The Atlas° Hotel (Regina, Canada)

With two intertwining water slides, a swimming pool and a toddler area, plus a spray pad with interactive fountains and a digital water curtain, you really can’t go far wrong when it comes to keeping kids of all ages entertained here. There’s even a hot tub for parents to chill-out in.

Being within an easy walk of all manner of restaurants, shops and supermarkets, as well as a very short drive from the airport and university ensures this hotel makes a great base for any trip to Regina. Very handy indeed.

A great many visitors have noted how impressed they’ve been by the staff members who keep this hotel ticking over. Those working on reception and in the restaurant came in for particular praise, as did the persistently energetic and irrepressible pool workers.

If you don’t mind persistent humidity, constant shrill and an ever-present smell of chlorine then you’ll probably love the poolside rooms available here...

Numerous disgruntled guests have complained about the lumpy and generally very uncomfortable state of the pillows in the accommodations. If you’re very particular about your sleeping arrangements then you may want to consider bringing one with you.

When the pool's busy, it’s VERY busy, so much so that it can often feel quite overwhelming at times. If you can hear the sound of children splashing around from the reception area then that is usually a sign that the complex is about to hit its maximum bather load...
