Book Vars hotels

Hotel is in a great location. It is within walking distance of all amenities. The gym is amazing, with all the different equipment.

During the summer the University of Ottawa converts some of its dorm rooms into hotel rooms. The rooms are large and clean. The room was private with a private bathroom. It was obviously not luxurious, but it was more than adequate. It is a 15 minute walk to Parliament. I would stay here again.

Excellent !!!

Great place. Good housekeeping every day. Spacious upgraded unit. Only unfortunate thing was my room was on the 16th floor but it faced east and the truck noise was very loud from the street which made keeping the windows or balcony door impossible. I would ask for a west-facing room next time. Otherwise great spot.

I've been twice now to WELCOME INNS, lovely hotel. Everyone are very pleasant, helpfull. Always clean and we love the quietness when staying in room.

Staying at ‘The Residence’ was convenient and comfortable. It was in close proximity to be Canadian Tire Centre, where the college held its graduation ceremony. As well, it’s walking distance to stores and restaurants. The room itself was two bedrooms with a kitchenette and washroom that had a standup shower. Towels, soap, shampoo, and bed linens were provided. Each room had a double bed, which was comfortable, and clean. Each room also had an open closet where you can hang stuff, and a desk with a bank of drawers where you could put clothes if you choose. The kitchenette had a full size fridge, microwave, and sink. No kitchen supplies, plates, cups, cutlery, etc. was provided. So pack your paper plates, napkins, and anything else you think you will need! There is no living room or TV, but it was not necessary for our stay. For those staying more than one night, you may want to bring your tablet and download a couple movies. ;-) Wi-Fi is also available here. Our only complaint is the parking situation. Though it was close, there was no designated wheelchair accessible parking (which we required). And it was a distance to carry all of our luggage. It’s not typical for your usual hotel, though I recognize this is not a “hotel”. All in all, it was a good experience! I’d recommend it for families of students, or anyone who has business in the local area.
