Top Ottawa Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Ottawa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely the best stay for me and my family. We stayed 3 nights. The staff were just amazing, very helpful and accommodating. The rooms were very clean, the breakfast was superb, lot of choices for everyone. The fact it was included was a bonus! Free coffee all day all night. Parking underground was free as well and safe. We left the car there and just took an uber wherever we needed to go. I will stay only here when I’m back. It’s a keeper! What more can you ask for"

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay for our family. The location couldn’t be anymore perfect! Near to a grocery store we kept our vacation within our budget with making our own meals. Within walking distance of all the main spots to check out. Everything was clean. Rooms are spacious. Will happily come again."
