Centretown

"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."

The room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the staff was nice. Plus, free parking and free Wi-Fi in the heart of the city can't be beaten. It’s straightforward and simple, but excellent value for your money. Would stay again for a quick weekend trip."

Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

8/10 Good

"Pretty clean, check-in and check-out was seamless. I would recommend"

The Business Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The best thing about The Business Inn in Ottawa was its prime location. It’s right next to restaurants, stores, and tourist attractions, and the quiet neighbourhood and short walk to the Rideau Canal are also great perks. Plus, the feeling of being at home was a huge plus. The breakfast wasn’t as fancy as high-end hotel fare, but it was still good. It was an all-you-can-eat deal with options like cereals, breads and spreads, muffins, packed sandwiches, egg bites, coffee, milk, juice drinks, and bottled water."

The Ora Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the staff was helpful. They don't clean the room everyday, which was no problem for us. The bed was comfortable and the location was great. The breakfast options are limited, there is no cable tv (just streaming options) and the bathroom is a bit too small."
