Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Ottawa Embassy Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Accommodations were spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is walking distance to many tourist attractions. I will stay here again."

Ottawa Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property was clean, the staff was super helpful, there is limited onsite parking but there is a secondary lot if needed. The restaurant or portion of the lobby was undergoing construction at the time of my stay but they remained respectful and kept construction during the day and avoided quiet hours"
