This was my second time staying here, and the front desk remembered me from my previous stay. We arrived early and they let us check in right away. A great location right near the Byward Market, but not too close so the nightlife didn't bother our rest. A nice cozy room that is perfect for couples. Highly recommend.

Verified review

6/10 Good

The best things was the hot breakfast. It’s a bit pricey for what seems to be a dorm room and the shower pressure was low on the 2nd Floor. Hallways and elevator in this apartment are tight when meeting other customers with luggage.

10/10 Exceptional

I was delighted with my experience. Staff were available and friendly. I was greeted by an immaculate living area and bathroom with bathrobes, abundant towels and wash clothes. Bare floors throughout is a welcome change from hotel carpeting. There's a quick elevator and plenty of room to hang clothes and belongings as well as a sink, frig, microwave and dishware. It's located in Byward Market near clubs and restaurants. I am moving this to the front of my list of places to stay in Ottawa.
