Louise Canada

Location , room, breakfast are all great! Walk distance to city centre Easy to visit famous places within 10-15 min walk Cleaning is daily

Lisa Canada

great location, room was very comfortable and sound proof. Breakfast was amazing.

Fabiane Canada

We loved everything about our stay. The location was perfect, room was clean, and he had access to a courtyard garden from our room. Breakfast was really good. We don’t plan on heading back to Ottawa as we like to see new places all the time, but if we do we would definitely stay here again.

Brittany Canada

Nice clean & cozy & the location was perfect.

Rory Canada

the staff is very nice and friendly. The location was perfect.

Paola Canada

Nice, slightly old school hotel. Close to most sites and Byward market.

Colin Canada

clean, staff wonderful, close to everything, full breakfast, great price

Susan Canada

We have stayed here several times before and will always choose to stay here when we travel for short stays in Ottawa. The location is perfect and parking convenient and more than reasonably priced. This time we were given a front-facing room on the 4th floor, with a spacious, sunny private patio with a great (sideways) view. The room was clean and the service efficient and friendly. The included breakfast was great, plenty of choice, and we actually took it up to our room to eat. For people who have dissed the breakfast, remember you are NOT staying at the Ritz!! Checkout was a breeze.

The staff and location were great. The balcony was great when construction across street had stopped.
