackers Hostel, 1 block away from the LRT providing a direct link to the Health Sciences station. And one block from transit centres providing one bus service to the Royal Alexandria, Misercordia and Grey Nuns Hospital. Choices range from 6 bed dorms, 4 bed dorms and private rooms all with their own washrooms. Full kitchen and laundry facilities to keep the daily budget in check and a good vibe. Great place whether you are doing an elective for a couple of weeks, coming to the U of A for an interview or moving to Edmonton. Check it out at http://www.gohostels.ca for the most up to date information or call them at 1-877-646-7835. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote for Coast Plaza Hotel in downtown....stayed there last year and it was comfortable, quiet, and reasonably priced with the Faculty rate (considering it's a downtown hotel). I have chosen to stay there again since! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
