6/10 Good

I certainly left it cleaner than I found it. It look 3 mugs before I got a clean one, the utensils still had food on them in the drawer. I had to buy dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent, fabric softener, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner, toilet paper, Kleenex, paper towel. There were two bath towels and two face cloths, no hand towel. I had to do laundry everyday to have clean towels and face cloths. I felt guilty with the request to reduce water usage! There wasn’t event a bottle of water in the fridge. Rugs are so gross, flooring needs an update. Sofa was horrible to sit on and get off, no legs. Now the positive: Very safe, great to have Landry in suite, ug parking was great, concierge was great. View was great. Bed was very comfortable. Very walkable! Location was great.

The property was close to many amenities and easy to locate. One suggestion I would make would that extra sheets and towels be provided. However, I would stay again!

This property is a small but cute apartment. It is right across the street from the C-Train and close to lots of restaurants, pubs and the Stampede grounds. The street traffic can get pretty noisy at night, so bring earplugs.

Our stay in Calgary was excellent. All check in and out instructions were clear and the hosts were very prompt with responding to any questions that we had. The unit is lovely, very clean and organized. It is ideal for pairs and boasting a stunning view of the Saddle Dome. The room has a very clean aesthetic with a full kitchen which made our stay very convenient. The included parking was definitely a bonus, we were able to walk all around the city without driving. We will definitely be staying here again if the room is available.

Great view from the balcony. Unfortunately there wasn’t access to the gym as advertised. A lot of homeless people in the area which made walking around a little uncomfortable.

Great place!

The suite was perfect. The location was amazing and the host was very helpful with any issues. The sofa sleeper was very uncomfortable so ended up just sleeping on the couch (my daughter had the bedroom). Unfortunately did not know there was an extra mattress to use on top of the sofa bed until the morning I left. That would have helped to know. Otherwise the place was great and I will definitely use it again!

This suite is a small one-bedroom condo operated by a family. Check-in and check-out were easy. The condo had a good bed and a nice kitchen/living area. There were a few hiccups. The ice-maker in the fridge didn't work. We wanted to use the pullout couch but had to wait an extra day for bedding, the towels were tiny and the exercise facilities were only available to regular building residents (due to Covid). All-in-all, we had a good stay and I would stay here again.

14th floor apt monki-di calgary

The apartment was clean but the bedroom felt cramped. The bed was comfortable though. The couch was uncomfortable and low. We had no hot water to speak of. Having a 10 minute shower we were lucky to get any warm water. There are a lot of rules to follow with hefty fines if the rules were not followed.

4/10 Fair

Nothing ‘Executive’ about this place

Disappointing Experience at Monk-Di Executive Suites-Alura From the start, the owner’s communication was abysmal. Despite arriving at a very reasonable hour (5 PM), we had no way to get into the unit. Multiple attempts to reach the owner went unanswered, leaving us stranded and frustrated in the cold. When we finally managed to access the suite (from a stranger letting us in the building), we had to wash all the dishes - lip stains on them—completely unhygienic and unacceptable for a supposed “executive suite.” Despite this, we went out of our way to leave the place cleaner than we found it, only to be completely ignored when requesting the return of our $500 damage deposit. Today is day 3 with no response, which is both unprofessional and unethical to not respond at all. The booking site has been helpful and is monitoring the situation. I would not recommend Monk-Di Executive Suites-Alura to anyone. Especially those looking for an ‘Executive Suite’ - the unit and its furnishings are far from Executive. The lack of communication, poor cleanliness, one shared key and struggle to get damage back make this experience one I’d prefer to forget. Save yourself the hassle and book elsewhere.

La proximité des activités et la vue du Stampede. On pouvait y voir les feux d artifices.

Your main takeaway is that this is not a hotel. It is a fully furnished one bedroom condo from a private individual. Once you know this, everything else will make sense. The property is excellent and clean. It’s way better than what you would get for the same price at a hotel. The location is very convenient. There’s an Asian supermarket on the ground floor and a Shoppers Drug Mart across the street. You have a great view of the Saddledome. Free parking is included. Just keep in mind that communication may be very slow so be patient. Note that just like all hotels, there will be additional fees and taxes on top of the rate.
