Guest Reviews
- Noel (6/5): J'y retournerais . - Pet friendly, chambre confortable. Frais élevé pour stationnement et chien. Vue sur système extérieur bruyant de ventilation. Porte de salle de bains non hermétique , laisse passer le bruit.
- Andrea (7/5): Very nice evening staff, unique looking hotel lobby - The rooms were clean and very modern Hard to get a coffee or breakfast at the hotel. They were understaffed in the morning
- D.G. (9/5): - - location
- judging from the reviews the industrial/loft/warehouse vibe is hated by many but i liked it esp. the pendant lights in wrought iron (?) cases
- lounge & bar in the lobby were very quirky and cute
- the tea blend with a grapefruit flavour (available at the front desk) - tea (& electric kettle) only available on request at the front desk unlike the coffee
- shower with only a partially frosted glass screen
- Lakhman (9/5): -
- DSteMarie (7/5): - L’hôtel comme tel est correct, les chambres sont propres et confortables mais minimalistes. Pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre, la vue inexistante.
- Wallbank (10/5): Great Hotel; Staff wonderful, clean and comfortable - Super clean, modern, comfortable in the room, very quiet! Parking was unavailable, but we parked at the municipal for free all weekend!
- Tatiana (9/5): - Adam à la réception était vraiment professional, gentil et Aidant! Ils nous a grandement aidé! Nous aurions préféré un lit king
- Ryan (8/5): friendly staff, comfy beds, would stay again - Clean, comfortable beds, chrome cast. Bit of a dead zone for nearby restaurants
- CAROLINE (8/5): Hôtel de qualité, joli design et bien placé pour découvrir la ville - Emplacement très pratique pour découvrir la ville - design de l'hôtel de qualité - la chambre est grande, bien équipée et joliment décorée Rien , tout était bien
- Sandip (6/5): Expensive torture - All staff I met were really nice, the bed was comfortable, and it’s all very clean and spacious. Location is excellent for all the main sites. Soundproofing was terrible in all directions of the room. This was compounded by the fact that there were raucous people constantly passing through in the early hours of the morning (2-6am). Whether it was gym people or drunk people (there is a bar and a gym in the hotel) it’s hard to know, but it meant no sleep both nights of my stay. Most frustrating considering the cost of the hotel.
I was kindly offered to be placed somewhere quieter if ever I stay again, but the irony is that on check in they had already tried to do this by placing me on the top floor…(such a waste of a comfortable bed too)
There was also a weird policy whereby they preferred you to pay with credit card (which would mean a surcharge for me to use abroad), as opposed to debit card with no extra charges. It was sorted in the end, but it meant I had to pay double the damage deposit because of it (??) I’m not used to that kind of policy but where hotels usually do this, it’s only ever a holding charge rather than a pay and refund so was quite frustrating to now be out over £100 while a refund goes through. I dunno if gym bros/drunk people have destroyed rooms before but I felt a bit put out and didn’t want to use anything in case they blamed a defect on me!
- Melissa (10/5): Parfait pour visiter Ottawa - L'hôtel est propre, bien équipé et moderne. Idéalement situé à proximité du métro et de restaurants.
Bar ouvert H24.
Sécurisé et calme.
Belle vue au 17eme étage Rien. S'il fallait chipoter : qu'il n'y ait pas de mini frigo en chambre mais pour 1 nuit, c'est du détail

- Sasan (6/5): Good but not satisfying - Location and cleanliness,also the staff are very nice The hotel has off-site parking for 35$ that is more expensive in comparison to other hotels that I ‘ve already experienced …no bottle of water and fridge in the room…you can ask for fridge…but I don’t understand why it should’nt be there..the hotel has no restaurant..just a bar and cafe for snacks and drinks that doesn’t have much stocks…I chose the hotel because it was close to my exam location…not good for leisure time
- Trisha (3/5): Central location, but not ideal for a vacation more suited for a single traveller for work - The television was very difficult to navigate, no room service was available, staff were reluctant to bring extra towels or change the bedding. Overall disappoint disappointment.

- Ingrid (7/5): Gutes Hotel mit gutem Frühstück - Lage gut, da in ca. 20 min zu Fuß in der Altstadt.
Parken im Hinterhof sehr gut
Hotel hat eine Dachterrasse und war sehr modern eingerichtet
Personal sehr freundlich
Sehr gutes Frühstück mit toller Müsliauswahl und frischen Waffeln. Im Zimmer altes Telefon und älteres Handy als Gegensatz zur Deko an der Wand, leider nicht als solches gekennzeichnet.
Bettdecke hatte Flecken.

- Shelly (8/5): We will return when back in Ottawa - Quiet & clean room. Great location for day tripping. Wonderful friendly staff. Liked the refillable options for shampoo etc. Great vibe with modern fixtures and high ceilings! The lights in bathroom should be brighter & the mirror was too high for me to use.
Didn’t know until arriving that parking was offsite and an extra expense. This may have been our fault for not inquiring. Found it hard to regulate the temperature in room.
- Catherine (9/5): - The reception area and cafe were great and my daughter particularly enjoyed playing pool and relaxing inside when it was super hot out or raining. The staff were lovely. Very convenient location. Be sure to check out the binder at reception with restaurant suggestions etc. An in-room safe, interior chain to lock door from inside, and individually controlled lights (when my daughter went to bed before I did, we either had to have all the lights on or all the lights off) would increase the comfort.
- Michelle (8/5): Had a great night sleep. - The property was in a great location. We were lucky and got packing at the lot very close by. I love how modern looking it was. It was very clean. The beds were very comfy. The hotel itself was clean and well-located, but the bathroom setup was a major disappointment. There was a window in the shower that opened directly into the room, and the bathroom door didn’t close properly — it didn’t latch or provide any real privacy. This design might work for a solo traveler, but for anyone else, especially those who value even a basic level of privacy, it’s a dealbreaker. It’s baffling that such an important detail was overlooked. Would not recommend for couples, friends, or families.
- Lynda (10/5): Merveilleuse - Le personnel très gentil et nous parlais et en français avec de belles idées pour visiter et nous orienter , d’ailleurs votremape de la ville que vous donnez c’est excellent pour ce qui est de la femme de chambre très gentille et propre
Deux fois que nous allons à votre hôtel et nous le recommandons à nos amis et familles
Bonne semaine à vous tous Un frigo dans la chambre nous en avions pas 😔

- Ingrid (9/5): I experienced excellent accommodation and service, and will definitely return. - Check-in was great, as was th equality of the room. Food and wine available at the cafe was high quality, and Rafael provided excellent service. The front desk was very helpful with taxicab requests, and giving walking directions. Please repair the hot water feature in the lobby water dispenser. Also, make sure the are clean glasses available. I went for water, and found only one glass. The cafe staff person addressed that situation when I pointed it out. The television was not properly connected. In fairness, i realize someone would have addressed that had I called the front desk, so this is minor. Lastly, the night before I left, I asked for a complete total of ALL CHARGES owing,. The front desk staff person wrote down $693.53. The next morning, the amount changed to $943.37.
- Diana (9/5): Sehr gerne wieder, falls wir erneut in der Stadt sind. - Die Lage ist hervorragend, das Zimmer schön groß und die Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich. Die Parksituation ist sehr unübersichtlich. Wir sind bei unserer Ankunft mehrmals um den Block gefahren und haben eher zufällig ein Parkhaus gefunden, welches nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt war.
