"Great hotel! Very clean and comfortable!"

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and clean. Separate bedroom for my husband and myself. Pullout sofa for my grandson. Stayed 3 nights Aug 2026. 15th floor room with kitchen/dining table and balcony. Would have appreciated a dish towel to dry plates etc and perhaps a sachet of clothes washing liquid as there is a washing machine and tumble dryer in your unit.i had forgotten to bring from home. Lift was a bit hit and miss and took a long time to get up/down to the lobby or pool. The price we paid and its proximity to main tourist attractions was excellent. Parking for the 3 nights was an additional $33 but was in secure parking garage under property. Close to restaurants and Rideau Canal."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Ottawa

This allows visitors to enjoy attractions such as museums, art galleries, and vibrant live music scenes, as well as opportunities for running, walking, and shopping along the picturesque riverside. With the potential for lower prices during these months, travellers can experience a wealth of cultural offerings while keeping their trip affordable and great value for money.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute hotel deals in Ottawa, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your trip.

Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates could help you find a better deal on your stay in an Ottawa hotel.
