We stayed at the Lord Elgin for Winterlude in Feb 2013. This is a nice hotel in a great location. Rooms were nice, clean and the restaurant/bar in the lobby was very pleasant as well. There is also a Starbucks for early morning coffee runs. Close to everything you want to see in downtown Ottawa. NIce pool area and work... More

We visited the Lord Elgin during our trip through Canada and the U.S.A. Since we arrived by car it was very nice to see the valet parking at the hotel. The hotel was great, the room was spacious and very clean, and also the bathroom was very nice.We even received a newspaper in the morning at our hotelroom. The hotel... More

This was fancier than my husband and I usually stay at but totally worth it and really not much more money. The valet parking for $28 was also a first but they were so friendly and really enjoyed the service, especially after a long day of driving, then downtown traffic. Our room was only standard but excellent, expect for the... More

We have stayed here before and were happy with both our experiences. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful. We didn't have to wait long to check in and were able to go to our room very early. The location is amazing. A short walk to Sparks St for shopping and restaurants, as well as an easy walk (in the...

The service provided by staff, from the time we walked in until they brought our car around for departure, was professional, efficient and friendly. We were there for the Tulip Festival, and this was an excellent location in downtown, right by the Canal and Parliament Buildings. The weather was excellent, which meant that we could walk to the museums, along... More

I have been staying at the historic Lord Elgin since 1967! That says it all! Fantastic location. Comfortable. Clean, Great staff. Super value for money. Starbucks off the lobby (can't be bad!) and good restaurant also. If you are bothered by traffic noise, ask for a room at the back of the hotel - although the park-view rooms are nicer... More

We loved staying at this hotel and were so impressed by the Staff and their flexibility. I had originally booked for just myself to come up to Ottawa for the day from Montreal (there on business for the week). I found the "Lord of the Tulips" Package on this page on Tripadvisor which included breakfast for two ($17 x2 value)... More

Positives: 1. This hotel is spotlessly clean. 2. Centrally located. Negatives: 1. Rooms are old and in need of modernisation...to the 1990s! Hallways look like an old mansion block, dimly lit with old wallpaper. 2. Air conditioning was down and the rooms were stifling, and the front desk was tongue tied when I went down to complain. SUGGESTION: When the... More

Immediately we walked in the door of the Lord Elgin I knew this was going to be a great hotel. We had arrived late afternoon after airport delays in New York due to the furloughs dispute and it was lovely to be greeted with a smile from the staff on reception. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the... More
