A great place to stay in Ottawa

My room was comfortable and exceptionally clean. A nespresso machine provided morning and evening coffees. The owner is a wonderful lady who is very helpful. There is both an indoor and outdoor sitting area, and she will make you a great latte to enjoy in either if you ask. The hotel is very conveniently located near to the Rogers Conference Centre (10 min walk straight to it) and the ByWard Market and its many eateries.

Nice and affordable downtown Ottawa accommodation

Great stay over, calm and beautiful street in the downtown area. Owner and hostess is charming and very helpful. Room is rather small but very well prepared and very clean and cost.
Roch, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient.
Ying, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The room is cozy and nice, and television is small. There is no body lotion or hair conditioner in room. One important thing to recognize is that their lobby hour is 8am to 10pm, and this is strictly kept. If you arrive by an early morning flight or somehow ended up arriving late at night, you will be in deep trouble. Perhaps this can cause some difficulty for time-sensitive business travels.

Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Spent almost a full week here, Feb 2025. Loved it, would definitely stay here again. Room was clean, cosy, and quiet. Everything was modern and everything worked. Sabina at the front desk was excellent. Super friendly and helpful. Hotel is a 5 minute walk from pretty much everything in downtown Otawa. Close to Rogers Centre, Parliament, Rideau Centre, Rideau Canal, shopping, and dining.
