This place didn't give me the cleanest feel in the world, by any stretch. It's located extremely close to the stuff downtown though.

Great couches, nice people. Kitchen has basically everything you need. We stayed for Halloween and it was impressive.

We stayed in a double room. A good hostel, clean and well run by some very helpful staff. Nice common areas.

Feel a little bit far from the bus stop if carrying something heavy.Feel quite relax when stay. Good place for backpackers.

Nice location. Enjoyed my stay. Pretty busy, with some longer term residents, which made the kitchen space pretty tight. I'd recommend it.

I only stayed here one night but could definitely have stayed for longer. The place feels very welcoming with an excellent array of staff. The dorms are quite big but it was popular and therefore a lot of people around. The location is great for seeing Ottawa, which is a nice small capital city quite different to Montreal and Toronto. This is a great base to see it from, and to meet fellow travelers. Stay here if you\'re passing through, for sure.

There is a cat that roams around so if you don't like them like me don't stay there. It was really cramped and there was always a queue for the bathroom.
