    Great hotel and very nice room! Clean, spacious and great customer service! A little bit noisy due to the heating system and downtown location. We had to pay extra for parking (25$/night).

    Les Suites Hotel Ottawa
    Expedia Verified Review…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    We loved our stay at Les Suites Ottawa so much that we booked another weekend there 2 weeks later. We are a very well travelled family - we know a great place when we happen on it, and this place is a gem. The staff was so warm and welcoming.... and so helpful (we had a problem with our safe in the middle of the night and they came to fix it within minutes, despite the late hour). The value for your money is also amazing: We loved the HUGE one bedroom suites (balcony in every one), pet-friendly attitude, and the incredible close proximity to the Rideau Canal, Byward market, shopping and restaurants... Also, it was very clean, with all appropriate sanitization measure in place... it's a shame we couldn't experience the amenities at Les Suites due to COVID restrictions, but maybe next time! See you in a few days, Chloe, Alexia & Catherine
