The Swiss Hotel is a very nice and cool spot within walking distance to Byward Market and Parliament Hill. The staff is very friendly and the feel of the olace is very European. It is super clean and in a very quiet neighbourhood. It is close to the Ottawa Mission (so is the massively more expensive Germain Hotel) and other ressources for homeless people so they are around but are not aggressive or bothersome. Just less privileged and/or ill humans trying to get by. We had no problems co-habiting with them and the hotel feels cery safe and I cannot stress the cleanliness enough. It was immaculate!

This is the great gem of Ottawa that few would know. It has charm and elegance, clean, modern and yet has the basic framework of the old building it is with water radiation heating, large board trim etc.. It is now my new favourite place to stay in Ottawa!
