I stayed in a single room, and it was quiet and the washrooms were accessible when I needed them. This area of Ottawa feels a bit unsafe, so I'd caution backpackers to be cautious when walking around at night, and always have a companion. I was fine during my stay, but I wouldn't want anyone else to have a negative experience. ##### Jenn Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities If your expectations are hotel styled probably not formyou!

And the flixbus stops close by as well! And the Byward market is awesome if you love cheese fresh breads and other delightful baked goods, and well lots of pubs and bars weed places all close by!
