Excellent little hotel in Ottawa!

Excellent boutique hotel in the heart of Byward Market in Ottawa. There a ton of food and drink options nearby and the hotels breakfast was great with really good food and attentive staff. Easily one of my fave hotels in Canada (this being my second time staying there and we will come back for sure).
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms were basic, but clean. Ours had a large balcony which was a bonus. Location is great. Easy walk to many bars, restaurants, and tourist areas. Note that there is only parking for 8 in the hotel underground lot so pre-book if you have that option! The included breakfast buffet had a decent selection of choices, well stocked, and good quality. Great value all around.

Larry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and quiet. Staff were helpful and kind. Only concern was the mattress was VERY soft and not that comfortable. Also, if a guest is interested in watching TV (we weren’t), it was not working. The location is perfect for exploring Byward Market area, government buildings and the canal. Thank you for a nice stay!

I have a confession, I've been gatekeepering this place for over 6 years hoping nobody would notice how great it really is. Ok, thats a lie. Truth is I recommend The Byward Blue Inn to anyone I know who is traveling to Ottawa. The rooms are smallish but well kept, and always a bottle filtered spring water in the fridge. The rest of the hotel is always clean... and the breakfast. Simply the best bang for your buck or Euro, or whatever.
