Great location, great service
Visited Ottawa as a tourist for 4 days. The Arc located within walking distance to several Ottawa destinations like Capital Hill, Byward Market and the National Gallery. There are many restaurants close by, especially if you don't mind a short walk to Bank Street. The room was clean and smelled fresh. We asked for down/feather bedding to be removed prior to arrival and it was. We only ate breakfast in the Arc Lounge Restaurant, and it was fresh, well prepared and delicious. Staff were all friendly, welcoming and attentive. Our room faced the street, and at times there was alot of traffic noise, sometimes disrupting sleep - earplugs were the answer! The bathroom was very small - functional and clean, just not much room for toiletries and to hang towels. Overall an excellent stay and good value for the price.

Pros: location was amazing (walking distance to everything! 5-10 mins! Awesome!) and their on site parking feels really safe as underground and private (you need a special code to access). Loved that we could park early as well before checkin to do some sights and shopping beforehand. Hotel looked kept up well and the room was decent size for one night. It looked clean, with just a few areas needing touchups. Staff super friendly and helpful. Cons: water pressure for shower was really low. But I think the major point to consider is if you’re a light sleeper: you can always hear when someone is taking a shower or if doors are opening/closing. At one point, there was 5 mins of constant opening and closing of doors that we thought there was an emergency going on but if was just regular traffic/ cleaning services. They def need to up the budget on noise reduction/doora as I probably will choose another hotel next time if we stayed overnight again. We had a good stay but that definitely made our stay rating more adequate than good

Was charged $50 for having a small dog and $25 to park vehicle after booking online with Expidia letting them know I wanted a pet friendly room and parking available. Cost should have been 160$ plus taxes after 1 night it was $301. Not worth it at all room was small very cheaply set up but everything over charged. Staff was nice tho

Very convenient location. It's at the very heart of Ottawa. You can walk to Parliament and downtown. If you want to go to other sites and places in the city, you can ake the bus or metro, both of which are accessible outside the hotel. The hotel is also clean and well-maintained. The front desk is fast and efficient. The only con might be the tiny rooms. The bed and furniture are cramped into a small space.

As soon as we walked into the lobby we were greeted with a friendly welcome. The staff were attentive, kind and even helped us park! The parking garage is behind the hotel and could accommodate our 2019 Toyota RAV… check if your vehicle will fit if it’s taller than most. The room was clean and the bed was oh so comfortable!!! We were in a corner unit and had no noise. We would definitely staycation here again.
