This hotel is close to parliament hill and the vat of eels that we call our politicians. So if you are doing any lobbying, or just planning on heckling John Baird it is a great spot! More

My stay at the Lord Elgin for business was very good. The hotel is located near the historic area and also walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and clean. The hotel offers free WiFi in the lobby (but not the rooms) and has a business center. I found the staff very helpful whether it was a... More

I loved this hotel. Historic building with modern upgrades...everything was very clean, spacious and the staff was great. There's also valet parking for an extra charge which is very convenient and the location is nice. Can't ask for anything else! More

We stayed at the Lord Elgin hotel during our long weekend visit to Ottawa in June 2011. It has an excellent location. All main tourist attractions and start points of city tours are within walking distance. Valet parking has reasonable prices. Our room was bigger than I expected and of course was very clean. Our stay at this hotel was... More

Nice hotel but very loud, mostly due to housekeeping staff. They need to use door stops while they're cleaning rooms because they're constantly slamming doors. We traveled with small children who were woken up several times. The "do not disturb" sign was on the door but they still called the room to make sure we didn't need towels, etc. They... More

Location is aces, room was bigger and better than I expected, a comfortable bed indeed, everything “worked” and housekeeping staff put a smile on my face. We were in and out with our car several times, the fellows on the valet desk were really pleasing. We dined, the kitchen is top drawer. Seafood chowder and bread pudding are to write... More

Impressive exterior, nice Edwardian lobby, 1930s style lifts. Pleasant room with everything you would expect in a decent hotel. Marvellous view of a government offices a few metres away but they never turned their lights off all night. Valet parking 25$ worth it to do without the hassle. Never did find out where they put the car. Excellent location close... More

Typical hotel room--clean, quiet and the king bed was comfy. Best thing about the hotel is its location near museums, the canal and shopping. Concierge not too helpful finding a restaurant for dinner. Pricy but it is located in the middle of downtown Ottawa. More

My wife and I stayed for 8 nites for a conference. Location gives easy access to many sites including Convention Centre, Parliament and Byward Market. Comfortable bed, good housekeeping - very clean. Towels were just ok. We had no view...offices and construction. A little noisy from buses and activity at street level but not disturbing for us. More
