It was a super comfortable stay. The accommodation is spacious and the location is pristine. Without paying top tier prices, you can’t find a better location. I’d stay in UOttawa Residence again.

Minimalist Travel

The best aspect of this stay is its convenient location downtown—easy walking distance to By-ward market, the Capital buildings & galleries. The room wasn’t serviced once in our four-night stay. Not at all comfortable—the towels, blankets, mattresses & pillows were very low quality.

It was very convenient, a few minutes walk to the university building we were going to. I was very thankful for the easy parking lot right outside of the residence. Full sized fridge with freezer was great. I realize it is residence, well used, but I thought the price was high for the condition of the rooms; in comparison to some nice hotels I stayed in recently, only about $20-30 more for higher end. Each of the 2 rooms was supposed to have a smart tv but 1 room had an old tv with nothing on it. The tv in the other room was Roku with lots to watch so I had to invade the other guest’s room. Not the end of the world, just not what we expected with the info we had. We also received a notification that Rogers was going into all the rooms one day whether you answered your door or not between 10-6. I didn’t love the idea of someone coming in while I was away but assumed they would be escorted by university staff. I happened to be there when they showed up, he was less than a minute but the Rogers employee was alone, unescorted. They only offer room cleaning every 3 days and I believe you have to request it as there is no do not disturb doorknob hanger which was fine as I prefer my privacy and I clean up after myself. The beds are a little sad looking but surprisingly comfortable. Great option if you get a good deal and aren’t particular about aesthetics.

Great Location, Tricky to Find

Basic, no-frills accommodation near the Byward Market. With all the construction happening nearby, it was tricky to get to, but the campus is lovely. We thought the kitchen would have more than à microwave and fridge as the email said we needed to bring our own cooking utensils and pots (which we did), so we were a little disappointed to find no hot plate or hob.

Everything was close by, so it was very convenient! Definitely great if you are walking! The parking was a bit tough as we’d figured we could park on campus lot, but it’s for pass holders from 7am-3pm. We found a place close by though. Staff was awesome! Lots of space & great rooms! Amenities were great. They gave us extra things like blankets & toilet paper. Loved it! Felt safe! Thank you! I’d def stay again!
