The Gasthaus Switzerland is a small family hotel located near downtown Ottawa. It is within walking distance to most attractions. The room in which we stayed was roomy and clean. Breakfast is served daily and you can choose from a selection of warm and cold foods. There is a computer downstairs that guests can use who are not travelling with... more

As other reviews have stated I was also a little weary when I first arrived. THe Inn is relatively close to the Mens' mission and there are a few unsavoury characters on nearby streets. Having said this its pretty close to the Westin and other nearby hotels so if you stay there you have these people around anyway. My room... more

When I first arrived at the Gasthaus Switzerland Inn, I wasn't too sure if I had made the right choice. I walked a strange way from the Rideau Centre bus stop down a fairly unsavoury street, and when I arrived at around 11 in the morning the downstairs reception was dark and empty. However, I left my bags and returned... more

This B & B was amazing! Sabina and the staff were very helpful when asking where to go for dinner and giving directions. The location was very central and we could walk everywhere we wanted, including the Byward Market, Parliament Buildings, and the Rideau Center. On a rainy day Sabina lent us an umbrella, and when we had to check... more

If your criteria is merely for a clean, ultilitarian room with an ample breakfast buffet and a great location, then this property could fit the bill. However, if you believe a $140 a night B & B/Inn - even in a city - should also display a sense of caring in the room decor and a few niceties such as... more

In response to numerous inaccurate comments posted on march 4th of 2008, I feel the need to address the offences laid out regarding the interior presentation, as for amenities, of our rooms. I regret to hear that the temperature of your room was inadequate. Keep in mind that all our staff and I, owner of the Gasthaus, enshrine environmentally friendly...

I arrived on a very stressful 2-day business visit to Ottawa from Vermont, U.S., and ended up staying 4 days in the city. Since I did not have enough time to plan my trip, I booked the hotel 1 day before I arrived, expecting to deal with some old and small motel-type of a hotel. Instead, what I discovered was... more

The Inn is located in downtown and is an easy walk to all the sites you want to see. We stayed three days and never used our car which was good since parking is very limited. There are only 4 spots. Sabina is a lovely host and very informative about the city. Breakfast was nicely done although it was the... more

As everyone mentioned, this place is a great find. It's within walking distance to most Ottawa attractions, very clean and extremely comfortable, with a great breakfast. The owner is super friendly and very helpful. Our room had a sitting area and there were chocolates and champagne on ice when we arrived. The only negative is that there is not enough... more

We actually happened upon Gasthaus Switzerland about 10 years ago. It has only gotten better with time. The owners, Sabina and Josef have always been friendly and accommodating as has the house staff. Never once have I felt like I made mistake staying here. It's great that it's so close to the Byward Market, restaurants and the grocery store and... more

Nice location, short walk to the square. Street was relatively quiet (i.e. - college was not in session) except for the construction on the next building beginning both mornings shortly after 8 am. The breakfast offered a nice variety, very good, however, relatively the same both mornings. Street parking was available as we came and went during our 2 day... more
