    Nah
    Overall not impressed. Looks nice from the outside and lobby..... but that’s about it. Room was so small and dark and dingy. Even the hallways are so dark. Definitely needs to be painted and new light fixtures everywhere. We parked across the street underground and got locked…

    Very Positive Experience
    Have visited Ottawa many times and my first time at the Arc Hotel. Very pleased with the staff and amenities and right in the middle of downtown Ottawa. Would recommend staying here as an alternative to other hotels that I have stayed in.

    Was okay...
    We booked the B&B package (breakfast and valet parking included)...was really expensive for what you got. Asked for a room on the higher floors and got put on the 4th floor, so kind of bummed about that. The staff are incredibly nice and the rooms are large and comfortable but…

    Staff were exceptional
    Ajay and Spencer were absolutely fantastic to deal with. The hotel location is perfect within walking distance to everything. Room was exceptionally clean. Our room was a good size the bed was super comfortable. The ONLY downfall is I think you have to do valet parking which was…

    Dear valuable guest, thank you for your kind words and for recognizing the efforts by Ajay and Spencer. In regards to your comment about valet parking unfortunately it is the only option at the property due to a limited amount of space but we normally offer other alternatives options at near by parking lots. We hope that you can visit us again in the future. Best regards from the team at the Arc.

    When I leave to go to the airport I have to catch a charter flight at 7:00am so I guess I'll have to leave at least 2 hours before that, depending on information I get from the tour company. Is there a shuttle to the airport at that time or how long and approximately how much would a taxi cost?
    Judith - don't think there is a shuttle as the Arc Hotel is downtown. I assume you are staying two nights? If you are only staying the night between your late arrival and early departure you'd want to stay at one of the airport hotels. But you must be staying a full day in Ottawa. You'll see I paid around CAN$ 40 for taxi w/ tip. Enjoy!

    I will be arriving late (11:00pm+) to check-in. How long does it take by taxi from the airport?
    Hi Judith: I just did the taxi from airport to the Arc Hotel. It didn't take too long. Especially without traffic I'd say 20-30 minutes. Cost was CAN$41 including tip. Fare was probably CAN$35 or so.
