Excellent Hotel closed to Byward Market
Our room was beautiful, well appointed and super comfortable. All the staff, from the the Valet guys to the door staff, were excellent. Polite, friendly and efficient. The location was perfect for all the major sites in Ottawa. As an overall package this is hard to beat.

The hotel and amenities were very nice! The restaurant in the hotel has amazing bread that’s made by the chef. The hotel staff are all very friendly and kind. The rooms are very spacious and the bathroom area had heated floors. The curtains don’t fully block out the light so if you need to room dark the sun will slightly shine through the cracks. Hotel is right near the downtown and I’m walking distance of many thing.

The staff is truly fantastic. The food at Norca was exquisite. The bathroom needed a makeover.
