Yes, we do! We offer free jail tour daily for our guests at 11 am and it is the most beloved activity at our hostel as our building was the oldest jail in Ottawa so almost everything historical that you find is authentic, including jail cells and gallows! We also provide other occasional or weekly activities depending on availability.

We do provide linens so you don't have to carry your own. However, you can always use both yours and ours if needed!

Yes, we have lockers in shared dorms but you need to bring your own lock. Of course you can also easily buy one from the many convenience stores nearby in downtown Ottawa!

There is no deposit required. For more information on our policies, you may give us a call. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi there, feel free to give us a call so we can help you with making reservations and answering all policy-related questions.

Check-out is always at 11 am the next day. No late check-out is allowed.

We have all-day front desk to assist you.

Hi friend, the single room is too small to fit a bike but we have safe outdoor area for bikes.

Yes, we provide linens and towels!

Yes, we do and its free!

Dear guest, unless you select the reservation type that requires prepayment, you can pay upon arrival. Cheers!

Dear guest, the cell is private. However, due to the nature of our building, it is not soundproof as the door has open bars on top and bottom. We hope the authentic experience will make up for that and your understanding is deeply appreciated.

We require a credit card to make and hold the reservation. If you choose the Standard Rate upon reservation, you can pay with cash or debit upon check in.

Since our rooms are either shared hostel-style dorms or private rooms converted from original jail cells, they are not very good at being soundproof per se. However, we strictly enforce quiet hour policy at night and provide free earplugs on site. So if you find the noise to be a little over the top, talk to our 24/7 staff at the front desk and we will do our best to sort things out for you!

Hi there, we are very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, for any reservation longer than 2 weeks, the guest must get approval from our management in person. Also, we do not provide monthly rate at all. Thank you for understanding and we sincerely hope things will get better for you.

Bathrooms for cell rooms are shared, located at the end of hallways of each floor.

Dear guest, unfortunately, the kitchen is closed at the moment. The dining room is still open with reduced capacity and we are still serving a bagged breakfast.
