Its location is wonderfully central. Close to many places of interest. I loved the room with a balcony overlooking the interior courtyard of the block. Kitchenette, though small, made my stay very convenient.

We stayed at ByWard Blue Inn for one night and had a wonderful experience. We booked a cozy queen room with a window view for two people. The room was spotless upon arrival and felt very comfortable for a quick stay. Breakfast was included and exceeded expectations — the croissants were fresh and delicious, and the yogurt selection was a nice touch. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The location is absolutely ideal — everything we wanted to see was within walking distance, including Parliament Hill, the Rideau Centre mall, ByWard Market, and other downtown highlights. We had no issues at all during our stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for something affordable and comfortable, especially if you plan to spend most of your time exploring the city and just need a clean, pleasant place to sleep.

We booked this reasonably last minute - about a week out from our trip. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it's a disaster. This was a great, lucky find. Location: Set about a block away from Byward Market and a 10 minute walk from the Parliament Buildings, The Mint and all the main attractions in Ottawa, this could not have been more perfectly located. There is a Green P parking garage about 3 doors down and overnight parking was about $15. There are lots of restaurants nearby as well. The staff was very helpful - we checked in quickly, the evening manager made a good recommendation for dinner, and in the morning the desk clerk offered to mail some postcards for us. The hotel lobby, rooms and dining room are all decorated with interesting abstract artwork. The breakfast we quite good if not fancy - scrambled eggs, sausages, granola, boiled eggs, cereal and fresh fruit. There were also egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches - the only disappointing part of the stay. They tasted too much of processed cheese which I don't like - but if you do, fill your boots, take one for the road. We will definitely book again on our next trip through Ottawa.
