Because the hotel was full the night before, I wasn’t able to check in early. They gave me a quiet place to take some business calls and they were very accommodating. I would stay here again and recommend that others do as well.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This is a little piece of Europe in downtown Ottawa - a couple blocks off the main drag in a quiet neighborhood. The owner has been a hotelier for decades, and it shows - all the details well taken care of. Fair warning - no elevator in the building, so rooms on levels 2 & 3 necessitate a bit of a hike up the stairs. Would strongly recommend, price is great, snd will stay again.
