Alt Hotel Ottawa

This was a great stay for a weekend in Ottawa. The staff are very helpful and the location is a short walk to a lot of sites, shopping, and food options. The area felt very safe at all times including a wobbly walk home later at night. There is no hotel parking but they have options nearby.nnThe room was unique in how the shower looks into the main space and visaversa. It is frosted glass but that only protects you much. The closet was a bit of a treasure hunt and there are no drawers to lay out any clothes outside your suitcase. It was a large room though and the bed was comfortable. There is a Nespresso machine with pods for you to use. That was a nice touch. The hotel was busy but also very quiet. My room was at the end of the hall and I never heard anything from any other guest.nnThe lobby has a nice little coffee shop/bar. Be sure to ask how much things are because two late night probably not needed glasses of house wine set me back $40 with tip.nnThe hotel sends you a link before arrival so you can set up your account and check out was super easy. Overall I would ABSOLUTELY visit Ottawa again but with more time. I would also stay at this hotel again.

We went to the bar Lounge Alt Ottawa and it was out of everything - no tonic, no lager, no mint, no grenadine, no egg whites. The bartender was very accommodating but she could not make half the drinks on the menu as she didn’t have the ingredients! We contemplated leaving but the bartender, Grace, was so kind and accommodating.nnPlease restock your bar so we can try more drinks on the menu! 3 starts only because of Grace, otherwise this would be a 1 star review.

I'm usually a huge fan of the Alt as I've stayed in a few locations. Surprised there is NO parking at this location, especially considering the price tag per room and the deep winter cold of Ottawa in the winter. Didn't make sense to me. The check in was easy enough and room was clean and roomy, however I had requested a room away from the elevator and got put into the accessible room not needed directly access across from the elevator lol. I understand that it may have been due to availability reasons, but the walk back from dropping off my car in a random outdoor parking lot freezing!, the room location just left a bad taste in my mouth.nI'd recommend this place in the summer or if you're not driving, but - 20s walks with luggage.. That's a pass for me.

This well located hotel close to Sparks and Parliament Hill has nice rooms and a great lobby. The staff was great, everyone super welcoming and helpful. The cafe offers plenty of healthy and delicious food and snack options and good espresso, and it's open 24 hours which is great for busy trips when you're on the go.nnNot much in the way of weights in the fitness room if you're a gym buff, but for the price I'm not mad at it. Overall the Alt Hotel was a great value and I'm happy to recommend it.

Very nice and cozy place! Also very kind service. We had check-in at 3:00 PM, but we arrived earlier and wanted to ask if we could leave our suitcases until our check-in time, to which we were told that they could check us in two hours earlier. Thank you!
