Value and location
Pros:

Very clean, great location, breakfast was reasonable and enough for us, room had good curtains and blocked out light, bed was comfortable, access to the laundry helpful.

Cons:

Bathroom was quite small - but ok if you are not there much or for a very long stay. Chairs were a bit uncomfortable

Pros:

Kitchenette was handy and the simple continental breakfast did the job. Really big room and nice to have a separate desk as well as a table to eat at.

Cons:

The shower takes 30 minutes to drain so the bath is full of shower water.

Bonne adresse à Ottawa !!
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, toutes les visites sont font à pied. Le personnel est accueillant et serviable. Nous étions une famille de 4 adultes. La chambre était composée d'une suite parentale avec SDB, d'une cuisine tout équipée et d'un salon avec canapé lit ( moyen) et d'une deuxième SDB. Possibilité de faire une machine à laver le linge, salle de jeu : très apprécié !

Cons:

Petit déjeuner industriel : muffins pas fait maison, pain prédécoupé, fruits et yaourt. On mange dans des assiettes en carton avec des couverts en carton. Le premier jour, il y avait du monde et du mal à trouver une table pour tout le monde.

Un giusto rapporto prezzo-qualità
Pros:

Posizione centrale, ottima per una visita della città. Buona colazione a buffet. Camera ampia con cucina.

Cons:

Le camere vengono rifatte ogni tre giorni. La privacy della nostra camera era scarsa in quanto nel palazzo di fronte, a pochi metri, si trovavano degli uffici. Occorre parcheggiare l'auto in un garage pubblico perché l'hotel non prevede questo servizio.

Pros:

Location was great near Parliament and the Byward market. It was reasonably priced for here.

Cons:

The breakfast was only cold items apart from a pancake machine and a toaster. They didn't have cereals or even ham and cheese slices. The room had everything but felt soulless. It was good enough for the two nights we were there.

Triest ontbijt
Cons:

Het ontbijt was beperkt en je wordt verwacht te eten op kartonnen wegwerpborden en bestek.
