Byward Blue is in easy walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants, shops, museums, and locations of historical interest. The balcony was a great place to sit and relax in the evenings. The breakfast was consistently excellent and the afternoon snacks were much appreciated. It's a delightful hotel and added value to our visit to Ottawa.

I stayed overnight, so experience was limited. However can say there's nothing negative I can say. The property and room are lovely and quaint. Beautiful view of the city from the room I stayed in. My stay there was excellent and I will stay there whenever I come to Ottawa.

The location is excellent, near the Byward market area. An indoor municipal garage is literally next door. Staff was helpful and friendly, and the included breakfast was excellent. The only issue we had was the air conditioning. The only a/c in our two-bedroom unit was a floor standing unit blowing cold air. The second bedroom had no a/c, no vent, no window. Even leaving the door to that room open, the temperature was still very warm. It was an unusually hot weekend, in all fairness.

Convenient to Byward and Winterlude.

Pros: Staff, location, breakfast, afternoon tea.
Cons: Could use some sprucing up in places.
Location: Residential area . Tons of excellent restaurants and shops in Byward. US Embassy 3 blocks away. Rideau Canalway is a 5-10 minute walk.
We visit Winterlude every year and normally look for reasonably priced accommodations within walking distance of the canal and restaurants. Although the hotel is showing some signs of age and wear, we found it to be very comfortable and clean. The staff was exceptionally helpful and professional. The morning breakfast was a nice combination of hot and cold offerings along with fruit and baked goods. The afternoon tea was also a pleasant surprise with hot drinks and snacks . Indoor parking is very convenient and priced at average costs for the area. We would certainly stay here again.
