You check in at the Swiss hotel next door and the owner, Sabina was so wonderful! We have the same name so that was 😊! She is so friendly and lovely!! Barefoot Inn was really nice to stay in for two nights. It was clean, warm, colorful and inviting. Bed was comfortable. Sheets and pillows were really nice and very clean. Room was stocked with towels as was the bathroom. Kitchen has everything you'd need, cups, plates, coffee, tea, there is a TV in the living room downstairs. it's walking distance to many of the Embassies in Ottawa so if you are coming to do any kind of consular business like passport renewal it's perfect. I also walked to the Parliament hill, then over the Alexandra bridge to Gatineau,QC. So it's at a great location. All in all, a lovely place to stay in! ##### Sabina Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Maria Teresa Sep 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The weather was hot and humid and there was no A/C in the room, only a fan,which did not really help to make us comfortable. ##### Maria Teresa Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### GAO Jul 5, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location is good, but too many homeless people around here. The staffs aren’t friendly. The front desk doesn't give room key. The room can not be locked when you go out.Never had such experience! There’s a fire exit in the room. Is it legal? ##### GAO Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Madeleine Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service ##### Madeleine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Man Hei Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Man Hei Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ramada by Wyndham Ottawa On The Rideau](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Ramada-By-Wyndham-Ottawa-On-The-Rideau.h42500.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Ottawa West](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Ottawa-West.h10439.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ottawa Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Ottawa-Airport.h23814718.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lac-Leamy](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hilton-Lac-Leamy.h807367.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartier Place Suite Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Cartier-Place-Suite-Hotel.h52951.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Ottawa Kanata](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Ottawa-Kanata.h891243.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Ottawa East](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Ottawa-East.h4683483.Hotel-Information) > > [TownePlace Suites by Marriott Ottawa Kanata](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-TownePlace-Suites-By-Marriott-Ottawa-Kanata.h12243597.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Ottawa City Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Ottawa-City-Centre.h748.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Ottawa East by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Ottawa-East.h7853.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Ottawa.h437235.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Ottawa Kanata by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hotel-Suites-Ottawa-Kanata.h424243.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Ottawa East](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Ottawa-East.h3818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Ottawa West](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Ottawa-West.h57516138.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites By Hilton Ottawa Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Ottawa-Airport.h22713505.Hotel-Information) > > [The Business Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-The-Business-Inn.h896730.Hotel-Information) > > [Wingate by Wyndham Kanata West Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Wingate-Kanata-West-Ottawa.h42521073.Hotel-Information) > > [Ottawa Embassy Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Ottawa-Embassy-Hotel-Suites.h74806.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Ottawa-Airport.h1845021.Hotel-Information) > > [Brookstreet](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Brookstreet.h917532.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Gatineau-Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Gatineau-Ottawa.h17605.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Ottawa Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Ottawa-Airport.h6089187.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Gatineau - Ottawa by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Gatineau-Ottawa.h68218400.Hotel-Information) > > [Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kanata Ottawa West](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Microtel-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Kanata.h72526095.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Ottawa Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Ottawa-Airport.h2025458.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Ottawa Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-Ottawa-Airport-Hotel.h35214416.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn by Hilton Ottawa Airport, ON, CN](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Ottawa-Airport.h11222271.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Ottawa West](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Ottawa-West.h61509408.Hotel-Information) > > [Welcominns Hotel Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Welcominns-Hotel-Ottawa.h13711.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Cartier Hotel & Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Chateau-Cartier-Hotel-Resort.h449484.Hotel-Information)
