Really a 3.5 rating, it took 4-5 minutes to get hot water and the room was hot with no ac to cool it down. Thankfully could open the window. Breakfast had bacon... so 3 stars for that alone

Great little Euro style hotel. Had 2 twin beds. Balcony, really nice washroom. Tiny kitchenette which was beautifully finished. Newly renovated small location. Seemed very private right in Byward market. Walk to everything even with a foot of snow. Breakfast was decent, bacon eggs has browns and all the breads etc you would want for a quick out the door morning snack. Reasonable underground parking in downtown. Will definitely return.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is a cozy and quaint inn, it has nice character and charm. It’s not a modern hotel at all, but it’s like a giant 5 storey house boutique hotel. It’s very convenient to walk to ByWard market and Rideau Downtown as well the Parliament building. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The downside of it is the limited parking space, only less than 10 spots available. The rate was very good for what it’s worth. I booked one night then extended after I confirmed my stay in Ottawa.

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.

This was the second time staying here and it met all our expectations and then some. The hotel is quaint and comfortable, our room had two twin beds with a little kitchenette and a balcony. Everything is very clean, the staff is very accommodating to help out or answer any questions, free water is provided in your fridge, a full breakfast every morning is a definite bonus. It's location can't be beat, just steps away from the byword market area with lots of restaurants and shopping. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
