“The hotel places you squarely in ByWard Market, a prime spot for exploring Ottawa's culinary scene and cultural landmarks. Rooms provide a comfortable, practical base-some even include balconies-while the free breakfast and afternoon tea add a welcome touch. It's a solid choice if you value location and convenience over sprawling luxury.”

Solid Choice Near Attractions
nice balconyonsite parkinggood varietynoisy ac
My queen room included a nice balcony. Though I did not use it extensively due to the weather. Onsite parking was available. I found the breakfast offered a good variety with fresh choices, a plus before heading out for the day.
The AC unit was pretty noisy. It made it difficult to sleep well. It also struggled to cool the room adequately. This issue definitely impacted my overall comfort during the night.
Rooms
8/10
The room featured basic amenities, like a small fridge, and it was generally clean, though the decor was a little dated. The beds had fresh linen, and there was plenty of space to store my belongings for a few days. I appreciated the turndown service each evening.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast included a range of options from pastries to fruit. The dining area was a bit small. It sometimes felt crowded during peak hours. The coffee machine produced fresh brews, so it started each morning well.
Location
10/10
This place is near shops and restaurants, so accessing dining and retail options was easy. Though, it could get noisy at night. Parliament Hill was also within a reasonable walking distance. The convenience made exploring effortless!
Facilities

The hotel provided complimentary WiFi. I was able to conduct business and keep in touch without any interruptions. The front desk staff were also available twenty-four hours a day. They helped with directions and luggage storage. The small gym included a treadmill and some free weights.

the room had a balcony, amazing. i could get fresh air inside. i also loved how super clean the rooms are. the location is right by the market too. it was a really great choice, especially since the place is completely renovated.
i found the rooms were too close together with not much sound proofing. i could hear other guests talking, and kids screamed so loud. i had to check out, as this was not acceptable. it was hard to rest.

The breakfast was not great! Only eggs and croissants were available. They tasted bland. The air conditioning unit was also very loud and woke me up during the night. It was hard to get a good night's sleep because of this.
