Hotel Dengan parking di Northwest Territories, Canada

Staying at this hotel for a week, overall experience is great! Our room microwave encountered problem and the front desk staff sent a technician to fix it real quick, highly appreciated. However, the elevator capacity is limited which requires a longer waiting time for the guest, and sometimes people chose to use the stairs instead.

We booked the hotel at Chateau Nova one year ago in advance for Aurora tour in late September!! They sent an email to confirm the room reservation 2 days before the check in date. When we arrived Yellowknife Airport, we called the hotel for pickup. They came in 10-15 minutes. Checkin is fast and they upgrade our 3 rooms to suites. The suite room numbers are 254, 255, and 257. The suite has a living room with a sofa bed, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen and a laundry room with washer and dryer!! You can do your own laundry 😊👍 The kitchen is equipped with a full size refrigerator, oven, microwave, dishwasher, can opener, utensils, cookware, wine glass and mugs. Please bring your own wine opener. The room temperature is fine. Our room has a small balcony with tree view. They provide a potable AC in the bedroom but we never use it. They do daily housekeeping if you turn off the green light on the front door. They provide with plenty of towels, shower bar, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and makeup remover. I did not try the food in their restaurant since we have a full size kitchen and a living room. We ordered food from DoorDash and the food is delivered to your hotel room doorstep!! It’s so convenient. Overall the hotel is good and quiet. I found a stain on the bedsheet and they changed the sheet right away!! The sauna and steam room are always out of order. It’s part of hotel amenities but they never are available for guests. Gym is good. I will go back again!! Book early.

The building seems a bit old, as I could sometimes hear footsteps from the floor above. Also, I'm not sure what the heating system is, but there were occasional strange noises coming from inside the walls. Neither of these was disruptive enough to prevent me from sleeping. The bathwater was lukewarm at certain times of the day. The location, however, is excellent. It was convenient not only for downtown but also for driving to the ice road.

Jenny, the owner, is incredibly friendly and kind. She greeted me with a warm smile and provided a wealth of information about Yellowknife. This guesthouse seems to be a familiar and well-known spot among taxi drivers and aurora tour operators alike. Museums, the visitor center, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance. I had the best trip to Yellowknife. Thank you so much, Jenny!

The room was very comfortable, and the host was super nice! Not only did they recommend delicious food and coffee, but they also provided us with all sorts of cooking utensils and seasonings! Most importantly, the aurora guide they introduced us to was excellent! And on the very night we arrived, we actually saw the aurora right from the hostel! Aurora Hostel truly lives up to its name!

This is a decent hotel option for an aurora viewing trip. The location is very close to the airport. If you arrive in Toronto late at night, a taxi can come directly to your hotel; with a tip, it will cost less than 20 Canadian dollars. There's a Tim Coffee and Starbucks nearby, as well as an Independent supermarket and Walmart, making it convenient. However, the hotel environment is just average, about the level of a Motel 168. The staff are very friendly. Breakfast is very basic, just bread and eggs. It's okay for a short trip of one or two nights.

I stayed here as it was the designated hotel for the Northern Lights tour. The location was great for city sightseeing, and the room was clean. I had no issues during my stay.
