Top Byward Market Square Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre was an excellent place to stay during my trip to Ottawa. The location is ideal situated just across the river in Gatineau, making it a convenient and slightly quieter base while still being a short drive or walk to Parliament Hill and downtown Ottawa attractions. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and provided great views of the area. The staff was welcoming, and overall it offered great value compared to staying right in the center of downtown Ottawa. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ottawa."

Byward Blue Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptionally clean room with many items provided. Kettle and coffee machine too. A fantastic breakfast which surpassed all expectations. Amazing staff who look after their customers exceedingly well."

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to explore Ottawa for a few days. Close enough to walk to the major spots and fair enough from the busyness. It was nice having an apartment style suite to cook meals. Friendly staff."

Les Suites Hotel Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay, well situated"

reStays Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, close to all attractions in Ottawa. All within walking distances. Used the gym which was fine. Would recommend"

Metcalfe Hotel Ottawa by Gray Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay near the main area of Ottawa, you can literally walk to all the famous spots around and the in house cafe serves amazing coffee and other food items."

The Ora Hotel, BW Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are exceptionally clean and well equipped. Staff are very friendly and helpful."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Downtown Ottawa East by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nicely kept hotel. Not the best location but convenient close to downtown."

Fairmont Chateau Laurier

8/10 Good

"I was surprised to learn during our stay that this hotel was THE place to stay in back when traveling by train was the norm, with it sitting right next to Ottawa's main railway station. The informative signs detailing the many famous figures and dignitaries that have visited the chateau over the years was very intriguing to me. I could certainly see why it has earned such a reputation as the room itself was spacious, well-decorated, and comfortable. Furthermore, the money spent on having a view over Parliament Hill was well worth it, as it made for excellent sights both day and night when we were relaxing there. Although we lamented the lack of a microwave it was hard to find fault with the grandeur of the room itself. I would say that the main things that offset our wonder during this stay were the lack of on-site parking (I don't like trusting my vehicle to a valet, but that's just me), the hecticness of traffic in the surrounding area (which is admittedly a given in a capital city), and the lack of adequate staff members in some areas of the hotel. The latter was mainly seen by us during breakfast, where there were too few people available to serve the sheer volume of guests, some of whom were rather demanding as a result. My wife and I felt rather sorry for the staff who were clearly trying their best, so my hope is that others have brought this up and that it will eventually be addressed."
