Andaz ByWard Market, Ottawa

Nice quiet room with good outside view. Close to tourist attractions and university.

No self-parking, while valets are not punctual. On departure day, planning a long drive, I in advance requested my car present in 6:15am and was promised it, but I've got it only at 6:45am. Bed pillows were all the same and too small for me. Bed sheets and layers under tried to move/jam each night. Surrounding city area is crowded with homeless people and rough due to many constructions.

Wonderful location right by Byward Market, plenty of restaurants and cafés in walking distance. Big room with comfortable beds.

Good location excellent staff

Starting to show age, wear and tear

It’s a stylish hotel that is comfortable.

Parking!!! There is a small lot (8 spaces) only for parking. Valet was closed. The next parking lot is 3-4 blocks away, which means most people have to walk to a parking lot with all their luggage. The lots are not secure and while we were there a number of colleagues had cars broken into. So unless you’re flying in or coming to Ottawa without a car, this hotel isn’t a great option.

New and modern installations.

Doesn’t have valet parking. Noise neighborhood.

Room is large and very comfortable

I had a full view on a construction side, it was very noisy in the early morning

Location

Barely comfortable for the price

Lovely view, room excellent and a real plus to be able to open a window!

The food available was so so.

Location in the ByWard Market is excellent! Great room and staff was extremely friendly and caring

Nothing really

in centre of everything

no free breakfast

Location was great. Rooms were nice. Staff was friendly and very responsive. Breakfast was good and rooftop bar was very cool with a great view. In room snacks and drinks were a lovely touch. Short walk to lots of sight seeing and nice restaurants in the Market.

Bathroom door didn't close well due to slider mechanism. Pillows were flat but turns out you could ask for fluffier ones.

The location was perfect for what we needed it for. Close to where we wanted to visit.

The room was lovely, comfortable and clean and the staff were incredibly helpful to me as my airline had lost my luggage

Mini bar options were limited and as I arrived after 11pm after 24+ hrs of travelling I didn’t want to go out

Location

Staff was a little cold

Well maintained, great location. A bit of a dorm room feel, ho hum furniture but very comfortable bed. Great location.

Insufficient parking. You need enough room for everyone you charge. Luckily we were offered a reserved spot.

It's the first time I've been to a hotel that is clean like that! Wonderful job done by the staff to keep the property clean. The room is big enough. Unlimited snacks, beverages, refills, etc. Well maintained. Security at night at the lobby.

If you are facing the parliament hill, it will be loud at night. People screaming on the streets, sirens, music, etc. (was worse on Saturday night). But they furnish ear plugs in your room. The risk to be in vibrant neighborhood. A lot of homeless people surrounding the hotel but that's everywhere on the streets and security staff is there at night.

The hotel is in the city center. Within walking distance of many sights, and shopping centers. Wi-Fi in the room was very fast. The front desk staffs are always smiling and very friendly.

The only small drawback was that there was no larger trash can in the room. I had to unpack a shopping bag myself to use as a trash storage bag.

The room was large, clean, fresh, stylish and hip. The bed was very comfortable.

we couldn't get the thermostat go higher than 22/71. We prefer the room to be a bit warmer so we found it just a touch cool. It took us a while to figure out the shower - it was not communicated that it's a tankless ystem so one has to wait for the water to get hot - but we eventually did and it was great. We had a problem new year's eve with kids running the halls and making unacceptable noise for several hours. I should have called for help but I dealt with it myself. It was not fun. The food at the restaurant was good - not all the way to great - and my meals did not arrive very hot. They were tepid. The Byward Market area is a bit...funky, though that's the choice I made.

Lovely and cooperative receptionist made the check-in & check-out process very easy and smooth. The location was near to the mall, restaurants and many convenience store.

Room service wasn't available on my stay no one was answering the phone for breakfast or dinner, so I had to eat outside the hotel.

The room

Front entrance wasn’t ggreated

Everything in the inside

The noise from outside, there were protests at night. It sure if anyone called the police to complain

Front staff was amazing!! It was our anniversary and they gave us complimentary parking, gave us free drinks. The office admin even moved their vehicle for us to park when we couldn't find a spot. We came from upstate NY and everyone here was so beyond kind. We would never see this in the states. Loved this trip tremendously!

The surrounding area took us by surprise with all the homeless peoples and drugs on the street however, we had no problems. Staff was MORE than helpful and very accommodating.

Great hotel. Modern, comfortable.

Very friendly room service. Loved the free packet of crisps!

Booking.com was horrible with the reservations. I found a cheaper rate, and if course, as true to form for Booking.com, did not honour it. Still have not even received an email. Booking.com has horrible customer service.

Seamless check-in and check-out, friendly and attentive staff, great location in market and walking distance to downtown. Room was clean and spacious. Even though I was initially concerned about being on a lower floor, the view was unobstructed and facing a quiet street without much light pollution. Bed was very comfortable!

Parking was quite expensive. Housekeeping also came very late during the day which was a bit inconvenient. And oddly, they ran out of slippers!
