    The see-through glass shower! Also the running gap between the 2 doors of the washroom, allowing anyone who's standing outside the door to have a full show of whatever one's up to, in the bath - not sure if these features were a part of room aesthetics - any way i didn't like them at all.

    Staff was courteous, allowed us to check in early, room was clean, loved the toiletries. Kettle for tea was provided on request along with some good choice of teas

    The view from the room was disappointing. Although on the 10th floor, maybe I was just unlucky and got a view to a dismal, closed-off narrow alley with no sunlight. However natural light was OK during the day. The cafe downstairs is very basic, but good if you don't want to go out. There is also a bar but it closes at 11 pm (although it says 2 am in the room...), so maybe not the best place for a last call on the weekend.

    Room and premises were spotless clean, modern equipment/bathroom. Love the fact that it's also an sustainability-certified hotel. There are no extraneous wrappers for soap, or those little sample size plastic bottles. You scan a QR code for the hotel guide. Location is in the business district, 5 min walk from Parliament Hill and 10 min walk to Byward Market and Rideau Centre. Very quiet at night, I felt I was alone on the floor!

    I wish that the price was just a bit more affordable. While I loved the staff and the room, there were no extra amenities to really justify the price for one person. That being said, I understand that most hotel prices are really high right now.

    Extremely friendly and helpful staff--- even at 3am! The facilities were clean and quiet. I loved the Chromecast with the TV.

    Nothing per se. Downtown Ottawa has few amenities in the weekend. Perhaps hotel could have provided more assistance there but that is not really their fault.

    Room layout. Minimalist. Clean clean. Want to avoid hotel bugs. Having. The Goat cafe or coffee is an excellent idea given the lack good coffee places close by and available eateries.

    Despite having individual temperature controls for the room the room temperature would never go below 22C. Parking is available in an above-ground garage across the street but be aware that it is NOT secure, and on the day I left someone had their vehicle broken into.

    Excellent location. Rooms are very clean, stylish "loft" design, and recently renovated/constructed (almost appear brand new).

    Perfectly servicable hotel, without anything outstanding in either direction

    * The view from the window was okay but far from great, even after explicitly stating that I preferred a decent view. * Room didn’t have a bathtub; definitely neither a huge deal nor anything I looked for when ordering, but a plus if it is there, which it wasn’t.

    * Personal at check-in got the hint when I told them that I only used initials for my first name, because Germany doesn’t have a self-ID law and did not misgender me. * Position was great * Room and bathroom were pretty okay. * Room had a table and chairs

    Would be nice to have a fridge in the room.

    Staff was so nice. My daughter got food poisoning at a local restaurant. The room staff, Andrea, went out of her way to help us, bringing extra supplies and ginger ale. The front desk made a little care package for her.

    If you are coming by car, note that you will need to pay for the car park in front of the hotel even at weekend. It was advertised as being free somewhere on weekends, but this is not correct.

    Good hotel, nice room and kind services, the area iso, but nothing amazing.

    Duvet on the bed was too hot. We turned down the A/C as low as it would go but we were still too hot. Made for a very bad nights sleep.

    Clean, close to downtown. Beds were very comfortable. Good value for the location.

    The air conditioning unit in our room was noticeably loud, which was a bit disruptive, especially during the night. Additionally, the bathroom door was designed like a saloon door, which meant it couldn't be locked and lacked sound isolation. This design choice, while unique, didn't offer much in terms of privacy and noise control.

    The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the smart design of the rooms. Every aspect of the room was thoughtfully laid out, maximizing comfort and functionality in an aesthetically pleasing way. It was evident that great care was taken in the design to ensure a seamless and enjoyable stay for guests. The staff at the hotel is great. From the moment we arrived, they were welcoming and friendly. They went above and beyond by allowing us to check in earlier than the stated time, which was a great convenience. They were attentive and helpful throughout our stay, promptly assisting us with various requests.
