Lord Elgin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really helpful staff. Clean and safe environment. Would definitely stay here again. Excellent location."

Metcalfe Hotel Ottawa by Gray Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This was a pleasant surprise. A quaint Clean updated smaller boutique style hotel in excellent walkable location. Stroll to the parliament building buildings, to the Canal and River walks, and tons of small shops, pubs, and outdoor patios, grocery store, and beer store, and the train that goes to the airport. It had it all."
