We stayed at Novotel Ottawa in August 2011 - I've been a bit slack with writing the review. Anyway wanted to share that it is a great location - just across the road from the Rideau shopping centre - through the shopping centre you can access the bus to the airport. It is also a short walk away from Byward... More

First the positive: This is a modern hotel in a perfect location. The room price is reasonable. Its right across the road from the Rideau shopping center, about a 2 min walk to the Byward Market and 5 min walk to the Rideau Canal and Parliament. However, I have seen reviews on Tripadvisor with the exact same issues we had... More

This is a very modern hotel in a perfect location. The price is very reasonable... In my opinion, one of the more affordable hotels in Ottawa. Its right accross the road from the Rideau shopping center, about a 2 min walk to the Byward Market and 5 min walk to the Rideau Canal and Parlement. The rooms are a little... More

It might be better to park across the road at the Rideau Centre parking lot.As has... More

This was an affordable hotel, with a clean room. We had pool access which was a bonus with the kids. The location is very central and convenient. The underground multilevel garage was also a plus. More

Will not stay here again. I have been coming her for several years but this will be the last visit to this hotel. The location is perfect; right across from a shopping center and the Byward Market on the other side; numerous night spots within walking distance; art galleries at every turn. The rooms are small and the bathrooms lack... More
