"Location is fantastic - tucked a few doors away from the bars and restos on Elgin. Just a short stroll to all of the sites and the canal. The Inn is an old home there can be a lot of noise transfer from other rooms but better than the street noise at some of the hotels closer to Spark St......the 3rd floor is a bit of a climb up the stairs if that is an issue for you. Rooms were cozy and comfy. Breakfast was a great bonus for a few bucks. Super friendly staff."

Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Ok"

The Business Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent experience with the hotel! My. Room is. Spacious and has everything I need . Breakfast was definitely a plus with variety of the choices for the guests. Also like to mention the friendly staff there especially Lina who was at the frond desk, I was impressed with her professionalism and smile! Will stay there if visit again."

Metcalfe Hotel Ottawa by Gray Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The Metcalfe Hotel in Ottawa was fantastic for our one night getaway. Front desk staff provided great service from the moment we arrived, and the dining experience was equally standout, the floor manager even made a point to come out during breakfast service to ask how everything was. The rooms are modern and stylish, featuring quality bath products and a comfortable, firm bed that made for a great night’s sleep. The overall amenities on site looked excellent, though our quick stay didn't leave us with enough time to fully take advantage of them all. Quick tip: Instead of paying the $45 hotel parking rate, we parked down the street at Ottawa City Hall for about $25, which was convenient and budget-friendly. Highly recommended!"
