University of Ottawa Residence

10/10 Excellent

"nice for the price, would stay again"

Fairmont Chateau Laurier

10/10 Excellent

""Perfect is an understatement! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The room was spotless, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the fast Wi-Fi made it easy to catch up on work. We also loved the central location, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. Highly recommend and we will certainly be back!""

Ottawa Embassy Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean upon arrival, No complaints there. I did however run into a shortage of cleaning supplies and products to clean dishes and no dish soap, cleaning sponges, and a broken element on our stove top when trying to cook. Exhaust fan did not even work / broken. Staff / front desk staff was accommodating with grabbing us supplies to clean our dishes etc… We also had an issue with parking as its first come first serve on site, wasn’t aware of that until we got to the hotel. But was quickly fixed by going to city hall parking which the staff had notified us of and was accommodating that way."
