Great place to stay as you can walk to most attractions easily. The train station is also on campus nearby. Pay for parking insides the building (there is a machine - you can ask the staff), which gives you a slightly better rate/ time than the online option outsides!

We stayed at the residences for 2 nights and loved the central location. The Byward maket as well as the Ridea center, Parliament and canal were less then a 10min walk away. The Residences themselves were lovely to stay in with 2 rooms and beds plus fridge and seating area. It was quiet and walking the grounds themselves was enjoyable. Staff were very pmeasant as well. Would definitely stay here again!
