Attractive decor, spotlessly clean, friendly owner and staff. Easy parking. Shower is tiny, but works. Neighborhood is a bit dodgy, but very close to ByWard Market and University of Ottawa.

Absolutely wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. Sabina was such a great, caring host - so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was cute, cozy and very clean. Bed so comfy!!!

Friendly and helpful staff always ready to address any questions concerns or needs you might have. The common areas of the hotel seemed very welcoming. An easy, stress-free stay.
erick, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very small and tight

Small and tight rooms, but great usage of space. The owners are very friendly and the rooms do have a lot of useful amenities, although there is no fridge in the room. But for the price, would have liked a bit more space. Location is a few blocks from Byward Market and the university, but those few blocks do matter in feeling of safety - a bit quieter streets, a few more homeless etc.
