The Lord Elgin Hotel is a classic and charming old school hotel close to the sites, restaurants and coffee shops in Ottawa. We've stayed at the Lord Elgin Hotel a few times when seeing family in the area and always have a lovely stay here.

Location was good. Rooms were big enough.
Kelly from Canada (8/10)
The location is excellent. We left our car in the parking garage for 2 days and walked everywhere – museums/shopping/restaurants and the Rideau Canal Skateway. I really like that there was a small fridge in the room which we used. Bed and bath linens were good quality/clean. Everything was very good which we expected for a 4 star hotel. We would stay here again for a short stay.
Ricardo from Canada (9/10)

Hicham from Canada (7/10)
