Acariens dans cet hotel
De retour à la maison, j’ai noté des piqûres d’acariens dans le dos et le côté de mon corps . J’ai beaucoup de démangeaisons et de brûlures. Je ne vais plus jamais aller à cet hôtel insalubre et j’aimerais bien avoir un remboursement

A lovely gem - modern building set in historic Lowertown. Wonderful breakfast included. Don't forget to check out the paintings in the stairway. Staff were very friendly, super helpful.

The owners and staff are excellent. Great location to the market and Rideau Centre. Numerous restaurants and lovely Christmas singers and entertainment. They include a tasty breakfast with a variety of options. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed. Will be back👍

I like that this hotel is located right in the Byward Market. It is in fairly walkable distance from some of the main museums of Ottawa. The housekeeping staff at the hotel do such a good job of taking care of my room. The hotel reception staff were ready to take care of my needs. I noticed that they do not leave complimentary hand soaps like they used to. I think that management at the hotel should start doing that again. Overall, it was a wonderful stay at the Byward Blue Inn.
