Great downtown location! Walk to restaurants & shops; Know that it's an older hotel.
Pros:

The location was perfect! The staff were very attentive and prompt handling any issues or concerns we had. Our bed was very comfortable. Despite the room's tight spaces, it served our needs during our stay.

Cons:

There was no breakfast provided. The room (#204) is small; specifically, the bathroom's space is very tight with the toilet at the bathroom door.
The restaurant was closed during our short stay. Apparently, a water pipe burst the previous week due to the extreme weather conditions.
On our last night's stay we had to wake up @5:00AM to take the free shuttle to the airport for our flight. There was construction still going on in the restaurant, which was directly below our room, and the noise went on until 11:00PM (on a Tuesday night). Added to this noise, our neighbouring room's noise was very loud until almost midnight (12:00AM)!
After notifying/phoning the front desk reception to complain about the noises, they were prompt in handling the matters.

The most exceptional decor and beautiful soon I’ve stayed in a long time.
Pros:

I appreciate that the exterior stayed true to its original construction but the interior was gorgeous and classy.

Hot Water, Warm People, and Yukon Charm
Pros:

The Edgewater is all it says — and more. The rooms look just like the photos — fresh, stylish, and spotless. The staff are generous, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The water? Let’s just say it’s the hottest in the Yukon. They must have a boiler downstairs!

Loved the photos in the stairwell showing the history of the region — a mini museum moment on your way to the foyer. Location couldn’t be better: at the Yukon River and boardwalk, right on the corner of Front and Main Streets.

There is a wonderful bakery and coffee shop literally across the street.

Yes, you might hear a bit of Main Street’s nightlife through the walls, but that’s just the Yukon reminding you you’re not in a chain hotel.

A small boutique hotel that punches above its weight — cozy, classy, and full of character.

Pros:

Location was in the middle of the city, which is good that it is close to many things, but also meant that parking was just street parking.

Cons:

The lotion contained paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil) which is not very biodegradeable.

Excellent stay
Pros:

Very clean, staff were very nice and accommodating. I appreciated the Brita of water on the nightstand and a good, clean microwave. The rooms are nicely modern and I appreciate the abundance of easily available electrical outlets...it's the little things.

Pros:

The front desk staff is outstanding. Always friendly and accommodating. The rooms are always clean and beds are comfortable. They have an Nexpresso in your room and nice added touch of real cream in the fridge so you can have a nice coffee in the morning.

Pros:

Upon arrival I knew we were going to have a good night. This is a high end hotel like they used to have. Very modern and well maintained.i asked for a main floor room and they honored my request! The staff were kind and helpful during our whole stay. We loved being able to walk across the street to the coffee shop and the toy shop was so much fun! Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!

Lovely Hotel
Pros:

My daughter and I spent a week at this lovely hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It didn't bother us that the hotel didn't have an elevator. The staff helped us bring our luggage to our room. The room was nice and the staff always did a great job cleaning it. I loved the hotel toiletries, nice soft vanilla scent. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The location was perfect, within walking distance to shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions. We had a view of the Yukon River and we even had an amazing show of the northern lights on the pathway across the street.
