Absolutely the best hotel experience I've had in years. This simple, unassuming building is BIG on well appointed amenities, a delicious included breakfast and excellent location very close to the Byward market and Parliament buildings. Private patios on the ground floor or balconies on the upper levels, great water pressure, air conditioning and ample storage as well as a comfortable bed with well appointed plugs and a full length mirror. 5/5 across the board! Oh, and all this for a budget hotel price!

We loved having a key instead of a keycard!
The in-room coffee maker and kettle allowed us to ease into our morning on the balcony before going down for breakfast. The room was very clean and well organized, as well as quiet. Within walking distance to many sites in downtown Ottawa. luckily the building is well insulated because it’s one block away from Byward Market which seemed to be party central at night, but we did not hear a thing!

Best breakfast buffet I've had in a hotel ever. They had breakfast wraps! Another guess said that the many rotates too. They had lots of other options too. And cold brew coffee! Just wonderful!

I stayed in a cute lil suite on the 6th floor, with a mini kitchen, including a fridge and a microwave,a lovely balcony with a table and chair, and a little breakfast nook table set up. Everything was clean. Bed and pillows were comfy, though the mattress was a little bouncier than I'd like. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would 100% stay here again.

I was really pleased with my stay at The Byward Blue. It was near to everything I needed, very central generally, clean, modern bathroom and kitchenette, had a lovely outdoor setting at back, and the balcony was great on warm days. Additionally, it had a great breakfast included, where they didn’t mind at all if you took a few things up to your room. I had one small problem with my balcony door not closing well, and they took care of that right away. Very responsiveness all round. I’ll definitely be going back and will be sure to recommend to friends. Thx for your hospitality.

Byward is a charming well-located motel. Staff were friendly and helpfull. There are two outstanding problems for us. 1. the air conditioner faces directly at the beds, and we had a headache in the morning with cold air blowing directly at our heads, and it was too hot to turn it off or raise the temperature. 2. the bathroom fan was so very loud
These two problems aside, we had a pretty good stay at the hotel..

It is very convenient to everything. the breakfast was very good. Staff were nice.
the only thing that confused us - we booked the two bedroom room and thought the kitchen area would be more accessible for the four of us. the kitchen area was in fact at the back and in the bedroom making it really on accessible for the two who chose the back bedroom. Taking this into consideration, the room was a weirdly set up. we did however enjoy sitting on the patio.

Location was terrific. The inn was well maintained and clean. Included a great breakfast. Even provided umbrellas for the rainy days. We enjoyed the balcony too.

Excellent small and clean room with microwave, fridge, sink, and kitchen vessels( plates, bowls, spoons), coffee maker and kettle! very small but meaningful and crucial comforts which helped us decide to stay here over other bigger hotels. breakfast was decent, somewhat tough for my wife(she has an egg allergy) so even the so-called vegetarian wrap was not truly vegetarian as it was filled with egg. However this is a problem across North America, so we have gotten used to making do with granola and oats and stuff. Very artistic hotel. nice little balcony with an umbrella(!) where we spent some nice mornings and evenings chatting. Great experience overall!

This was my second time at Byward Blue Inn. You can not beat the price, especially for what you get. This hotel rivals one of the cleanest places I have stayed. The staff are always cleaning the rooms and the common areas. The breakfast is included and wonderful. The lobby staff accommodated any requests that were made. Both times I stayed, they were making improvements to the property (painting and cleaning). This was the perfect space to stay at for my week long conference. It has a kitchen area, fridge, microwave, utensils, coffee maker and more. The balcony was great for the fresh air and sunshine. Also, everything was very close. You could walk to everything (Mall, Byward Market, Rogers Centre, Parliament, Parks) and more! I will definitely return.

This hotel is a lovely little gem. So clean!! Unique art with a fun quirky feel to the place. We were in town for a funeral, but will come back when we can explore the market and walk to all the attractions that are conveniently within walking distance. We'll done!

The staff at the Byward Blue Hotel were very helpful. Especially reception staff.
Breakfast was good with gluten free options. It is a convenient location for quite a number of prominent sites.

I refuse to say anything that might convince someone to stay here as it is getting increasingly difficult to even get a booking at what was once my little secret ;)

We had a wonderful stay at this charming inn! The location couldn’t have been better—centrally located in Byward Market and a close walk to everything we wanted to see, yet still quiet and safe. Our room had a private balcony, which was a great bonus! The included breakfast had a variety of fresh and tasty options—one of the best buffets I've had. This inn offers excellent value for money. I would happily stay again and will definitely be recommending it to others.

Okay stay. Area of town is a bit sketchy. There were people cleaning up needles on the street. Not an accessible entrance so we had to carry a stroller up the stairs. Good breakfast.
