Good spot if you like convenience and cleanliness - so ideal for short business stays. But if you like some personality to where you stay then this is not the most dynamic or interesting of hotels. Location is convenient to Market area but immediate vicinity is grubby. My room also looked straight at an office block so missed out on... More

Close to Parliament and basically opposite the Rideau Centre and the Byward Market area (lots of restaurants etc), the hotel is situated in an excellent location. Staff were helpful and the European-style rooms are very nice. Great bathroom (no bath - but that's fine for me), comfortable big bed with very nice comforter rather than simple sheets/blankets as is the... More

I stayed with a freind for one night. It wasn't expensive. It has a nice location. It's about 40CD from the airport. You can walk to the canal and there are a lot of nice restruants in a walking distance. I didn't like the bathroom because the door doesn't have a lock. Even worse is it's a two door which... More

The Novotel Ottawa is a very well located business hotel in the heart of the city. The spartan european style lobby is somewhat non inviting but the reception staff are very helpful and smiling. The rooms are impeccably clean and comfortable, good bed with comforter (if you prefer there are sheets in the closet). I appreciated the note assuring customers... More

I stayed at Novotel for a business trip last week. My co-worker recommends it highly. I loved the funky furniture. The hotel and room was very clean. Internet access was included. I ordered room service for breakfast each morning; they offered 3 breakfast combo choices; I did not see any options for a-la-carte, but I may have missed it. The... More

I like the Novotel. Modern Euro styling, easy access to and from the 417 and convenient walking distance to the Byward Market and its many restaurants and Parliament Hill. Note that $14 / day parking is not included in the room rate. Breakfast may or may not be including depending on how you book.

If you want good internet connectivity throughout and access to plenty of good quality public internet terminals then the Novotel on Nicolas Street Ottawa fits the bill. Rooms and public areas are kept exceptionally clean and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The main public rooms are visually interesting and encourage you to linger. The immediate vicinity of the... More

The hotel is very clean, modern and attractive. It's quiet, but colleagues staying in rooms on lower floors found they could hear revellers coming home from the nearby Byward market on Saturday night. One strange thing that didn't bother me but several colleagues remarked upon .... There are simply no drawers in the bedrooms - closets and lots of flat... More
