Half a block from the main area of Byward market, friendly staff. I like the laminated floors rather than carpeted in other hotels, the bed was fine, the furnishing was decent, the amenities were good, the TV wasn't HD (I don't think) but I'm not a tv-watcher, anyway. An excellent choice for a budget hotel. The only down side I... More

My usual hotel was sold out so I stayed here for a few days while at a convention in the new convention centre. It was easy walking distance to the centre, to the Rideau Mall and to the Parliament buildings and that was my favourite part. My room was rather scuffed, from the door frame to the laminate floor. The... More

The Byward Blue Inn is located in the ByWard Market area of Ottawa. It's location, on a quiet, residential street is perfect. It's convenient to the Market area and downtown Ottawa for getting around but it's just far enough off the main street area that sounds from the street don't disturb at night. The bed was very comfortable and supportive.... More

I'll start by saying that I would recommend the ByWard Blue Inn to anyone visiting Ottawa. The location could hardly have been any better (we only had to take two cab rides for our 4 day stay - from the Via Rail station and back). While staying at the hotel, you are within walking distance of all of the best... More

I spent two nights at the ByWard Blue Inn in January 2012 and was quite pleased. THE LOCATION was perfect! It was close to everything! Walking distance from the National Art Gallery, Ottawa Convention Centre, Rideau Centre, ByWard Market, National Arts Centre, Parliament Hill, University of Ottawa, Rideau Canal and a lot of boutiques, galleries, cafes, restaurants and pubs! MY... More

Great location, very clean, breakfast and tea time were lovely! I didn't want to leave this review for fear of making the Inn too popular :) Noise levels were a little high, but could be due to proximity to the elevator. More

What a terrific, quaint, affordable, and convenient place to stay in Ottawa. While not luxurious by the 4 & 5 Star standards it is CLEAN and COMFORTABLE and exceeds any 3 star place I've stayed at before. The room had everything one could ask for (Fridge, Microwave, Coffee pot, television, an extremely comfortable bed, free internet access and a hot... More

Staff were very pleasant and helpful. I liked my room except I found the floor a bit dirty... I was wearing socks& when I pit my feet up on the white bed some nasty dirt and the odd hair came off. Ew. The breakfast wasn't great, but it was a treat to have free coffee& snacks at their afternoon tea... More

I completely agree with Bill M's review. The place is very clean and comfortable. I also did the blind bargain from Expedia. We have a 2 twin-beds room. The beds are European sizes. They are not suitable for big size people, we are small size people so that's not a problem. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. It could... More
