Stayed here for a brief stay - lovely view! We had to leave before breakfast unfortunately. Our room was ready before check in as well, a real plus for jet lag!

I enjoy the short walk to Rideau Center, Byward market and Metro supermarket across the street. The room is a bit basic but it has everything I need and wanted, plus fantastic value. Will continue to book here.

No-frills, two-beds room and a continental breakfast were great for a quick overnight stay. Can't beat the price!
Student workers were polite and definitely had a lot of patience, especially when other guests used them as tour guides/concierges!

The bed was very comfortable and the laminated wood floors added a nice clean modern touch. Great value with lots of supermarkets and restaurants within short walking distance. The continental breakfast was a bonus even if it was a bit limited in variety. Stayed here on several different occasions.
