Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the room felt a bit small for the price. The location was great for exploring the nearby attractions, but the dining experience left something to be desired.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were huge and very comfortable, but unfortunately, they were outdated. The location was excellent, close to many attractions, but my room was small and poorly situated in a corner facing an office building at the back of the hotel.
The hotel was nicely situated within walking distance of major attractions like The National Gallery and Parliament Hill. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with friendly cleaning staff. However, the room at the back lacked a view and felt small for the price, missing amenities like a mini fridge. The value for money could be better.
My stay at this 5-star hotel was underwhelming. Despite the large and comfortable rooms, the lack of soundproofing made it hard to enjoy the stay, and the pool was a bit murky, not meeting my expectations for the value.
I had a mixed experience at this 5-star hotel. The rooms were very clean and the bed was incredibly comfortable, but the pool wasn't as clear as I'd hoped. The spacious room had a nice view of the park and the hotel's proximity to major attractions was a plus, though I expected more for the value.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, it was very quiet despite its central location, and the rooms were spotlessly clean as shown in the pictures. However, the lack of a couch and the small room size were noticeable downsides, and the cold temperature due to the windows was a bit uncomfortable.
The hotel is a cozy gem nestled in the heart of Ottawa, offering a comfortable stay with a nice park view. While the rooms were slightly dim on arrival, they were still pleasant and featured a lovely double width shower. The service was exceptional, with a warm and friendly staff providing useful suggestions and amenities like skate rentals. The location is ideal for exploring Ottawa's top attractions, just a stone's throw away from the lively market, parliament, and museums. The dining experience, though a bit pricey, offered delicious dishes; however, the hotel is currently undergoing renovations. Overall, a stay at this heritage hotel exceeded my expectations, being close to iconic landmarks and providing a delightful experience.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable with a nice bath, but the noise from the airco units outside was bothersome. The location was fantastic for exploring the city, but the view from my room wasn't great. The service was top-notch thanks to Mohamed, but there were some delays due to new staff. The dining experience fell short of expectations, and the prices were a bit high for the quality. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is a charming historical gem located right in the heart of downtown Ottawa. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well laid out with a great shower space in the bathroom. The service was efficient and friendly, with phenomenal valet drivers that were very personable and accommodating. The location is superb, within walking distance of key attractions like Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal. However, the dining experience was ordinary, and the food quality did not meet expectations. Despite this, the hotel offers great value for its prime location and friendly staff.
The hotel is centrally located near all the main attractions of the city, making it perfect for visiting Ottawa. The rooms, while comfortable and clean, lacked a couch and were small. The service was absolutely fantastic, offering a range of convenient amenities for about $18/day. The location is amazing, being close to everything, but the additional $30.00 for valet parking was a downside. The dining experience in the lobby restaurant was described as grim, reminiscent of an old-style eatery, after paying a steep $250 for the night. Despite this, the hotel is central to all sightseeing and provides a welcoming environment for guests.
