Very central location with underground parking (charged). Nice balcony on the room which was comfortable and clean. Safe in the room and a nicely equipped kitchenette. Good bathroom. Good breakfast with lots of fresh fruit and a hot option. Super staff on front of house. Would highly recommend for 2/3 nights in Quebec.

Great Property and Staff!
Kristina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was clean and quiet. Staff were helpful and kind. Only concern was the mattress was VERY soft and not that comfortable. Also, if a guest is interested in watching TV (we weren’t), it was not working. The location is perfect for exploring Byward Market area, government buildings and the canal. Thank you for a nice stay!

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have a confession, I've been gatekeepering this place for over 6 years hoping nobody would notice how great it really is. Ok, thats a lie. Truth is I recommend The Byward Blue Inn to anyone I know who is traveling to Ottawa. The rooms are smallish but well kept, and always a bottle filtered spring water in the fridge. The rest of the hotel is always clean... and the breakfast. Simply the best bang for your buck or Euro, or whatever.
Nelson, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Conveniently located and my room was lovely. The bathroom is a bit dated (as are the hallways) but the room itself was upgraded, clean, comfortable , I had housecoats and bottled water and breakfast was great. I left behind my phone charger and it was waiting for me at the front desk in a bag with my room number. I could not ask for better service. I will 100% stay here again. Thank you for being a hidden gem in Ottawa .

Great location with proximity to food, entertainment parking and the Highway! Customer service was great on check in. Very personable. Only downside was the pillows on the bed. Thin and flat. Other than that, great place.
