Hotels near Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport - YXE, Saskatoon

It's probably the most metropolitan city in the province. The river makes for a nice backdrop, and overall it's pretty easy to get around. Make sure to visit in the summer however, as the winters are miserably cold.

Saskatoon has many nice views around the South Saskatchewan River and has lots of wonderful places to eat. Navigating around the city was quite difficult unless you have a GPS in your car. Tourist information places were either closed or non-existent.

The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was good, but monotonous, same stuff every morning. The lighting in the room was very poor though. however, i enjoyed my stay overall. lest i forget, the staff were also very friedly.

Saskatoon is one of the nicest cities on the prairies. we use to visit more when my inlaws lived in the area but now that they have gone we have not been there much lately. the city has sure grown but on the whole I still find it a good city.

Saskatoon is always horrible to drive around compared to other cities of its size. You spend your travel time waiting at stop lights that are not coordinated. As well, left hand turns at stop lights are way too short causing long backups. So unnecessary.

I am an alumni of the University of Saskatchewan (Ph.D. 1975). We had a memorable trip because my wife and I visited Saskatoon after 50 years. It was a nostalgic trip. We revisited the little apartment on Temperance Street which was our home in 1974-75 (as a graduate student). When we left Saskatoon in 1975 it had a population of 135,000. Now (in 2025) the Greater Saskatoon has grown to a metropolis of +300,000. We could not recognize many neighborhoods. The university has expanded significantly. The campus is not only big, it is one of the most beautiful campus in Canada. Most of the buildings have historical architecture, Visitors should take a tour of the campus. Also, the South Saskatchewan River that runs through the city adds to the natural beauty of the city. There are several bridges that are tourist attractions near the downtown. There are many good restaurants in Saskatoon. We ate at Red Lobster. There are several good Mediterranean and Indian (South Asian) restaurants. Chinese restaurants in Saskatoon have a good reputation. Driving through the city is easy.
