Right beside the market area of downtown Ottawa is this gem of a hostel with two older converted houses and many options for accommodation. Private rooms and dorms and well equipped kitchens with a world of ethnic restaurants in the neighborhood as well as fresh food farmer stalls and a large grocery store all within a short walk make this one of the best hostel experiences I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this hostel if you’re coming to the nations capital :)

Nice place to stay. I was in Ottawa overnight, and its location is walking distance to shops and restaurants.

Very old house. The attention of staff and owners is not nice. They are not rude but neither friendly, probably because they live in the hostel too. No options for breakfast. And one annoying rule to remove your shoes inside the house. I wouldn't come back.
