Nice and affordable downtown Ottawa accommodation

Great stay over, calm and beautiful street in the downtown area. Owner and hostess is charming and very helpful. Room is rather small but very well prepared and very clean and cost.

Spent almost a full week here, Feb 2025. Loved it, would definitely stay here again. Room was clean, cosy, and quiet. Everything was modern and everything worked. Sabina at the front desk was excellent. Super friendly and helpful. Hotel is a 5 minute walk from pretty much everything in downtown Otawa. Close to Rogers Centre, Parliament, Rideau Centre, Rideau Canal, shopping, and dining.

Absolutely lovely. Rooms are small but you can see that from the pictures. Beds are super comfy with beautiful duvets & comfortable pillows. The only thing was the room was very warm. You could open the window though!

My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at the Swiss Hotel. The superior room with the fireplace was beautiful and so cozy. The place was immaculately clean. The complimentary coffee in the morning was a great plus. The owner of the hotel was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed our chats! We will be returning! ☺️
