Hotels in Ottawa

"This is a cheap and cheerful hotel in the heart of downtown Ottawa. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, willing to bend over backwards to make your stay a pleasant one. The rooms are surprisingly large, and even though they are oddly laid out (this must have been an apartment building at some time in its past) and the style is not at all modern, they are clean and have virtually everything you could possibly need, with extensive balconies showcasing some of the best of the city. The continental breakfast offerings are some of the best I've ever had; fresh. plentiful, varied, tasty, and available for a reasonable duration of time every morning. There is even parking onsite; the only drawback is that it's paid parking, and not cheap at that, but considering its location it's some of the best prices in the city. I have been twice now and I will come back as often as I can!"

"We stayed at the hotel for 6 nights, they had issues checking us in as the booking was made through trip.com which went through *******. Somehow they figured it out later. The room was spacious, clean. They provided room services every day except for one day when they were understaffed. Shower has only half door so be ready for some splashes. I recommend bringing your own body wash (they provide soap which is hard to wash off) and shampoo. People who can't sleep with noise in the room, should consider their options. Air conditioning is super loud (like factory machine) , it constantly woke us up at night, there is no option to open a window instead. Breakfasts are always the same, not a single thing changes: fried/boiled eggs, sausages, pork?cutlets, pancakes, apples, oatmeal, bread. The dining room was always overcrowded, the space should be at least twice as big. Sometimes we came and there was no food, so we had to wait for someone to come and bring food (they don't have a person there on a regular basis). I can't say our experience was bad, but it was not great either."

"For my first time staying overnight at Ottawa, I booked a hotel room for one night at Lord Elgin. Upon arriving early at the hotel, I was provided with a room before my check-in time - which was very appreciated. The facilities are clean and the staff is friendly. However, little did we know, our room on the 7th floor was connected to another room with adjoining doors. We were unable to sleep through the night as the room had little to no sound isolation from the connecting room, in which a baby was crying all night. I am baffled as to how we were able to hear every single noise: coughing and sneezing from the parents in the other room, their toilet flushing and the baby crying throughout the entire night. We were unable to sleep comfortably and woke up with splitting headaches. I booked this hotel to be the closest possible to the Rideau Canal Skateway, but I will have to find another hotel the next time."

"Good service, good location, in the residential area next to City Hall, quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The kitchen is perfect (although the equipment is a little old), the bathroom is a bit small, but if you need to find a kitchen, you can choose"

"There was no service water in the room. I was wondering how we could drink complimentary coffee in the morning. I'd appreciate it if they give us water instead of the welcome cookies."

"My accommodation in Ottawa this time was a hostel, uniquely converted from an old prison. The 8-bed dorm I stayed in once housed a notorious inmate. The hostel also preserved many of the prison's original features, such as anti-suicide nets in the stairwells, death row cells, and the former execution chamber. The prison's top floor housed a clinic, while the ground floor contained the kitchen and a multi-purpose hall. Historically, if anyone was injured in the kitchen, they would have to be tied up and carried up the narrow stairs. Since its establishment, only three inmates were ever executed here, one of whom was convicted of assassinating a Founding Father. My 8-bed dorm featured shared bathrooms and a laundry room, and a complimentary breakfast was provided. Additionally, a free guided tour of the old prison was offered daily."

"Great little hotel, and excellent location for my needs. Concierge service is always friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, nicely appointed and clean, and the beds are very comfortable. I love that I can cast my own streaming services to the in-room TV. The gym is small but has adequate machines and weight training equipment for a reasonable workout. The basement restaurant is spacious and the food is standard, though the prices are very high for what you get; there's a nice breakfast restaurant across the street for better value. All in all, a friendly little hotel with good security (considering its location), and I will be staying here again soon, and as often as I need to."

"Excellent location, right next to the Parliament. Parking is a bit inconvenient, but opting for valet parking is only $15 more than self-parking and incredibly convenient; they even help bring your luggage to the room. The housekeeping staff were all exceptionally friendly. This hotel exceeded my expectations, so I'm giving it a perfect score."

"Service was good. The location is good except for the way you have to enter the parking lot outside of the hotel. The room was big and very clean. Could have definitely been a better seating setup for the breakfast. But it was a good visit and I’ll definitely be back. I’d love to take advantage of the terrace in the summer time."

"The room was converted from two apartments. There are two bedrooms for three people, each with a large bed. There is also a simple kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, and sink. It is very cozy. The breakfast is also OK, with eggs, meat, fruit, coffee, milk, yogurt, various breads and cakes, etc. The location is also very good, close to the attractions. The overall feeling is good. The only problem is that there is no parking space in front of the hotel, and you need to park at your own expense, 15 yuan a day"
