Room 308 had a great view. the furnishing wonderful as well. The staff was friendly and eager to assist with our needs. I would highly recommend this B&B style hotel to anyone that prefers not to stay in the big chain hotels.

I stayed at the Swiss Hotel for two weeks at the end of March and had the most wonderful experience. My room (standard double) was clean and cozy, and I looked forward to coming back to the hotel after a long day at work. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with perfect pillows, mattress and sheets. Decor of the room makes... More

Quaint, small, B&B style hotel. We stayed in room 104, queen standard. Room was cozy but a little cluttered. Three sitting chairs, a desk, and a free standing closet seemed like a bit much for such a small room. Orange walls behind bed, hardwood floors and shag area rug are a warm touch. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. TV... More

I like quiet, small hotels. This one fits my specs. Recently renovated, clean, and in a quiet neighbourhood. Fifteen minutes walk from the Byward Market (a restaurant for every palate) and from the Rideau Centre (for your inner shopper) and to the major city bus interchange. Twenty minutes to Parliament Hill. Our room was small, but just right for our... More

Firstly let me say I was really looking forward to this hotel and wanted to love and expect it to knock my socks off but simply didn't.

Dear OmanRob, Thank you very much for staying with us, and for taking the time to write us this review. This neighborhood is beautiful and vibrant and predominantly characterized by student housing due to the Ottawa University being a few blocks away and heritage buildings (like ours!). The city has decided to pool many of its social services downtown, you... More

We thought the hotel was very nice , almost feeling as though we were in someone's home. Our room had a king-sized comfortable bed, a gas fireplace and a... More

Stayed in March. We found this to be a very nice, comfy, clean and well situated hotel. While the room was a bit on the small side (superior queen), it was very clean and comfy. The amenities were excellent as well (iPad including), as were the breakfast and the hostess. Luckily, there was plenty of parking during our stay,but I'd... More

Enjoyed a 4 night stay here with my husband during Winterlude in February. We had a room on street level and although it was not large, it was cosy and comfortable, with a great bed & pillows and stylish bathroom. There has obviously been a lot of thought put into the little extras in the room such as the ipad,... More
