My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at the Swiss Hotel. The superior room with the fireplace was beautiful and so cozy. The place was immaculately clean. The complimentary coffee in the morning was a great plus. The owner of the hotel was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed our chats! We will be returning! ☺️

The Hotel parking does not offer in/out. I was travelling on business and needed my car. I was told I could park on the street after 8:00pm, but had to remove by 6:00am or could park at Rogers Center/Show Center. I parked overnight there $20.00 for 12 hours and a 10 minute walk to get there. what a pain. Note: there is no elevator, pretty bad for someone like me with health issues, tramping up 3 flights of stairs with my luggage.

Had a very positive experience from check in to interaction with staff and the lovely owner herself. The Swiss Hotel is full of character and charm. My room had everything I needed. It and the bathroom & shower etc. were quite small however, so be sure to ask about various room options if you prefer more space. Less than 10 minute walk to Rideau Centre was so convenient. I would recommend a stay!
