I like that this hotel is located right in the Byward Market. It is in fairly walkable distance from some of the main museums of Ottawa. The housekeeping staff at the hotel do such a good job of taking care of my room. The hotel reception staff were ready to take care of my needs. I noticed that they do not leave complimentary hand soaps like they used to. I think that management at the hotel should start doing that again. Overall, it was a wonderful stay at the Byward Blue Inn.

Get away weekend for dinner and a show. In the Byward Market area. Staff were pleasant. Our room was clean. Microwave, fridge, dishes etc. Mattress was in need of an update - comfortable but a little saggy in the middle. Close to shopping restaurants etc.

Cozy little character hotel in an interesting neighbourhood. The room was clean and well-equipped. My only complaint is that the pillows were hard and flat. Otherwise would recommend.

Will definitely return!
Great stay! Room was spacious and clean, I liked the small kitchenette and supplies that were available. Bed and pillows was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and above average than what I was expecting. Only downside was on site parking was limited so I had to park down the road at the city lot which ended up being cheaper anyways but not as convenient. Will definitely be back!

Front desk and general staff were amazing. The canvas art everywhere artfully lit in the stairwells, the rooms, breakfast room and even the stained glass details in the transom windows were lovely. Clean, comfortable, homey, with a touch of jazzy history located in the heart of walking distance to everything made our short trip here memorable and sold us on coming back! Lyft service was fantastic too! Oh, and super comfy beds as well. Should be a 4 star!
