Holiday Inn - Ottawa Dwtn - Parliament Hill, an IHG Hotel

This is a super hotel. One of the top few I’ve stayed in. Somehow the staff hit just the right tone. They are pleasant and chatty but not too informal and not too formal or pretentious. I found the staff were also flexible and helpful. They made me feel welcome and comfortable which is really rare. I loved the room with comfy armchair and a moveable table I used for working. I liked the layout of the room and washroom. For two people it might have been a bit squishy but it was fine for one. Also, there is only one armchair, so a couple would have to fight over it. The location was perfect for me because I was doing research at the National Archives. But it’s also well located for walking to Sparks Street, Bank, Somerset or further afield to Hintonburg.

I liked the location as I was going to the Bluesfest and I could walk there and back..the room was on the small side but very clean and the bed was super comfortable…a suggestion would be to put some spoons and coffee creamer in the room for the coffee machine…I had only sugar and coffee pods..maybe some decaf pods as well. All in all it was quiet and comfy..the staff was also very friendly…I would use this hotel again.

Our room was spacious and very clean. The beds were very comfortable and we got a very good room service. The staff were friendly and helpful. We came for an appointment at one of the embassies as well as for a school march break. The location of the hotel was in a walking distance from the embassy, very convenient. We walked to the Parliament building and several other touristic locations.

The staff that worked in the bar and restaurant was very friendly and we enjoyed sitting at the bar for the two days to chat up with the staff and other visitors. The food was different and well presented also very tasty. Different items on the menu which was also very nice to be able to choose something that you have not had before.
