I have a confession, I've been gatekeepering this place for over 6 years hoping nobody would notice how great it really is. Ok, thats a lie. Truth is I recommend The Byward Blue Inn to anyone I know who is traveling to Ottawa. The rooms are smallish but well kept, and always a bottle filtered spring water in the fridge. The rest of the hotel is always clean... and the breakfast. Simply the best bang for your buck or Euro, or whatever.

The room was clean and quiet. Staff were helpful and kind. Only concern was the mattress was VERY soft and not that comfortable. Also, if a guest is interested in watching TV (we weren’t), it was not working. The location is perfect for exploring Byward Market area, government buildings and the canal. Thank you for a nice stay!

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Conveniently located and my room was lovely. The bathroom is a bit dated (as are the hallways) but the room itself was upgraded, clean, comfortable , I had housecoats and bottled water and breakfast was great. I left behind my phone charger and it was waiting for me at the front desk in a bag with my room number. I could not ask for better service. I will 100% stay here again. Thank you for being a hidden gem in Ottawa .
