Sabina goes out of her way to make you feel welcome at the Swiss Hotel
Pros:

Sabina went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. We were travelling for a conference, and the hotel had everything we needed each day to prepare well and leave our room with a smile. The free coffee in the downstairs lounge was a bonus. Sabina was a perfect host. She was always happy to chat and share tips and stories, and posted items we had left behind back to New Zealand (she is a gem in my opinion). The location is central and in a busy part of town, as others have said. We felt quite safe in the hotel and had no issues with noise or trouble sleeping. For any travellers coming to Ottawa who want a hotel host who makes you feel at home, I would not hesitate to recommend Sabina.

Great value in a central location.
Pros:

Very clean, quiet place. Wonderful, helpful owner.

Cons:

The hotel is quite centrally located but on a quiet street. Unfortunately that section of Ottawa has developed a large number of homeless people, many of whom have mental problems. While we didn't experience any issues, we probably will look for another area of town to stay in, next time we visit Ottawa.

Pros:

Location is convenient to go nearby downtown areas.

Cons:

Parking was not free. They charge for $20 per night even though they mention parking available on their website. The room is very small compared to other three star hotels. You barely fit in the shower room. Even though the location is good to walk everywhere, there are unhoused people around ; not that safe to walk out.

A very pleasant and comfortable stay within walking distance to the key attractions.
Pros:

Super clean, economically comfortable room and quiet location despite being a few blocks from the main nightlife area. Excellent block out blinds. Best shower ever - very hot and powerful water pressure. The owner is a lovely friendly Swiss lady.

Cons:

A lot of homeless people and recreational cannabis users around the surrounding streets.
