“Perfect stay in a perfect location! Love it!”

There's nothing to dislike about the Byward Blue! You get value for your money, a great location, and perfect rooms! The staff are very friendly and make you feel so welcome, any time of day (yes, even when you come in quite late at night!).
We enjoy the location so much: just park the car for three days of discovering Ottawa! We also like the "high tea" in the afternoon, with just enough of a snack to get us through with a brief pause from walking and sightseeing, but not so much that we're not hungry by suppertime. Excellent restaurants are so close: Kochin Kitchen, Das Lokal, and lots of others within easy reach!

I don't like the on site parking. Often not available, not that convenient when available due to small and tight area for parking. Parking in public lot right next door is a better idea. Also, I don't like that breakfast doesn't start until 7 am. Most hotel breakfasts are available from 6 or 6:30 am. I'm an early riser, so I usually have to go elsewhere for breakfast when staying here.
Everything else is good or better than good. Which is why I stay here frequently when in Ottawa.

This is very suitable for couples or people travelling in groups. However, solo travellers might probably want to stick to cheaper accomodation or hostels. That being said, I think saw quite a number of guests staying on their own so if you’re ok with that, then this hotel is great.
The rooms are very clean and the bathrooms are well maintained. I had no trouble sleeping at all in this hotel. Moreover, the provision of a safe and an iron made my stay very convenient. The breakfast spread is adequate and provides a variety of breakfast items to suit the preferences of many. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a slightly cheaper yet more comfortable place to stay.
