Excellent little hotel in Ottawa!

Excellent boutique hotel in the heart of Byward Market in Ottawa. There a ton of food and drink options nearby and the hotels breakfast was great with really good food and attentive staff. Easily one of my fave hotels in Canada (this being my second time staying there and we will come back for sure).

Room was clean, spacious & very well appointed. Breakfast was good with an adequate selection to start the day. Plenty of dining options close to Byward Market. The street is a little dark if arriving at night. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Great stay at the Byward Blue!

Our stay was excellent. The room had everything we needed and more. The breakfast was great and much more than we expected. Everyone in our party was really impressed with the ByWard and would gladly stay there again!
