Friendly staff, rooms comfortable and great location.
Val from Canada (9/10)
Due to flight delays I was arriving at very odd time. I relayed the information during a stopover and the staff was present to welcome me upon arrival. Hotel is well located downtown and it is easy to walk everywhere. Night caps from the restaurant located in the hotel were absolutely tasty!

The staff, room and breakfast were all good.
Paula from Canada (9/10)
Breakfast was great. The room was good except a little crowded with furniture. Location for shopping and tourist attractions was excellent. I've stayed there a few times before (under the Novotel name) and will stay there again when coming to Ottawa. Nothing changed except the name; all remained a great place to stay.
Richard from Australia (8/10)
Well located for dinning and the icon attractions of the city
Karl from Canada (8/10)
Location was good – central to many restaurants and pubs, etc and also the major tourist attractions
Good restaurant on site, buffet breakfast was $30pp, definitely overpriced!
