The room was a really good size, and had a great balcony (although being winter, couldn't really utilize it). Very good location in the Byward Market. Had parking on site. Breakfast was good in the morning, with a number of different options. Overall, a very good experience.

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).

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.
