"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."

Lord Elgin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Ottawa City Centre

8/10 Good

"The staff, from the front desk to the restaurant to the concierge are all really great. Friendly, helpful and generally making guests feel taken care of. The hard product, so to speak, the building itself, is showing signs of wear and tear and might need an upgrade."

A Voyageur's Guest House

8/10 Good

"En arrivant, il faut appeler un numéro indiqué dans la porte, car il y a une serrure à numéro. Dans notre cas, nous avons été bien reçus et les réponses données à nos questions. Nous avions une chambre double avec salle de bains commune. La chambre était propre, les draps frais, le matelas confortable, un réfrigérateur, un ventilateur, un service complet de télévision et le Wi-Fi. Veuillez appeler lors de votre réservation si vous avez besoin d’un stationnement, il y a deux places de stationnement et le stationnement de rue est de seulement une heure. C’est un endroit parfait pour dormir, car il est près de plusieurs services, restaurants et attractions touristiques. L’endroit est tranquille et sécuritaire."
