Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel

It was a wonderful experience. One must stay for wonderful experiences.

It’s definitely a really cool hostel to stay at! I loved walking through the property, it felt like a museum with info on the history of the building. Staff was very pleasant to talk to and very respectful. Rooms and bathrooms were clean and maintained daily. There’s not much for facilities within other than one larger communal space, but it leaves more for time to adventure Ottawa! Only downside staying there is around the property isn’t the best neighbourhood for safety especially being solo

Fantastic fantastic idea and concept. But several improvements can make it even better! What it misses - some cozy public zone with strong vibe for spending time and communicating. Also some prison rituals or artifacts (prison soap, other details would be fun to have). Cleanliness is an issue. Breakfast too. Very noisy on the 4 th floor at night/realty morning . (Outside noise plus ventilation) Private double rooms need to be more comfortable. (Toiletry, hairdryer, shower facilities)
