Reviews
Find Us
Our central downtown location is very convenient as most of your needs are well within walking distance. There is also a bus system; the schedule can be found on the Yellowknife city website. Parking downtown is meter only; however you can visit the Parking Enforcement Office in City Hall (right across the street from us) and request a 3 day visitors pass that is good for literally any meter. I do have one off street parking spot available that is rented out for $50/day. Major tour operators downtown are well within walking distance. Due to our proximity, many of them will also pick you up right in front of the house even if they don't offer a shuttle service...ask them!
