Charming family-run European hotel in Ottawa. Sabina the owner is amazing. She's always there to help and really cares for her guests. The hotel is true to its purpose and makes you feel like you're in Switzerland.

This hotel is such a hidden gem in downtown Ottawa. The woman at the front (I believe she is the owner) is so sweet and helpful. So close to all the main attractions of downtown, parliament, Byward, Rideau and more, yet the street the hotel is on is so quiet. You can walk to grocery stores, restaurants and shops. Also the hotel is taking covid very seriously, hand sanitizer at front entrance and masks mandatory in common areas. The only thing I would have to say, not even a complaint, is that in our room there was no shelf in the shower so you have to leave your toiletries (such as facewash or bars of soap) out of the shower or on the shower floor. I’m not sure if it’s like that in every room and we managed just fine. All in all the hotel is wonderful and we already want to go back, rooms are spacious and come equipped with nespresso machines. 12/10 recommend
