"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."

Arc The Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff are pleasant, rooms are dated but clean and parking is limited. Overall a great location and would return. Thank you."

Metcalfe Hotel Ottawa by Gray Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I loved the room and hotel decor. Parking $$$ was a no go for me, but close enough alternatives were fine. Some room for improvement: the supplied hair conditioner was pretty horrible despite seeming to be marketed as higher-end. Also, the mini fridge was either unplugged, or more like a mini freezer, with my leftovers being partially frozen in 12 hours. Minibar items took up limited space in the fridge and drawers. Free-tier internet on wi-fi was as slow as a dial-up modem at times 😂"

reStays Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in different accommodation during our 16 day stay in Smith, Falls, Ottawa and Quebec. Restays was the best. Having a washer dryer in our suite was great. It was nice to be able to do our laundry before we moved onto our next adventure. The dishwasher and coffee maker with the pods of coffee was also much appreciated. The staff (this included the front desk, the house cleaners, and the maintenance people ) all who were wonderful and were always there for us when we needed them. I really appreciated the fact that I could ask for a bottle of water and would have no problem getting one or two right away. Another bonus was when we thought we were going to be rained on and they lent us an umbrella ."

Sheraton Ottawa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at this hotel was excellent the staff was really friendly, helpful, and did an excellent job with room cleaning. I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling to downtown Ottawa it is affordable and great. The staff even got a taxi ready for me do an early morning leave. Thank you for the wonderful service and hospitality!"
