Stayed here for a few days in the middle of June. The hotel is in a good location, everything we wanted to see was easily walkable (the war museum was a good half hour walk though). On arrival we were given a chocolate and a glass of sparkling wine at reception. The room was nicely furnished, and the bedsheets were... more

Stayed here for 5 nights in August 2007. The hotel lobby and check-in area are extremely nice and the staff are helpful. The hotel is also nicely located. However, the room itself was very lackluster. The layout of the room just didn't make sense--you could tell it used to be some other chain and was remodeled (Howard Johnson in this... more

Professional, attentive service which is never intrusive, a convenient location to all major attractions and clean modern rooms with high-end finishes - the ARC is an excellent choice for business travellers or tourists. Most rooms are small, so this is not a good venue for families, but individuals or couples should find this a perfect match. I would also recommend... more

With time for rooms in Ottawa running out, I booked at ARC - The Hotel only days before we arrived for the city's busiest event on July 1. The lounge and its atmosphere upon arrival were exactly what I required from a BOUTIQUE hotel....stylish, relaxing, and reasonably calm and sophisticated considering the hotel was filled with what I would assume... more

Me and my husband as well as two other couples stayed in this hotel over a weekend in June 2007 while attending someone's wedding. The ARC is a typical boutique hotel with very small rooms and designer sheets. For the price I would have rather stayed at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa. The rooms were small and very noisy. The... more

I spent two nights (May 16 & 17 2007) at the Arc Hotel in downtown Ottawa. The plan was for three nights, including May 15. However, bad weather resulted in a delayed flight, a missed connection, and missing one night of my stay. I made my booking through Priceline – BIG mistake. Priceline customers do not get priority rooms if... more

I would not recommend the Arc to any of my friends for a number or reasons. I went to Ottawa for business and stayed four nights. Despite being in the business district, it was noisy at night. On one particular night, the car park at the rear of the hotel was mechnically swept by a tractor and a man with... more
