Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton
family suite base for a West Edmonton slides trip
About this hotel
Edmonton's West Edmonton Mall, home to World Waterpark, is a short drive from the property, close enough to fold a slides afternoon into the rest of the day without losing the morning to driving. Rooms here skip an on-site pool, so the whole swimming day happens at World Waterpark itself, with the hotel handling sleep, breakfast and the drive back. Family rooms give toddlers a cot within reach of the adults and give teenagers a bit of their own space, which matters after a day spent going up and down the same stairs to the wave pool. The strongest argument for booking here stays practical rather than flashy: a short, predictable run to World Waterpark and back, repeated for as many days as the trip needs.

Our take
This property suits a family with young kids who will spend most daylight hours at the water park and just need somewhere calm to sleep and eat breakfast. That said, guests hoping for a quiet, adults-only stay may prefer a different property, since the location leans toward family groups heading to the slides. Rated 8.3/10 from 322 reviews, it holds up as a base rather than a destination in itself, which is the honest way to plan a World Waterpark trip on a budget.
- ✓Ask for a room away from the lift if a nap is on the schedule after a long morning in the wave pool.
- ✓Plan breakfast before heading out, since the hotel does not run a full breakfast service.
- ✓Reconfirm your room type at check-in if travelling as a larger family, since suite stock moves fast in peak weeks.
Why we love it
- Free on-site parking
- Simple, no-fuss room set-up
- Fitness room for the adults
- Family rooms sized for a slides trip
Why guests love itOur read on this stay: it earns its keep in the small moments rather than the big ones. A 3-star room a short drive from World Waterpark means the morning starts with breakfast instead of a long commute, and the evening ends with dry towels instead of another trip out. Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton is not trying to be the destination, and that is precisely the point for a family whose whole day already happened in the water.
