Studio Apartment with King Bed – Near Chinatown

Studio Apartment with King Bed – Near Chinatown Overview

First Impressions

The Studio Apartment with King Bed – Near Chinatown isn’t your typical hotel experience — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work. Located on Somerset Street West, this four-star property feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than checking into a standard hotel room. The building itself has that solid, understated Ottawa charm you find in this part of the city, and you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re traveling.

The Space

The studio layout is actually quite clever — they’ve managed to create distinct areas without making the space feel cramped or awkward. The king bed dominates one corner (and it’s genuinely comfortable, not one of those hotel beds that looks better than it feels), while the kitchen area gives you enough room to actually prepare meals if you want to skip eating out every night. I mean, Ottawa has great food, but sometimes you just want to make coffee the way you like it or grab a late-night snack without calling room service. The whole setup feels lived-in rather than sterile, which couples seem to really appreciate — they’ve rated the location 8.5 for romantic getaways, and I can see why.

Location & Neighborhood

Being near Chinatown puts you in one of Ottawa‘s most interesting pockets, honestly. You’re walking distance from some of the city’s best pho joints and dim sum spots, but you’re also close enough to downtown that you can easily explore the ByWard Market or catch a show without dealing with complicated transit routes. Somerset Street West itself has this nice mix of local businesses and everyday conveniences — there’s a grocery store nearby if you want to stock that kitchen, and the whole area has this lived-in neighborhood feel that tourists don’t always get to experience. Recent guests have given the location an 8.0 rating, and after spending time in the area, that makes complete sense.

What Makes It Work

The thing about this place is that it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You’re not getting a fancy lobby or a restaurant downstairs, but you are getting a genuinely comfortable space that feels like home base for exploring Ottawa. The apartment style means you have room to spread out, store your stuff properly, and actually relax between sightseeing sessions. There’s something refreshing about having your own space rather than feeling like you’re camping out in a hotel room for days at a time.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back to this place because it strikes that sweet spot between independence and comfort. You get the privacy and space of having your own place, but with the reliability and cleanliness standards you expect from a four-star property. The location consistently gets high marks because it’s genuinely useful — you can walk to interesting neighborhoods, grab great food, and still feel connected to what makes Ottawa special. Plus, there’s something to be said for parking that doesn’t cost a fortune in this part of the city, which anyone who’s driven around downtown Ottawa will definitely appreciate.
