Truly an experience - beds were very comfy. Our private room was very simple - the hostel was not too busy so it really was private - so no issue with shared bathrooms. Towels were soft and fluffy. Weather was very cold outside but inside the jail was warm. The jail tour was great and kitchen was really good. We will def be back. Location is hard to beat!

Stayed here two nights. The place itself is interesting with lots of history. Loved the original cells on the 8th floor. Check in/out was easy, everyone working there is nice. Hostel itself is clean, bed was comfortable. People were quiet at night; earplugs were also available in the room. Breakfast had nice options. Hostel is near the mall and very close to parliament. Great location. Overall I really enjoyed this place.

It was a fun experience! I decided on only one night because I don't like sharing a toilet and shower. However, there were hardly any inmates in my "cell block" so it felt very relaxed. The place is immaculately clean and the breakfast was very adequate (bagels, cereals, hard boiled eggs, etc). The location is fabulous, 2 streets to Rideau Street and a short walk to the ByWard Market, which has good artisanal shops and great restaurants.

This hostel offers perfect location and so many stories. The staffs are very welcoming and helpful during my stay. I will shout out personally to Olivia (?) who always gave the tours (jail tour and city walks) during my stay. She did an amazing job! Breakfast is also exceptional for a hostel, you will have varieties of fruits, breads, spreads, cereals, and of course boiled eggs! They also have a lot of fun activities that you cannot miss. All in all, it was such a great experience to stay at this hostel.

Very interesting hotel. Only spent one night there. Within walking distance of downtown Ottawa and cheap parking for the area. Comfortable and social communal area.

The location was amazing. A perfect place for a small get away with friends for a very good price, with the Hostel being a minute away from a mall and a main street with tons of restaurants, bars, and gallerias. What is not to enjoy?

The location of the hostel is spot on, the Rideau Centre is 5mins walk, all the good stuff and eateries are walking distances. It also has secured entry that gets updated with a code daily. The Internet was pretty effective too, no spotty connections.
