Every time I visit Ottawa, I stay at this hotel. For the room rate, you get a decent sized room with a full kitchen that includes stove, full fridge, microwave, toaster, tea kettle, pots, pans, utensils, etc. there is also a nice sized bathroom with a full tub, and the room also comes with a desk and a computer and printer. The hotel is in Centretown, which is very convenient to walk to the main tourist attractions. You do have to pay for parking, but I like that you can choose above or underground for the same price. The free continental breakfast is decent-not just muffins and toast. I eat gluten-free and they have a variety of options available. Front desk is always helpful when I need something, and I like that if you opt out of maid service, you get a $10/day refund.
I will always recommend this hotel to anyone, and will always book here when I come to town.

We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were spacious, clean and tidy. We had incredible shower heads with really nice pressure and hot water that was instant. We had as many towels as needed. We had a very large screen TV to watch World Cup games on. The staff were so welcoming and helpful at all times. The breakfast was bountiful and the selection was more than what we expected it to be and everything was fresh. A 5 out of 5 stay!

We had an amazing stay at this hotel and would gladly return. The staff were exceptional, always friendly, polite, and incredibly helpful throughout our visit.

One of the standout perks was the free guest laundry. It was very convenient, although I hope fellow guests remember to clean the dryer lint filter after use so everyone can enjoy the facilities.

Breakfast was outstanding, with lots, and I mean lots, of options to choose from every morning. We also appreciated the complimentary grab-and-go bag with bottled water, a granola bar, a cookie, and candy, which was a thoughtful touch.
The location is fantastic, within walking distance of many major tourist attractions. Hotel also has a refund or credit if you opt out of housekeeping during your stay.

We stayed in the Signature Suite overlooking Elgin Street, and it exceeded our expectations. The room was huge with a great view, clean and every amenity we could need, just without swimming pool. The hotel rates were very reasonable and offered great value for money.

Great stay. Great breakfast! Only thing I would change is the layout of room 127. Having bed right next to the entrance and bathroom is not very ideal. Louder and will wake up partner if sharing a room with someone and further away from AC means it's warmer in that part of the room. Overall, still a pleasant stay. Would recommend for sure!

We chose the hotel for 1) great location combined with 2) great price. After a very welcoming check-in at 10:30 (thank you Amine) we entered the 1st floor rooms off the outdoor parking lot with some trepidation but Room 124 was spacious and spotless - full kitchenette, storage, couch and coffee table, king size bed, full bath. Also a desktop computer and huge TV that we didn’t use. Little details like a makeup mirror, instant kettle, and reading lamps were appreciated.
The complimentary breakfast offered at least twice what the average Hilton property provides. We didn’t use them but there is also a gym and laundry facilities. The only noise we heard over our 3 night stay were a few vehicles on Saturday night.
We took advantage of luggage storage after checkout on our departure day and once again the front desk staff were kind and accommodating.
It feels like a property that is managed well from the top down and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay - now off to 4 nights in Montreal at 3 x the price 😁

The buffet breakfast choices were amazing. Our room was very spacious and had a full kitchen. Slight drawback was the in-wall air conditioner was slightly louder than I like but with it providing white noise I didn't hear anything outside our room and it kept the room cool enough. They also supply extra fans to promote air circulation in the room if you want. The bed was comfortable and clean. The front staff were amazing. It was a 15 minute walk to parliament and lots of restaurant choice nearby. We would stay here again if we come back to Ottawa.

Great hotel! Walkable to restaurants and places of interest.
My husband has some mobility issues, we were assigned a parking spot close to the elevator for the duration of our stay. This was so helpful to us, so appreciated. Easy underground parking.
Friendly and helpful staff. VERY CLEAN hotel. Free laundry. Free plentiful breakfast. Again kudos to all the staff.
Our space was quite comfortable. Quiet. Balcony. Separate bedroom. Good bed.
We highly recommend and will be back at the Business Inn when in Ottawa.

Hotel location is excellent being near all the local attractions. The room was quite large as well as clean, however. could use a little more updating. Absolutely everything needed was made available. Breakfast was basic although quite good 👍. Staff were both friendly and extremely helpful and went out of their way to assist us. Overall this was a pleasant stay.

I have stayed at numerous hotels over my lifetime, but this is the first one that wasn't lacking anything. Everything was thought of and already there in the hotel room...Air Cleaning machines in both living room and bedroom which I had never seen at any hotel room before, plenty of closets with shelves even for your shoes, sufficient pillows, extra blankets for cold nights, both a refrigerator and a microwave in a hotel with dishes and cutleries. Your generous and complete breakfast menu on the 3rd floor with more breakfast items than I had ever seen at a breakfast-included hotel stay with extra goodies in bags to take out as needed, a balcony, long and spacious enough to open for fresh air as needed and a computer with a printer for business or personal use. I'm impressed, and I thank you all, your staff and the courteous manner of your business.
The Business Inn Hotel & Suites is my go-to hotel anytime I'm in Ottawa.

I was very concerned with some of the poor reviews I saw before booking the signature suite, but I must say this was a very great deal for the set up I met. We went as a family of 5 with 2 kids under 6 and 2 older kids. They had amenities that were important for a large family from cutlery to bedding in addition to the amenities that came with the room. It was a spacious and clean room. The only thing I look forward to seeing change is the carpet. Hopefully have it changed to tiles or hardwood floor. Regardless, if I were to visit downtown Ottawa again, I will definitely stay at the Business Inn.

Their free breakfast was well thought out and catered to many needs. My very picky eater devoured 3 waffles and many new meals he hadn't tried yet. Egg breakfast was delish and my toddler had his Cheerios he kept crying for (which I had thought wouldn't be available). The older kids had a great meal also as there were lots of options to choose from.

One thing that got me a little bit concerned was that I met the receptionists eating (full blown meal not snacks) inmmat their desk while trying to check us in. I would assume that they will have their break time in a private space. Where I come from, eating publicly while trying to serve a customer would be perceived as a little unprofessional. I mention this so that if it is a put off for anyone, to know that this wouldn't change your experience.

In all 4.8/5 because there is always room for improvement

Loved staying at the Business Inn! Our room was amazing, very spacious, extremely clean, and so comfy! Full size fridge and stove, so we will be returning if we ever need a longer stay, and will recommend to family who come to visit. There is a Farm Boy a few blocks away, it would be easy to save money by doing your shopping at the storage and making something in your room. There are lots of restaurants within steps of the hotel, as well as fast food. The breakfast buffet is HUGE. They have everything, and also have to-go bags prepared that you can grab if you're in a rush. The bed was very comfy and crisp. We had a perfect stay here, we will return for sure.
