The room was small (no drawers) and facing a wall but reasonably clean. The remote for the tv didn’t work. There was a fire alarm in the condo that shares the building that resulted in an evacuation of the hotel at 3 am. This may be beyond the control of the hotel but no apology was extended or any mention of the inconvenience in check out. Check out was slow and a receipt couldn’t be provided because despite having had no issue at check in they couldn’t find my reservation in their new system (they were unfamiliar) even with a reservation number, name and room number. I had to leave for a meeting and had to follow up twice to get a receipt. The aloofness of the staff made the experience a negative one.

Dear Cruiser822730, Thank you for taking the time to review us. I am sorry to hear about your experience during your last stay, I would like to assure you that this is not a typical stay at Alt.We were in the middle of a major system switch and to add to that there was a fire alarm in the building. This stretched our resources to a point where we could not provide the same level of service we typically do. Once again please accept my apologies and if there is anything we can do , please do not hesitate to contact me. Best Regards Dino Gurusamy

Nice modern room, on the small side. Quiet. TV claims to let you cast your media but I couldn't get it to work and there are limited (and inaccurate) instructions. Friendly desk staff. Glass shower leaks a bit, as most do. One really annoying thing is the shower: a great soap/shampoo dispenser, but nowhere to put your personal stuff, including wash cloths. Easy fix would be a suction cup shelf in the shower.

Modern, comfortable, trendy location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was cozy but comfortable and modern. The location puts itself, not far away from most things, in walking distance. The onsite, cafe is convenient for coffee, drinks, and some food items.

Nice hotel. Modern minimalist style. No proper restaurant. Poor cafe with very limited breakfast options and expensive. Better going Tim Hortons on corner. What disappointed me was the grubby bathroom. Filthy in corners and around edges of floor. Shower needs deep clean think cleaner only cleans middle of floor. Despite trying-to be environmental friendly and hanging up towels they were replaced each day.

Very convenient hotel, within walking distance to many things and 10 minute walk to Byward Market. Cafe/bar in the lobby has multiple tables with quick snacks, drinks and premade food to buy. The room was nice but could have had more lighting. The only real complaint was the bathroom which also could have had more lighting but the bathroom door was not a real door. More like a saloon type door. Other Alt hotels seem to have this style of door as well and we would love it if this was changed.

We stayed here to have a weekend in Ottawa - enjoying the sights and bites. A short walk to Parliament, this hotel is in a great location. A large lobby with a large bar, our room was neat, tidy, comfortable and clean. A cool and trendy place to stay at a reasonable price - walking distance to everything.

"Sorry but if you want coffee for the maker that's in your room you have to come to the front desk."
For real. This is what I was told by the front desk when I called to ask where the pods are. A. ridiculous B. would have been helpful to know before 6 a.m. in the morning while getting ready for business meeting

Dear Tova W, Thank you for taking the time to review us and my apologies for the inconvenience during your stay. A selection of coffee pods are available next to the coffee machine and our housekeeping team replenishes them during the daily service. If you run out of coffee pods before the housekeeping service which I can understand as an avid coffee drinker , we always have pods available at the front desk. Once again please accept my apologies and feel free to reach out to me if you have any further comments or concerns. Best Regards

Loved the decor in the room, which included an oversized origami-style $20 bill that kept catching my attention. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Very comfortable bed, and I liked the ability to stream Netflix to the TV from my phone. The only thing that would have been better was if the ALT had a restaurant/room service.

This hotel has a very trendy and cool vibe. alt Hotel Ottawa is a six year old facility, part of the French-Canadian Le Germain chain of hotels. The guest room, lobby and bar/cafe area have a trendy, European vibe. Guest rooms feature at least one rough finish wall and original artwork, Nespresso coffeemaker and importantly, DAILY housekeeping. Hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is five minutes walk to the Parliament building district, Sparks Street pedestrian mall and to a regional light rail metro station. Only cons—oven in the cafe was out one morning. Other than a coat closet, no storage drawers whatsoever although the saison accommodates generous luggage storage to facilitate “living out of your suitcase.” A property recommended for central Ottawa stays.…

My wife and I wanted a mini getaway over the Canada Day long weekend. We had checked out a couple of things but we decided to attend the big party in Ottawa. Found this hotel on Trip Advisor. Price was very reasonable for a downtown hotel, so we booked it kot knowing what to expect. We arrived and the front desk already had everything set up so check in was easy. Parking is across the street and it was $42 for 3 nights, which again is very reasonable. We had a room on the fourteen floor. Please note no room over looks the front street Slater, as the hotel also has condos and that takes up the front of the hotel. All rooms from my understanding are Queen rooms. Everything was clean and in good working order. Staff is super friendly and yiu should check out the bar/Cafe in the evening as it has a great vibe. Location to everythingnus great. Overall great hotel and this will be our number one hotel when we stay in Ottawa.…
