Great experience. Really nice owner, room aid, and the room was spotless. Great historic building with a unique feel. Also really appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine. Walking distance from all the cool Byward Market spots and super close to Parliament building, Rideau Centre, and so much more. Will saty there again and again.

Perfect. Clean, contemporary, peaceful, quiet, safe and comfortable. The coffee is incredible! The owner is an absolute sweetheart and entertaining to chat with, and the communal space is inviting, relaxing and lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend sipping a coffee in one of the big red chairs. You won’t regret it.

The hotel and desk staff were very good. However, I did not read the details for the hotel in that there is no elevator. There is, also, no staff to help with luggage. We travel with a fair amount of luggage and it was a challenge to carry it up and down from the second floor. Thank goodness our room was not on the 4th floor.

Absolutely wonderful stay at this boutique hotel. Sabina was such a great, caring host - so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was cute, cozy and very clean. Bed so comfy!!! Great coffee too. We will definitely go back when travelling again in the Ottawa area. Thank you Sabina.

The Swiss Hotel was charming with unexpected amenities, like curling tongs in the bathroom, a multi port charging station by the bed, and a full length mirror. It also had a coffee maker, robes, and small fridge. The coffee in the morning was welcome and the common area was large, quirky and well furnished. The drawbacks are no elevator and the area around the property felt a little unsafe. It is however a quick walk to the market, National Art Gallery and Parliament.
