Ottawa Hostels

Thought this was going to be a very nice hotel as all the ratings you see online are amazing. HOWEVER, we get our room and we go to check it out and the hallways smells like nothing but rotten trash, ****, and cigarette smoke. This is supposed to be a smoke free hotel. I ask for a refund as I am pregnant and feel extremely nauseous due to the smell and they deny me of it because we were here for two hours. An hour of that I was outside trying to get a breathe of fresh air with beer cans and cigarette buds on the ground around their picnic table. Not to only mention we find a roach in the hallway. Lovely place.

This is a tired hotel which begs for some preventative maintenance. I spent a weekend at this hotel, and experienced the following: my desk chair broke at the leg on my first attempt to sit on it- there were no replacements ”available”; neither one of the phones in my room worked- I was unable to call reception and had to make several in-person visits; and finally, the batteries in the remote for the TV were missing. A couple of minor inconveniences included the lack of a toilet roll holder, no Kleenex and a VERY slippery tub/shower base, which required a towel in order not to slip and fall. All in all, a less than relaxing and enjoyable experience at this hotel. Moreover, staff attitudes were indifferent with no real intent to mitigate client complaints. Will not come here again in its current state.

Very satisfied with the facilities and services of the hotel. In the morning, you can make homemade waffles. It is the best choice for self-driving friends. There are also free ice machines, coffee, refrigerators and microwaves. Refrigerated in the refrigerator, very convenient, highly recommended!

The hotel is in an excellent location, and you can walk to various places around. The hotel is an ancient building, very beautiful. I stayed there in a hurry and didn't have time to join the hotel's tour. It's a pity. Next time I stay there, I must stay in a view room, facing the lake is the best view

Hi Carson & Mark, and staff: it's J and E, thanks for making our stay 5 stars! This hotel is perfectly located for a stay in Ottawa, being a short 800 metre stroll to the Parliament Buildings, War Memorial, National Arts Centre, Rideau Mall, and very close to the National Garllery of Art and Byward Market . We stayed in Room 2223 which afforded a breath taking view of the entire Ottawa Skyline - treat yourself to this Executive King Corner Room. Breakfast at Spin in the Hotel was very good, and priced fair. In/Out Parking on site is also fair and convenient. The hotel was built in 1972 but is well maintained and kept super clean. BIG shout out to MARK at the Front Desk who is absolutely so Personable and went above and beyond the call of duty for us. And of course...CARSON, what can I say, he is the Manager that all Managers should strive to be, very very accomodating! Thanks Ottawa Marriott...we'll be back soon!!!

Everything was great at this hotel.. amazing staff that is friendly and makes customers feel welcome.

Our family of 4 needed a hotel near the airport between connecting flights so our expectation was not high. We always had good experience with other Hampton Inns so this was just an easy choice, assuming a known quality hotel and also close to the airport. The Good about this hotel - 1. close to airport 2. free shuttle (details to follow) 3. has a couple restaurants just across from the parking lot if you don't want to venture out too far 4. check-in was quick The Bad - 1. Free shuttle only starts at 6am so if you need to catch an early flight you'll need to find a taxi. In our case, we had to pre-book a taxi the night before because we needed to get to the airport at 4:30am. 2. The hotel shuttle was just a plain white van with no signs indicating it's for Hampton Inn. Driver was not in any kind of uniform and when I knocked on his window trying to inquire, he came out and yelled 'What's going on'. Well not exactly what I expect a hotel shuttle driver to identify himself that way. When I asked if he's from Hampton Inn the answer was yes. But in retrospect any random guy can give me the same answer and we just kinda need to trust that driver that he's a legitimate Hampton Inn shuttle driver. The whole short trip to the hotel we were wondering if we would end up getting mugged. Just not a good feeling and I think the hotel can handle this a lot better, how hard is it to give this driver an uniform with a hampton inn logo, or print a hampton inn logo on a piece of paper and put it on the dashboard. At least something to make your shuttle and driver look a little bit more legitimate and make your guests feel a little bit safer. 3. As mentioned earlier we pre-booked a taxi to pick us up at 4:15am, turns out the front desk forgot to book it for us. When we got down to the lobby and looked for the taxi, that's when the front desk guy realized he forgot about it. So we waited for another 10-12 mins for the taxi to come. (taxi fare from hotel to airport was less than $20) 4. Not all electric outlets are working, in our room the one attached to the side table lamp didn't seem to work. Had to search high and low to have enough outlets to charge 4 phones and 4 apple watches. The Very Bad - The mattress was the absolute worse, I have never stayed at a Hampton Inn that have mattresses that dip down about 2 inches and with no support whatsoever. I'm not a big person, but my husband is so the whole night I was sinking and rolling to my husband's side. All I needed was a few hours of sleep between flights and I could not get that because of the mattress. Tossing and turning the whole night and could not find a good position. My back was hurting the next day like I was sleeping on an absolute garbage mattress the night before. We did not use the free breakfast, coffee wasn't ready during our stay, no other amenities were used. The poor rating is given based on the fact that everything we needed for a short stay in this hotel fell far sho
