Mike, Canada

The hotel is on a quiet road but you only have to walk 100 yards and you are right in the road with bars and restaurants. The hotel includes a good breakfast. Also the little things - a bottle of drinking water in the fridge is filled up every day ...

William, United Kingdom

Extremely great location close to Byward Market and more restaurants than you can imagine. We walked all over Ottawa from here. We had a 4th room with terrace where we brought our Market funds back to eat out there. We had views of Parliament and of the Chateau Laurier. Wonderful! The tea in the afternoon was great as well!

Danalee, United States of America

The property was very clean, convenient for Byward Markets and other sightseeing. A bonus was afternoon tea every afternoon between 3 and 5 pm. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Philip, Australia

There were many thoughtful touches in the room e.g. Crockery, wine glasses, a tea pot. Excellent breakfast variety. Very convenient for Parliament Hill and other attractions and loads of eating places. Parking very secure.

Leslie, United Kingdom

The location and breakfast were great! The room was very nice with a comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly. We would return.

“Disappointing”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Queen Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉This is not what you think of when you envision a boutique hotel. There is no central air conditioning. The air conditioner sits in the room and is quite noisy. The bed and bedding are not comfortable. The furnishings are more dorm room than boutique hotel--open shelves made from particle board and a rod for clothing. No carpet and the laminate floor was buckling in numerous places.
눇The location was excellent.
