Places to stay in Downtown, Ottawa

Loved my stay! Clean and peaceful. Had a great solo vacation, exploring the area and the food and the spa. Highly recommend Le Petit Bar a Vin (great food and wine and live music on Tuesdays!) and Olivia’s for their chicken bowl. Will definitely be back 😊

We are a not for profit intermediate resource in Chelsea that operates an assisted living facility for 6 adults with intellectual challenges. A few weeks ago we had a fire at our home and were forced to move out while things were being sorted out. Trevor was able to provide accommodation for our residents and staff on very short notice. The fire and temporary moves have been difficult and stressful for everyone, and it was nice to be able to settle in to a comfortable spot for a few days. Trevor and his partner were very welcoming hosts. We are fortunate to have such good neighbours in our community. The house was perfect and all enjoyed! Thank you.

Carole is an amazing host and her home was perfect for our trip. We travel on a regular basis and this was the cleanest home we have ever stayed at. Absolutely spotless! Carole goes above and beyond for her guests including the family fur babies! If you are planning a trip to the area do not hesitate to book with Carole, you will be glad you did!

The hosts welcomed us warmly upon arrival. The place is perfect, quiet and in a good location. The accommodation is clean, tastefully decorated and very well-equipped to make a stay enjoyable. I would go back without hesitation. Thank you Kim and Stéphane for offering your studio to guests looking for tranquility.

We stayed at this beautiful townhouse for 2 weeks and we couldn’t be happier. It was exactly what was shown in the pictures and even better. Very comfortable, equipped and relaxing place. And most of all had a very helpful, friendly and responsive host. I advise anyone going to Ottawa to stay here and don’t check any other place .

This was my third time staying at Elcho's lovely place. I keep coming back to her warm, clean, charming and well equipped apartment. I had a chance to meet her lovely partner, Don, which made this stay even more special. I highly recommend Elcho's place for those looking to discover Ottawa. Well located, it is walking distance to Transit way, Byward market and the beautiful Strathcona park along the riverside.

Great place. Felt like home！

Awesome! We had an extended stay, and our hosts were wonderfully accommodating. They are very friendly people and were easily accessible and responsive to our needs to ensure a comfortable stay. Their apartment was spacious, clean and bright, and their equipped kitchen, laundry and comfortable beds made for living easy. They are situated in a great location with easy access to shops, LRT transit and the 417. A great choice! We highly recommend!

By way of background, not only have we lived in the area in the past, but we have stayed in numerous Kanata/Stittsville Airbnbs. Overall we have been pretty uniformly disappointed. So fed up with getting six plates, cups and glasses, and one or two pots/pans stocked for a three bedroom home furished with the most basic of furniture possible. This house however, was exceptional. Not only was the house very comfortable but the host was generous in stocking well beyond basics. This is especially true for the kitchen which was as well equipped as my own- and I like to cook. It felt more like a sister letting you use her very spacious and clean house for a week than a rental. I cannot recommend this home enough. If you want a quiet, supremely comfortable and convenient family stay, I sincerely believe you cannot do better than this house/host in the Ottawa west, Kanata, Stittsville area.
