Great location

Steps to Byward market area and Byward Square. The kitchenette was well equipped and the staff were very helpful. The hot breakfast had lots of variety. The hotel was quiet at night but we found the beds uncomfortable. Other than that, we loved our stay.

Love the Byward Blue. Clean, quality, well located, safe with a great daily breakfast. Little thoughtful touches like real cream in your fridge for coffee and quality bathroom amenities. This hotel appeals to travellers that appreciate value. Can’t wait to stay again.

Hôtel vraiment bien

Très propre, bien situé et les chambres avec balcon sont toujours des plus! Avec ses fruits frais, le petit-déjeuner est aussi très bien. Si je reviens à Ottawa, c'est là que je vais reprendre une chambre pour sûr.

The neighbourhood has gone badly downhill meaning frequent loud street noise in the middle of the night. not helped by the fact that the split system air units are very loud. Parking is for very small cars only. This should be noted.

A old but quaint and beautifully kept hotel right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Easy walk to Byward Market, the gorgeous parliament buildings, Rideau Centre, lots of food options, and a great little continental breakfast was included.

This property is in the heart of the city. It has a great market around the corner, many restaurants on its doorstep, and Parliament Hill is only a 13 minute walk. It includes a filling breakfast. The staff is attentive in keeping the rooms equipped with everything you need. My husband and I enjoyed our three night stay at the Byward Blue Inn.

Room is bright, spacious, clean and so was the bathroom. Balcony was a very special feature. Centrally located in downtown Ottawa, it is now my first choice hotel whenever I return. Reception and management were professional, extremely efficient and accommodating. This was an excellent experience.
