I really like this place! It reminded me of my own home, quiet, cozy and clean! And the owner of the property is so nice and warm! I saw some other comments mentioned about homeless people around, tbh it's not that bad, it’s common everywhere in this city, not hotel’s fault lolll

This is a lovely quaint property. There is however no food on site and the rooms are very small (as are the bathrooms). Although small they are fully stocked with robes, hair dryers, hair straighteners, coffee and tea etc.

The Swiss Hotel is a very nice and cool spot within walking distance to Byward Market and Parliament Hill. The staff is very friendly and the feel of the olace is very European. It is super clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. It is close to the Ottawa Mission (so is the massively more expensive Germain Hotel) and other ressources for homeless people so they are around but are not aggressive or bothersome. Just less privileged and/or ill humans trying to get by. We had no problems co-habiting with them and the hotel feels cery safe and I cannot stress the cleanliness enough. It was immaculate!
