Top Ottawa Hotel Reviews

Fairmont Chateau Laurier

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Ottawa Embassy Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only issue was the number of fruit flies in bathroom and kitchen area"

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location downtown Ottawa, close to War Memorial and Parliament Buildings. Older building, but friendly service, quick check in. 2 bedroom suite was perfect for family of 6 with kitchenette and balcony."

Brookstreet

8/10 Good

"My overall stay was fine, my room was okay. The AC intake needed a good vacuuming and the sink drain was slow to drain in room 1012. The staff was first rate. I did have trouble leaving the underground parking. My room key worked to open the gate, only to have the gate immediately close. I had to go back to the office, explain my issue and was given another key. Same result. I did find another guest key in the Dropbox and it worked. Go figure."

Wyndham Gatineau-Ottawa & Conference Centre

8/10 Good

"good and clean"
