Summary: I have only one complaint, the hotel is too cold

Valerie Sep 27, 2025 02:06:38 PM

Summary: Great emplacement

Marthe Sep 19, 2025 02:46:20 AM

Summary: I enjoyed my stay at the Lord Elgin Hotel. My room was huge for my just myself, which I appreciated after staying in hotels of much smaller size on the same trip. I appreciated the room service option for breakfast. The hotel is perfectly located to visit all the main attractions, nothing is far away. There are also some nice restaurants in the area. I was also happy to see that the gym had a decent level of equipment. I would just say that the entrance was not quite as grand as in the pictures. Also, it seems to be a popular hotel for locals from Ontario, so reception can get very busy.

Summary: We were checked-in by Charlotte who was absolutely lovely. Our room was okay but a bit on the small side. The bed was small as was the bathroom which you could barely close the door. I guess city space is at a premium. The room was clean and had all the necessary amenities. On the 3rd night of our stay I noticed the room next door was a bit noisy but as I was able to get back to sleep I didn’t mind so much, however the last night of our stay was really noisy and continued for most of the night. The doors were being banged closed and they were in and out all night. It also sounded like furniture was being moved about. I was fully awake and could not get back to sleep from 5 am. Not good especially with a 5 hour train journey then an 2 hour drive ahead of us. I later realised from hearing someone with a radio entering that this room was being used by staff for whatever purpose. I reported this to the manager at the front desk as we checked out and she said that as I had booked through a ‘third party’ I.e. Hotels.com she couldn’t see the details of my booking and therefore couldn’t do anything at that time. She however assured me that once she had spoken with a senior manager she would reach out to me via email. At this time I’m still waiting for this email. The hotel and its restaurant, which we used a few times was good but this just spoiled what was otherwise a good experience.

Summary: The hotel looks rundown but there was work being done constantly while we were there. The only gripe is the $50 parking, but, it was valet and included in and out privileges. The valets were always quick and cheerful

Kevin Sep 14, 2025 06:13:29 AM

Summary: Another great stay! We got upgraded to an amazing room with a view of the war monument and Chateaux Laurier (don't know why)! Just one night but super comfortable

Rob Sep 5, 2025 06:41:05 AM

Summary: Room was very small but also very nice Staff were great

Kent Sep 2, 2025 01:39:19 AM

Summary: Room smelled, valet inattentive, workers arguing. Alot different than the last time we stayed there. Has been one of my favorite hotels. No concessions made for sleeping in a smelly room.

Summary: Moving out child to University of Ottawa. Needed to stay close to the university

Caroline Aug 25, 2025 06:18:36 AM

Summary: Excellent location near good restaurants, city hall, parliament and Byward market. Check in was fast and lady was very nice and welcoming. Unfortunately its an old hotel and HVAC vent had a weird smell (mold?). The pool was big but cold and the hot tub was circulating germs!!
