Top Gatineau Hotel Reviews

The British Hotel

The British Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Unique property. We stayed on the top (3rd) floor with our dauther who was heading back to Ottawa for school. Fell in love with Aylmer. Short walk to pier, enough places to eat within walking distance. Just a relaxing time. Our new go to stay when visiting the Ottawa area. The third floor has a seperate room which was great for our daughter. The unit is 'open concept' including the shower/bath area; this may not be for everyone if they prefer more privacy. Great stay if you are also planning to visit Gatineau Park - favorite hiking trails. There is a Purivian restaurant that we all loved (look it up) within walking distance away from the main strip. There is also a micro brewrey that we loved, that is just a minute walk. Self check in & out out was easy. My favorite stay around the Ottawa/Gatineua area, just wish I had discovered the location years ago."
