Spent almost a full week here, Feb 2025. Loved it, would definitely stay here again. Room was clean, cosy, and quiet. Everything was modern and everything worked. Sabina at the front desk was excellent. Super friendly and helpful. Hotel is a 5 minute walk from pretty much everything in downtown Otawa. Close to Rogers Centre, Parliament, Rideau Centre, Rideau Canal, shopping, and dining.

My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at the Swiss Hotel. The superior room with the fireplace was beautiful and so cozy. The place was immaculately clean. The complimentary coffee in the morning was a great plus. The owner of the hotel was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed our chats! We will be returning! ☺️
