Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Metcalfe Hotel Ottawa by Gray Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable room, appreciated small window opening as HVAC not very quiet. Very helpful and proactive front desk, 5-min walk to Parliament nO-train station. MY hours precluded dining on site."

reStays Ottawa

8/10 Good

"The location of Restays Ottawa is excellent, away from the very noisy Byward market area but close to major tourist attractions and an easy and beautiful walk to restaurants and high end pubs including the market area. The rooms were above average with good quality appliances and furnishings for acceptably spacious 1 bedroom suites. Staff very helpful and friendly. The balconies of our suites were very small and looked across the street into a very large office building with lots of windows! Not a major issue for us as we spent almost no daylight hours in the suite, but definitely not a space we would have found comfortable to lounge around in until the evening. Overall, very good value for money, I would recommend it over many other hotels and suites in Ottawa."
