Overall, the hotel is ok. Rooms are pretty clean however they are quite tiny! I was orginally happy when I booked this hotel because I thought I was getting a good deal, $109/night. However, I am now extremely upset at the price I paid as during the first night of our stay my car was broken into, significantly damaging the... more

Rooms are clean and comfortable but tiny! I have stayed here numerous times (it's conventiently located downtown) but as another traveller mentioned, it is rare to get a room which is not dominated by the bed - I tend to get one layout which has ~30cm between the desk and the bed, making it diffifult to work there. more

WARNING TO ALL TRAVELLERS In May 2009 I travelled to Ottawa to attend an international conference (I am a university professor ). Upon arrival (7pm), I was asked to secure payment for four nights with a credit card. I explained I was travelling with a pre-paid credit card and could not put the entire amount on the card. As I... more

The Novotel is located conveniently near public transport and walking distance from a mall and many restaurants. The downtown area is a little way off though. My room was not very large, and most of it was occupied by the King sized bed. The view from the room was not bad. Breakfast was not included in the room rate but... more

The hotel is located across the street from the Rideau Centre mall which was a convenient place to pick up breakfast each morning. It is also within walking distance of the museums, Parliament and Sparks Street. We stayed for the marathon weekend and it was about a five minute walk to the start and from the finish .The beds were... more

There is free internet in the foyer and you can have free wireless in the room. There is a coffee maker in the room with both caffienated and decaffineated coffee. Also in the room is a divan... more

This hotel, is the cleanist we have ever stayed in....Layout in each room is odd . It is cramped -AND sitting on couch we both got a crimp in our neck watching the mounted tv on wall . Couch too close to screen . No fridge is a bummer as well . When you pay for a suite you expect... more

Second stay in this hotel. Still a basic good business hotel. Quiet and convenient for Byward Market and Rideau Canal. Just a few minutes walk to the Parliment Buildings, the Rideau Canal and the National Art Gallery. Only real negative is the cost of the drinks in the fridge in the room, but the vending machine on Floor 5 was... more

My husband and I stayed at the Novotel Ottawa in late January. We booked a Jr. Suite, which was perfect for us -- we had a living room in which to hang out, watch TV, eat the occasional pizza (I think it was from a place called Gabriel's and was closest to Chicago-style pizza), and a small bedroom in which... more
