I've got to say that this is such a Great place to stay if you're in the downtown area. It's in a strategic location-close to the City centre and therefore making trips to places such as the Rideau Centre, Parliament Hill, High Commissions/Embassies, Byward Market and Museums a close walk rather than using public transportation.As a 'World traveller' I've stayed...

This property is only fair. Rooms are outdated, Room 122, somewhat threadbare, but nice people, great microwave, mini fridge was fine, but no freezer. Very small bathroom. Location is about 20 minutes brisk walk from downtown center (ByWard Market area). Free parking is a perk. More

Our family of 4 ended up staying in Ottawa for a day. We booked this hotel because of it's close proximity to the Parliament Hill and a reasonable price ($105 with AMA discount). Everything was at a low-scale, except the brakefast. Breakfast was reasonable and staff were very friendly! There were stores in a walking distance (3-5 min.), so you... More

Stayed here for one night. Friendly staff, and a decent continental breakfast in the morning. Rooms are tired and in need of a renovation. But for an overnight stay, and 80 dollar price tag, it did the trick.... More

This place is 100 a night. No frills very basic old worn out room. The bathmat was filthy, the soaps and shampoos are of the lowest quality. The towels are paper thin and the house keeping don't clean properly. All the furniture is old and worn out. The hot water wasn't working. The ice machine was broken. More

Check in was smooth with very friendly front desk attendant. We got our room, it was on the 2nd floor and we had to lug all our stuff up a gross stairwell to the 2nd floor. We entered our room and it smelled of someone trying to mask horrible body odour smell with incense. My kids and I could not... More

We stayed at this hotel for four nights on our first ever visit to Ottawa. We didn't rent a car, but had no trouble getting to and from our chosen destinations. It was a short walk from Parliament, Rideau Centre Mall, National Gallery, etc... The hotel wasn't on the most attractive of blocks, but a 2 or 3 minute walk... More
