“This hotel is extremely well located. When we checked in the staff was very friendly and help us solve a minor booking issue. They also helped us find the best way to see the sights in the surrounding area. The room was newly renovated and we found it very comfortable. The hotel has an indoor pool which was a little cold but acceptable. the parking costs $26 per day which was fair. All in all it was a good stay.”
“The restaurant was quite overpriced. I liked the room, but honestly I dont think it is worth ~400 CAD without breakfast (May, 2026) per night. The hotel offers some "hidration stations", where you can fill your water bottle or ice bucket. These stations are not present in all floors, but only a few selected ones (you need your room card to access this room). The water pressure at the room could be better. The room was almost quiet but i dont think is sufficiently soundproofed from the corridor, and we can hear the Ottawa train passing. Service was nice, everyone is very kind and show a real willingness to help. The location is good. It is close to most of what the city can offer in terms of tourism. I would probably not stay there again, at least not at full price. I just dont feel like it is worth the price, they dont even include the breakfast. Breakfast is around $35 CAD on weekdays and $26 CAD on weekends (no omelets), before taxes.”
“We had an absolutely fantastic stay. Our room was newly renovated, beautifully designed, and offered a spectacular view overlooking the river, the Supreme Court, and Parliament — truly a highlight of the experience. Although the executive lounge was closed during our visit, the hotel made up for it by offering complimentary starters at the restaurant each evening, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. It added a special touch to our nights and made us feel well taken care of. The gym facilities were another standout feature — spacious, modern, and very well equipped, making it easy to keep up with workouts while traveling. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good variety of options to start the day right. The quality and service met expectations and contributed to a smooth morning routine. Finally, the hotel’s location is excellent, making it easy to explore the surrounding area and access key attractions. Overall, a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. We would definitely consider coming back.”
“Stayed at this hotel recently and had a great experience! The place was very clean and it’s in a perfect downtown location with so many things around, which made everything super. The only thing I wish is that the lounge was open, but they still offer a lot of great amenities so it didn’t take away from the stay too much. The staff were honestly amazing. I was helped by a trainee with black hair, and she was helpful and knew exactly what to say. Everyone was so kind, and even the bellman went out of his way to help a lot. Very knowledgeable. really great service and a great stay!”
