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.

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.
