We stayed at this hotel for three nights based on Trip Advisor and we were more than pleased. The hotel is in a great location - walking distance to all the major sites. The staff was wonderful. We asked when we reserved for a room with a view and they gave us a quite large corner room with three large... more

We stayed at the Lord Elgin for one night a few weeks ago during our cross Canada trip and were very happy with our stay there. If you're driving there it's very easy to find (with Google map directions !) and the rooms are comfortable and fairly standard for a hotel of this size. The front desk staff were friendly... more

Great central location. No problems during our stay. more

The hotel is old and tired. The metal window frames in our room did not close properly so the wind and the noise came into our room. Everytime the person next door went to the bathroom you could hear everything they did, not much fun at 4 in the morning. At breakfast I asked for milk for my coffee. The... more

Very close to Winterlude and the Rideau Canal, and only a few minutes walk to Parliament Hill. The room was very nice and comfortable, and our room had a great view of the Wnterlude ice sculptures which were just across the road. The restaurant was also very nice and not too expensive. The only downside was that it didn't have... more

First time to Ottawa and lucked out staying at the Elgin. Excellent location to most attractions; Sparks street, Rideau Shopping center, Byward Market, Parliament Buildings & Galleries. The Elgin is a fine hotel, fine dining and helpful staff who wait on your every need. A turn of the century old hotel that oozes class. Your car is valet parked for... more

My kids , my husband and I decided to go down to the fitness room, after a few minutes a gentleman came down and he said" the kids are not allowed in here unsupervised but it is ok if... more

Lengthy reviews don't apply to a hotel as spectacular as this. Not one staff member was unkind to me my entire stay over New Years. Even when I stayed an extra night because of the hideous snow storm that struck Ontario on the 1st, I was greeted by the most courteous staff I have ever encountered. We wanted to use... more

I stayed with a friend at this hotel for 3 days during the month of August last year. We both are in our early-twenties; and this was the second time we were visiting the Capital! The hotel staff was exceptional. We got there an hour or two earlier than our check-in time, and they were more than willing to let... more
