“I found The Metcalfe to be a boutique property with a vibrant social atmosphere, yet it still knows how to deliver an understated sense of luxury. Its prime location makes Ottawa's landmarks easily accessible, which I appreciate as an editor. The hotel's design strikes me as both modern and respectful of its historic setting.”

noisy atrium outdated gym
I was frustrated by a couple of things. the room faced the atrium and it was surprisingly noisy. Doors slamming and voices echoed quite badly. it was hard to relax. also. the gym was pretty disappointing. It only had a couple of old machines and some free weights. we loved the location. but the experience could have been much better!

dingy appearance inconsistent service
The hotel location is good. Parliament hill is walkable.
the dining room had a dingy appearance, which i found disappointing. the bar advertised happy hour from 3 to 6, but i was charged full price for a beer and wine order. the barman initially claimed happy hour was only until 5, then changed his story when proven wrong (this inconsistency was frustrating).

Fantastic Experience!

cute lobby professional staff
I enjoyed the cute lobby. Natural light streamed through the skylight. The menu at Cocotte was AMAZING!!! The restaurant and the hotel staff were consistently friendly and professional. My room was very clean and well equipped.
My room was on the 4th floor facing the street, and I heard noise from downstairs late at night. I could clearly hear people from the bar, and this happened every night of my stay. I was disappointed.
Location

The location is great. Many national museums and shops are within walking distance. The hotel's central position makes it easy to explore many attractions without needing transportation. This accessibility adds significant value.
