Swiss Hotel is a small boutique in central Ottawa, praised for spotless rooms, friendly owner, and convenient walkability to ByWard Market, Parliament, and the Rideau Centre, though many note compact rooms and the surrounding streets can feel a bit sketchy.

The Swiss Hotel has a great location which is close to the University of Ottawa, a 10 minute walk to the O train (which can take you to the Via Rail station or the airport at a minimal cost), and a 15 minute walk to the parliament buildings. The rooms are on the small side, but are very clean and have everything you really need. It is in an historic but completely renovated building so is only three floors, but no elevator. The owners live in the building and offer free coffee and a friendly chat in the morning if desired. If you are looking for a small, very clean hotel at a reasonable cost and great location and feels like a home away from home, I highly recommend this hotel.

The owner was very friendly - nice lounge room. Great option if you’re looking for a smaller more intimate hotel in the Byward Market area.
