It’s a classic old hotel that is starting to show its age. My room was very nice and comfortable but some furnishings a bit worn. One particular annoyance was the number of room service trays that were in the corridor left uncollected, it’s a bad look. Centrally located so can walk to all major sights and there is a shopping centre close by.

It's a great hotel, the staff were friendly and helpful. It is a nice location, close to historical sites, close to a large shopping mall if you like that kind of thing. Many good restaurants and bars within 5 - 10 minutes. Byward market is about 6 minute walk. Will stay there again next time we're in Ottawa.

The people to our right if facing window, knocked on our wall indicating we were too noisy even though we lowered our as one of the three had gone to sleep early. The people to our left were heard quite clearly but not shouting just using regular volume. Sound proofing should be improved. Although for myself I'd use ear plugs. It was only 9:30 when someone knocked on our wall. It was annoying as we were lowering our voices.
