Lock in a great price for ByWard Blue Inn – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent Breakfast! Ideal Location very close to downtown, Parliament Buildings. Staff very friendly!

Robert, Canada

The Byward Blue Inn is a fabulous place to stay. Great central location with many restaurants within walking distance as well as numerous tourist attractions. We loved that we were supplied with a kitchenette with real cutlery, plates, and glasses, including wine glasses and coffee mugs. An added bonus was the bathrobes that came with the room. Breakfast and afternoon tea are a great treat.

Robin, Canada

The location is great, the front desk staff are friendly and helpful! Rooms are clean and cozy. Breakfast offers good range of hot and cold options.

Lori, Canada

The beds were very comfy, and it was a spacious suite. Very good for travelling with families. Breakfast was better than expected.

The hotel was cozy and cute. Plus very clean. The free afternoon tea from 3:00 to 5:00 was a welcomed experience after a long train trip.

The ad advertised parking. When I asked at the hotel about parking I was told initially about a pay lot beside the building. When I expressed disappointment that the parking was not included I was then told about free street parking overnight. Guests should be told up front about services and options. Guests are usually not aware of parking bylaws. If you offer parking in your ad, if it is not free, say so.
Location was perfect, it was very clean.
