There is a rat in the restaurant, help! ! ! 😅
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after eating breakfast, I had diarrhea two or three times at noon.
The receptionist felt a bit cold and not very hospitable.
But the tour guide for the free tour is very nice.

The room is clean.
I like his service. I booked the wrong mixed room and he helped me change it for free.
The breakfast is good. The fruit is very sweet. The price is good.
Environment: It is a high-end hotel in isolation.

The transportation is very convenient. Line 1 is just a few minutes' walk away. It is in the very city center.
The room is very small and can't fit a suitcase. It is suitable for backpackers. I brought a 28-inch large suitcase and could only leave it outside to unpack.
The toilet and bathroom are shared and are generally clean.
The front desk lady is very nice and will patiently answer and help if you have any questions.

The room is small and not soundproof. It's enough to experience it once.

1. Take the subway from Ottawa Railway Station to Rideau and walk to the hotel.
2. This is a prison-turned hotel, very creative and worth experiencing.
3. The breakfast is quite rich.
4. Free coffee.
5. You only need to walk to the city center to fully experience the typical architecture and river of the Canadian capital.
6. There are many restaurants in the shopping center with rich choices.
7. Good memories.
8. Will come again.
