Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Ottawa Embassy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The central location makes sightseeing convenient, the restaurant, Cooper’s kitchen, has breakfasts at reasonable rates and the staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Ottawa Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hôtel-résidence très agréable, les chambres sont grandes, avec cuisinette, divan et poste de travail. Tout est très propre. La seule amélioration à apporter: la qualité des aliments offerts au déjeuner le matin. Cela aurait été agréable d'avoir des options santé de qualité."

The Ora Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Super clean and friendly staff. The kitchen area was well-stocked and layout was cute. Bathroom and shower are pretty small - but that wasn't a concern of mine. I think it's a great value for how spotless and cute it is. I would not park in the 161 Laurier parking lot again although it's listed as an alternative. The ticket printer wasn't working and it was very stressful trying to figure out how to get back into the lot for my car."
