About this property
VIP YXE - Varsity View | Two bedroom Suite Near RUH
Part of the VIP YXE Collection by Suite Stays, this thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bath Scandinavian-inspired suite offers a calm, spa-like retreat in Saskatoon’s sought-after Varsity View neighbourhood — just steps from the University of Saskatchewan and a short walk to Royal University Hospital (RUH).
Designed for comfort and longer stays, this “barely-a-basement” suite feels bright and open thanks to high ceilings, large windows, careful soundproofing, and independent climate control. Many guests remark that it feels more like a modern apartment or boutique hotel suite than a lower-level space.
Inside the Suite • Two private bedrooms with quality mattresses, blackout curtains, and thoughtful storage • Two full bathrooms with heated towel bars • Heated kitchen floor with radiant heat throughout the rest of the suite • Fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances and generous cookware (ideal for real meals) • Spacious living area with oversized Smart TV and fireplace • In-suite laundry for added convenience • Fast, reliable Wi-Fi and space to work remotely • Independent heating and air conditioning — you control your comfort year-round
Dry Sauna (Seasonal: Approximately October–April)
A private dry sauna is available during cooler months, adding a touch of quiet luxury to your stay. Many guests highlight the sauna as a favourite feature after long workdays, hospital visits, winter walks, or ski days.
Note: this is a dry hot-rock sauna — no water on the rocks.
Outdoor Space Enjoy your private side patio, designed for guest use, with seating for relaxing in warmer months. Mature trees and a peaceful residential setting create a surprisingly serene atmosphere so close to campus and Broadway.
Location Highlights • Walk to the University of Saskatchewan, RUH, neighbourhood parks, and river trails • Easy stroll to Broadway Avenue cafés, bakeries, shops, theatres, and dining • Quiet, tree-lined street in one of Saskatoon’s most established neighbourhoods • Easy access to downtown, 8th Street amenities, and transit
A Few Important Notes (So Expectations Are Clear) • This is a lower-level suite in a remodeled home with soundproofing. While most guests find noise minimal, some normal household sound from above may occasionally be heard. Guests who are highly noise-sensitive may prefer a fully detached home. • This suite is not pet-friendly.
