(Heads up, they do have in and out privileges. There was no wait for check-in, and the front desk was extremely friendly, even sending up a complimentary dessert for our big wedding anniversary. We had a parliament view on the second floor, and it was extremely spacious. The gentleman who showed up with our luggage offered great suggestions for nearby places and things to do. The hotel is equipped with a restaurant, bar and a cafe. The cafe offers some cute bits and bobs to purchase as souvenirs. The front desk suggested taking a hotel tour that is offered through a third party (if I remember correctly), and it was well worth it! I learned about the history of the hotel and the events that happened there. This hotel is just beautiful and needs to be experienced no matter what. I fully recommend a stay here, regardless of how long your stay is, I mean, come on, it's a castle!

Based on the comfort and peace found hanging out in their lounges in Toronto I chose staying for 1 night in Ottawa travelling there for work.

I found myself gravitating toward the lobby when I was there because it was interesting and captivating but the room was spartan and small. My window looked out onto some ducting and allowed very limited natural light in the space. The rest of the room was functional and practical but not stunning or noteworthy. Like others noted the hotel has no parking and the nearest is a parking garage that I could only access by entering on an adjacent street. It was not entirely convenient. Practical and efficient if you want some place to stay and the little bar is a nice touch.

There is still some construction in the area and in front of the entrance, but we used the car to get in and out, so it didn't affect us at all.

This hotel is inside a condo building, and rather than…read morejust having a room you have an entire suite including a full kitchen (stocked with any cookware you'd need) and a separate bedroom. The interior was nicely decorated, modern, bright, and quite spacious. There were many luxurious aspects to this place: Lagostina cookware, Aveda soaps/shampoos/conditioners, Smart TVs in the living room and bathroom, a rain shower head (plus a movable shower head if a rain shower isn't your thing), en-suite laundry, a movie room and gym (of course these were closed due to the pandemic), even a little balcony. The concierge wasn't in at the time of our arrival and check-in was seamless. Soho Champagne communicated with me prior to check-in to ensure all my questions were answered. Plus, this place is conveniently located near Little Italy and Chinatown. I wished that we were able to stay longer. There are 3 reasons that I knocked off a star. Before I get into these, I'll mention that I was given a number to call if I had any problems with the room, but I didn't think any of the problems were worth calling about. First, the remote to open the garage didn't work from inside the car (maybe low/no battery?) and I had to get out of the car each time to get the garage door to open. Second, upon check-in I took a shower and there were 2 long and noticeable hairs stuck to the wall of the shower. Finally, I could not for the life of me get the TV in the bedroom to work. For the price of the room, I'd expect a bit more attention to detail in these areas. All in all, we had an amazing time and would definitely stay at Soho Champagne again.

It's situated in a great location and is within walking distance to Parliament, Major's Hill Park, and Rideau Canal. You can even walk to Elgin Street from there. My boyfriend and I drove to Ottawa from Jersey, driving through Pennsylvania and New York State. After seven hours on the road, we were beat. Luckily, we found a parking spot in the hotel's available underground parking garage and went through check-in at the front desk fairly quickly. When we got to our room, we dropped our bags and rested. The beds were comfy and the room was nicely decorated. The bathroom had a shower and there were Aveda toiletry products on the sink counter (loved them). We didn't get one of the rooms facing the lobby, so our window looked out to the street. Overall, I liked our room. Plus, there is free Wi-Fi. There is a restaurant downstairs. Didn't try the food, but we had a couple of beers there after a long day of sightseeing. The gym in the hotel was good - it has variety of machines and free weights. The hotel also has a pool. Also, there is a little business center where you can use a computer and printer; I pulled up our MapQuest directions there which was very helpful. Next time I come to Ottawa, I'll most likely book here. Highly recommended!

With only 106 rooms and lack of conference facilities, you know you would not be overwhelmed by groups and groups of Conference goers like other bigger hotels in the area.

The Manager however sounded extremely passive aggressive when I asked them something. Now for the room, I did not like this place. When I got in the room, it was super small not worth the money. I got it for a staycation for Valentine's Day and the place was rather expensive... The bed was comfy tho. The bathroom however was so cheap, standing shower (no glass door) with a shower curtain, drain semi-clogged, water would flow onto the flooring and it made the bathroom wet. Had to put a towel on the ground so we didn't make a swimming pool in there. I expected more for what I paid and was pretty disappointed with what I got.

Besides the location, my room could use a bit of maintenance in the bathroom (hard to adjust hot water, toilet making a weird noise while filling up, and power outlets being flimsy). However, the room was clean and relatively quiet. I liked their restaurant / breakfast options and friendly staff. Never had an issue.

It wasn't too cold for the nice walk to the places to check them out. The hotel was nice, has underground parking and if you do park here, make sure you park in the green zone (enter from the Kent St by the Marriott sign). The green zone has elevators that takes you up to the lobby of the hotel. I ended up in the yellow zone, and the elevator took me outside to the next building lol Check-in was simple, the room was spacious and nice. Lot of sun coming into the room, but if you want a view, you'll see a lot of towers :) The only draw back to the room was the bathroom - it was very narrow and small. Staff working the front desk were super nice, friendly and welcoming. They explained how the in/out parking worked, where the elevator to the parking garage was etc. If you go to the buffet, be mindful... I had a complimentary breakfast, the waiter asked if I had the voucher, gave it to him and later be brought me a check and told me to take my time.

I mean, why ask for the voucher when you are going to bring the bill anyways??

But when…read moreI tried to add it to the front of the reservation at the hotel where I was staying the rest of my time in Ottawa, I discovered the rate for my extra night was significantly higher. Looking around within the brand, I found that the Hilton Garden Inn Ottawa Downtown had a rate so much better that even paying for parking, it was less expensive, even a better rate than the Homewood Suites sharing this space. Plus, it had the convenience of being close to the government buildings, Byward Market, and downtown, and only 2 blocks from the light rail. Parking was underground and convenient, but such a tight squeeze. Vehicle clearance is only 5' 9", and the parking spaces don't allow a lot of space for opening doors fully. My room had a great view of the Ottawa River and Gatineau. The room was fairly quiet and dark. Temperature control was good, with temperature settings by the half-degree Celsius. But the air vent blows directly over the bed. Luckily the thermostat had high and low settings for the fan, and with low it was fine. But every time you changed the temperature, the fan was reset to high. I appreciated the fact that I could shop around for best rates at various times during my stay in Ottawa. I was less appreciative of the fact that the rates changed so much during the course of any week and weekend.

The buffet during our stay offered cereal, yogurt, pastries /breads, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausages, beans and roasted potatoes which were amazingly delicious!
