ByWard Market Hotels, Ottawa

"I recently spent 4 nights at The Business Inn. A wonderful property. The location just off Elgin is very handy – good transit access and easy walking distance to most areas of downtown. My 1 bedroom suite was spacious and quiet. There was a well-equipped full kitchen which I did not need to make use of. Very large bathroom with loads of hot water. Two large TVs, one in the living room, one in the bedroom, in-room iron and ironing board. Loved the fact that the in-room lighting was bright and more than sufficient for bedside reading. Included breakfast was very good: hot options (egg bites, breakfast sandwiches, oatmeal) were very welcome. Great coffee, juice, bottled water, etc. Lots of room to eat in the breakfast room or overflow room, though many guests just port their choices back to their rooms. There are also free laundry and 24/7 fitness though I used neither. Staff were very solicitous and responsive. The only real negative is that the in-room coffee is just awful. They really ought to spring for Keurig or Nespresso machines in the rooms. My tip: pick up your morning coffee in the breakfast room – one or two cups as you require – and take it to your room. You can always reheat later as needed in the microwave. One final remark. The management has opted for heavy paper plates, cups, compostable coffee cups lids and cutlery, which is amazing. But there is no recycling in either the breakfast room nor the rooms. Still, a real gem and I will be back."

"Absolutely beautiful place to stay, room was very clean, lots to see and the dining/food was fabulous. A few items to note: front desk check-in was a bit slow (especially for bring pre-booked), breakfast is not complimentary and fairly expensive. We chose to eat breakfast elsewhere (but had a really top-notch meal in the hotel the evening before). The phone chargers and both reading lamps in the room were not functional. All in all would highly recommend for the experience, beauty, and excellent location for nearby amenities (Parliament tours, Rideau Centre mall and parking, the Byward Market and an endless choice of restaurants. "

"Room was very clean and recently renovated, front desk staff were very friendly and efficient, the complimentary breakfast was great. "

"Tajas. the lovely man at the front desk was extremely helpful with my phone problem. All of the staff was very helpful. I had to be at the Queensway hospital and the GLO is not to far away from there for a perfect quiet hotel to rest in. Victoria."

"Clean room"

"I’ve stayed at Brookstreet Hotel many times over the years, and it has always been a place I genuinely look forward to returning to. The service, atmosphere, and overall experience have consistently been excellent, which is why I continue to choose it. However, this most recent stay was not as enjoyable. I was placed in a room that was connected to a neighboring room by a door, and unfortunately the soundproofing was very poor. I could clearly hear conversations from the other room both early in the morning and late at night, which made it quite difficult to sleep and relax. This was disappointing given my past experiences, and I do hope that in future visits I can be placed in a room with better sound insulation. I still value this hotel highly and hope this was just an isolated issue."

"We loved this place. Dated but comfy vibes. We had the 2 bed suite which felt like an apartment! It was an apt really. Perfect for travelling with children. We were very happy. "

"Stayed here many times, love the atmosphere."

"Fantastic clean, classy and modern room for short to longer term stays. The staff really made the Arlo outstanding though! Welley, Dennis and Nathan were helpful and warm! "
