Dear Geoff, We are glad that the hotel met your expectations. We appreciate your comments on the breakfast, snack and location.Keep us in mind for future visits. Thank you for staying with us. Sincerely, ByWard Blue Inn
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.

A gem of a place to stay in a beautiful city
Pros:
Breakfast, Teatime, Rooms, and Great location. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Close by parking.
Location:
Close to all the great sites and great pubs and restaurants. All walking distance. A very fun place to be.
A great experience! A very comfortable Inn that is in a safe, quiet area. Covered parking garage is located right next to the Inn and is very affordable with easy access. The INN is in a great location next to the Byward Market and very close walking to Parliament and other great centers e.g. National Art Museum, Parks. Many great pubs and restaurants located very near. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the rooms that had refrigerators, microwave, coffeepot, robes and other amenities. The beds were very comfortable. Really enjoyed the balcony that had a table and chairs to sit outside and enjoy morning coffee of your favorite beverage. The Breakfasts were great with a nice selection of food. In the afternoon they offer Tea Time that includes snacks. We also enjoyed the complimentary Sauna time they offer. Very nice price. We will definitely stay here again.

Great little place in a great location
Pros:
Everything.
Location:
It is in the historic Byword Market area. See above.
Staff very friendly and handed you a paper with all your questions answered which you could carry with you as you explored the neighborhood. Parking was extra but very convenient; literally right next door and in a garage. It was close to the market area yet very quiet. Easy and safe walking distance to market, parliament hill, rideaux canal, national art gallery. Room was very roomy and airy with a balcony with a view of Parliament Hill. Room was immaculate and fully equipped, including a refrigerator/freezer and real plates, glasses, and silverware, and a table for 2 to eat at. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast buffet was excellent. One of the best places we have stayed at and we travel a lot. Great value!

Close to the Action In Ottawa
Pros:
Breakfast, location, staff.
Cons:
Since it's the slow season, my room didn't get cleaned until late in the afternoon. This is a minor issue.
Location:
Close to major attractions like National Gallery, the Royal Mint, Parliament, Rideau Canal. Byward Market has tons of restaurants.
This was my second stay at the Byward Blue. I had previously visited during the week of Canada Day. Things were quieter and more relaxed this time since it was off-season (a few days before Christmas). I like the location of the hotel. It's one-half block off of Byward Market, easy walking distance from the National Gallery, Parliament and shopping. A major transit line runs 1/2 block away and other bus lines are five minutes away. I was able to make it everywhere on foot or by bus. I even took the bus to a Senators hockey game. Breakfast is nice. A step up from the "free breakfast" I'm used to when staying in the US. Lots of options for food and they change it up each day. The staff are friendly Ottawa really goes all-out for Christmas, very pretty at night. I will probably stay here again should I be in Ottawa in the future.

GOOD LOCATION AND VALUE FOR THE MONEY
We were there four nights and had a good stay. Breakfast included gives good value for the price. Staff were ok, not overly friendly but gave us assistance when needed. The room was quite small but it was clean and to us that is what is important. The WiFi always worked and was free as well. LOTS of great eating places close by and all the history you need as well.
