Nice apartment building converted into a hotel, right in the middle of everything, by the rideau canal. It allows you to walk to everything within 15 minutes: parliament buildings, the byward market, restaurants/bars and shopping. The hotel was nice and clean and the staff were cordial and helpful.

Despite the older looking exterior, the inside of this hotel was quite nice. The rooms are great, the staff are friendly, and there’s a nice restaurant on the main floor. Parking can be a bit tricky, but it’s manageable.

Spacious room with full kitchen. No cooking oil, salt or pepper, but lots of pans, dishes and utensils. Very comfortable bed with reading lights. I really appreciated that in the early evening a maintenance person could be sent to change burned out lightbulbs. Close to Elgin St., so lots of food options within quick walking distance. Both surface and underground parking with in-and-out privileges. Underground is very narrow. Overall, a very nice stay. I would book here again.

The rooms were remodeled and spacious, but the kitchen is a bit dated. Basics are provided in the kitchen, but no spices/oil or anything to cook with. The area is quiet and a nice neighborhood. It is very walkable. The in room service that is provided in the hotel is amazing and highly recommend it.

Ottawa Embassy hotel is deceiving. Not the modern looking hotel from the outside, looking dated, but we had a huge king size suite with a kitchen. The space was nice and large and clean. Bathroom on the small side but served its purpose and the shower was a nice size. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Great location as it is pet friendly we were able to walk our dog easily. The staff are great and extremely friendly - and are dog people too!

Our room was really clean, furniture didn't seem to worn out. The location is amazing! A lot of options for restaurants around, walking distance to the mall, Byward Market, the National Arts Centre, and Museum of Nature. The amenities and facilities are pretty bare though, and I think the AC controls in our room were broken leading to a chilly stay. However for the price and location, I think it's still a great choice.
