How can I get cheap hotels in Ottawa?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Ottawa

  1. If you're looking to travel to Ottawa on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $80. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $145. Staying a short amount of time in Ottawa is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Ottawa, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Ottawa, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Ottawa, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Top Ottawa Hotel Reviews

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Best hotel for us. Only place we stay in Ottawa because we love the kitchen, space and extra beds. We have stayed 5 different times in a variety of rooms and are always very pleased. Would highly recommend. Value for cost is outstanding. Walkable, clean, excellent amenities. 8-10 min to Parliament Hill, the university, and maybe 15 min or less walk to the Byward Market. Elgin St has so many places for food and Farm Boy is just around the corner for grocery needs. Plan ahead - parking is pricy and not included, so consider off-site. Our second night we switched to the City Hall parking garage which is one block away. Was less than a quarter of the price for the evening overnight and next morning (Sat-Sun)."
