Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton
Morning arrived with a gentle winter light through the curtains. Breakfast was a quiet, useful hour — hot drinks, a plate that filled me without fuss, and a dining pace that suited a January trip more than a spectacle. I left the table warmed up and unhurried, which is exactly how I like a hotel morning to behave.
Arriving along Fort Rd NW, the building reads as a practical casino-hotel rather than a glass landmark. The entrance is straightforward; the first impression is functional polish — bright enough, busy enough, with gaming energy already audible before you fully cross the threshold. It felt like a place built for regulars as much as overnight guests.
Straight from the guest book
“Had so much fun at the casino, I even got the honor of winning a jackpot junction... However, it is just so HOTTT in this building, please for the goodness and concern of your beloved clientele of gamblers turn the AC up. Having it so hot in here rally added a bump in my enjoyment of my gambling.”
“Love this casino, I go there for lunch every week & the food is always very tasty. Our waitress Eilleen is so wonderful & friendly I give her 5 stars. She is one of the reasons I have lunch there ever week, also the good food. Keep up the good work.”
“Great stay again! Service is excellent, and everything is close at hand and affordable. Very friendly, helpful staff.This was not our first stay, and we will keep coming back.”
“My husband and I had supper on a Saturday night our server Payton went beyond excellent service and Llana In the kitchen came out and told me all the ingredients in my meal and being a celiac I was very appreciative. Hats off to the two of them. Brenda”
“I ordered a chicken burger and fries with gravy. The burgwr was alright. There wasn't anything special about the sauce. I was lettuce, tomato, breaded chicken, and mayo. The gravey was chicken gravey and it was a little bit thin. The fries were seaoned with seasoning salt. Its a run of the mill meal.”

After dark, and the spaces between
Evening changes the temperature of the place — not only the air some guests find warm on the gaming floor, but the social volume. Tables fill, servers move with more urgency, and the hotel corridors stay a softer counterpoint to the casino’s brighter pulse. I liked that split: you can step back upstairs when the floor has had enough of you.
Public spaces are clear and useful. The lobby handles check-ins without ceremony; corridors stay navigable; guests linger where the food and gaming meet rather than in sculptural lounges. It feels lived-in by locals who treat lunch as a weekly ritual — which several reviews confirm.
Was the stay worth it? Qualitatively, yes for what a three-star casino hotel promises: friendly service that guests name by person, food that keeps people returning, and a room that did its quiet job after the floor’s heat and noise. It will not rewrite your idea of luxury; it will, for many travellers, make an Edmonton casino night easy to settle into.
Who should look elsewhere
If you want a cool, low-stimulus gaming floor, this may not be your match — guests repeatedly note how warm the building can feel.
If you want a quiet boutique hideaway far from casino energy, a three-star casino hotel on Fort Rd NW is the wrong brief.
Arriving
With a car. The address at 13103 Fort Rd NW, Edmonton, AB is straightforward to aim for; the map further down this page is the cleanest pin we can give you.
Without a car. Plan your ride to the exact Fort Rd NW pin rather than a neighbourhood name alone — Edmonton is spread out, and the property sits in its own pocket.
Why the map matters. Use the embedded map below before you request a stay so the pin matches the address you expect.
Breakfast and the rest
I ate here as a guest, not a critic with a checklist. Breakfast was comforting and unfussy; later meals around the casino dining rooms showed why regulars name their servers — attention feels personal. When food missed for some guests, it was ordinary rather than disastrous; when it landed, people came back weekly.
How it compares for its class
As a 3-star hotel with a 4.0/5 average across 3629 guest reviews, Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton largely delivers what its class implies: dependable service, on-site dining that locals adopt, and rooms that support a casino night without pretending to be a higher-tier resort.
| What the class implies | What we found |
| Solid basics, limited flourish | Rooms and public areas stayed practical and clear |
| Service that covers the essentials | Guests often praise named staff by name |
| Casino energy as part of the stay | Floor heat and bustle are part of the package |
Not what I expected
I expected the food story to be background noise. Instead, it was the through-line — from weekly lunch regulars to a kitchen willing to walk out and explain every ingredient for a guest who needed that care.
