Great location

Steps to Byward market area and Byward Square. The kitchenette was well equipped and the staff were very helpful. The hot breakfast had lots of variety. The hotel was quiet at night but we found the beds uncomfortable. Other than that, we loved our stay.

Love the Byward Blue. Clean, quality, well located, safe with a great daily breakfast. Little thoughtful touches like real cream in your fridge for coffee and quality bathroom amenities. This hotel appeals to travellers that appreciate value. Can’t wait to stay again.

Hôtel vraiment bien

Très propre, bien situé et les chambres avec balcon sont toujours des plus! Avec ses fruits frais, le petit-déjeuner est aussi très bien. Si je reviens à Ottawa, c'est là que je vais reprendre une chambre pour sûr.

The neighbourhood has gone badly downhill meaning frequent loud street noise in the middle of the night. not helped by the fact that the split system air units are very loud. Parking is for very small cars only. This should be noted.

This property is in the heart of the city. It has a great market around the corner, many restaurants on its doorstep, and Parliament Hill is only a 13 minute walk. It includes a filling breakfast. The staff is attentive in keeping the rooms equipped with everything you need. My husband and I enjoyed our three night stay at the Byward Blue Inn.

Downtown meeting

I very much enjoyed the stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was great. Sometimes it is a bit of a wait to get hot water from the tap, maybe because the hotel was less busy during this time. The location is mostly good. There are lots of excellent food options in the area. On the other hand, there are also a lot of people on the street in this part of Ottawa, some of whom are loud and aggressive, which is at least unpleasant. There was also significant noice from nearby nightclubs, especially on Saturday. If or when I come back, I would stay here again.

This is a charming hotel in a great location. Easy walk to Parliament and lots to check out in Byward market. Unique artwork through the hotel, and thoughtful touches in the room like a cold bottle of distilled water in your fridge and a bowl of real creamers and milk for your coffee. Breakfast was delicious and in a lovely room. The beds and pillows could use an upgrade, but otherwise it was perfect. Would recommend!
