The Garden Side Room has a queen size bed, and private flower garden and deck. The Fireside Room has a single room with a cozy fireplace. There are antiques throughout.

    well situated/excellent host

    August 28, 2012

    We agree totally with the comments concerning the very clean rooms in an elegant setting, well situated, front door parking, and excellent breakfasts. What we would like to add is that it represents what we are looking for in terms of bed and breakfasts, not only good quality/priced lodging but a kind and resourceful host who takes an interest in his/her guests and shares with them important information on the city they are visiting - the excellent web site with links allowed us to arrange all our tickets for the Stampede before leaving France. Also we had looked into our trip far too late and couldnt find accommodation for our whole stay in particular the Stampede and even considered cancelling our trip to Canada until we happened upon the Mount Royal BB. Michael took us for a good part of the stay and spared no effort in finding other accommodation for us for the other 3 days in a well situated BB he knew and emailed and phoned us in France. We heartily recommend Mount Royal BB. Guests from Neuilly, France

    Calgary stampede B & B

    July 25, 2012

    In July we went to Calgary for stampede. While there we stayed at this wonderful B & B. This was convenient, quiet location to downtown Calgary and stampede. Rooms were spotless while breakfast was remarkable. Owner extended us every courtesy possible. We would highly recommend this B & B to everyone. K & D Trump, Ontario

    Perfect for us

    September 26, 2011

    We arrived late but our host was gracious and welcoming anyway. Through our visit he was helpful, knowledgeable, easygoing and pleasant. Great location! We should have taken a taxi from the airport and rented a car when we left Calgary. Everything was close by, we walked to downtown and really did not need the car. Oh well... This place is a gem...The house is 100 years old but well maintained, beautifully furnished, with interesting pictures and lovely objects all around. It was a bit like going back in time. The front yard was full of flowers. Our room with queensize bed was on the back, with its own private deck, flower boxes full of blooms, with a round table and bench wrapped around a tree. We had great sleeps, the place was quiet and the mattress was firm but soft just as we like it. Breakfast was different every day ...and delicious every day. We were treated like royalty with many special touches, but allowed privacy and space when we needed it. We loved it.

    Charming B & B in a great location

    September 10, 2011

    I just returned from a 5 night stay here when I was in Calgary for job interviews and my experience was great. The first morning I was pleasantly surprised at breakfast to be given, amongst a few other things, homemade bread and jam, premium quality tea, and fresh fruit and yogurt topped with an edible flower. The presentation was beautiful and relaxing music played in the background while I ate. The room was comfortable and nicely decorated, as was the property in general. I stayed in the garden-side room which has a large, lovely private deck area (I only wish I spent more time out there). The host was very accommodating and helpful in orienting me with Calgary. Another perk with the property was its great location. It is mere steps away from the trendy 17th Avenue and walkable to downtown. I will definitely recommend staying here to family and friends visiting Calgary!

    Extraordinary!

    August 14, 2011

    A lovely stay at 18th Ave Uptown Mount Royal Bed and Breakfast last week. A restful, cozy hideaway close to the pulse of the city. Quiet for any sort of place, but especially so for a place a moment's walk from an enormous variety of shopping and dining. I was warmly welcomed, generously oriented to a delightful series of spaces ranging from private deck to spacious living room; each quaint, perfectly cared for, and full of thoughtful, elegant traditional touches in this historic house. A delicious breakfast was served with the same grace and elegance. Wish I'd come up with this (saw it in the guest book): "food too beautiful to eat and too good not to!" Everything about this place and its owner speaks to good taste, grace, and a great sense of gentle humour; all focussed only on maximizing the enjoyment and comfort of the guests. I loved the place. 5 stars.
