Surprisingly Great Stay! Unique and Comfortable
I really enjoyed my stay at the Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel. The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The atmosphere is unique and definitely something you don’t experience at a regular hotel — in a good way!
The staff were friendly, the place felt safe, and the location was convenient for getting around Ottawa. Overall, it was a great stay and I would happily come back again.
Highly recommend

I decided to stay in a 4 room mixed hostel for 3 nights. Upon arrival I was greeted by staff. Check in was very easy. The staff were very helpful as this is my 2nd time staying in a hostel. They explained how the hostel works and what was expected and how to access the different parts of the rooms and were I would be staying. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
I was provided with a keycard which provided me access to the hostel. The hostel appears to be very secure due to the keycard system as you need to use it to access different sections of the hostel (main check in room, common room, hostel floor levels, hostel rooms, etc). I was very happy about this as it provides some level of safety for those staying there.
The room I stayed in was clean. Beds were nice and clean. Beds also had a night light to use for reading and multiple electrical outlets. Lockers were provided in the room and were nice and big to store your personal belongings such as clothes and backpacks, etc. Room was warm and easy to breathe in.
Free Wifi was good and signal strength worked through out the entire hostel so I could access simple internet and messages if needed.
Showers were clean as was the bathrooms on the floor I was provided. Free clean towels are available upon request. Shower room had shampoo and bodywash available which was nice to see.
2 Nice common rooms to sit down and watch tv or just sit and enjoy the atmosphere.
There is a nice big common kitchen room with 2 stoves, 2 big sinks and 2 huge refrigerators. The hostel has lots of plates, utensil, appliances and various household items you would find in your kitchen at home. The hostel kitchen was well stocked. Kitchen was clean and organized and could accommodate lots of people. Nice fridge to store your items that need refrigeration.
The area in which the hostel was located was very nice as everything was within walking distance of less then 5 minutes to 10 minutes. This includes many restaurants, convenience stores, coffee stores, grocery stores, banks and much more. The stores all seemed to operate late hours and some were 24 hours.
Free breakfast was provided which was nice. Simple but nothing extravagant. Various types of bagels, cream cheese, various cereals, fruits, fresh coffee, tea and other items you would expect.
The only downside was the furnace/heater mounted in the corner of the room was loud at night and seemed like it was on its last legs as it sounded like car engine. Staff were friendly and said they could provide me another room in the morning if it was a problem and said they would let management to look into heater for repair.
The only thing I could say I would recommend to the hostel is for any type of improvement to have some safety grab bars installed in the stand in shower room stall as the floor does become slippery.
Other then that the hostel was nice, safe and staff were friendly/helpful, clean and everyone staying there was friendly or quite as well.
The price was affordable and I would honestly recommend this place if you needed a place to stay without breaking the bank.
Would honestly give 4.5/5 for based on my stay.
Generally speaking, the location of the Youth Hostel is very good. Ottawa is not very concentrated, the highlight is to catch up with the Queen's funeral service.
There are too many Ottawa homeless, and the Youth Hostel is lined up.
The Youth Hostel is very clean, and the younger brother is hygienic. I am also the first time I am mixed with men and women. It is good to sit in a hard sleep. Every day, bed in the morning, wake up late and late, basically no embarrassment.
Impressed was the rainy day after visiting the National Gallery and sitting in the cafe drinking coffee. The years were quiet, and the domestic chickens and dogs jumped, thinking when they would return to normal, couldn't help but cry.
A short walk from Hamilton GO, apx 10 mins. Nice old antique house, fair sized room unlike some guest houses that have tiny little rooms, they don't try to cram as many people in as possible to make a ton of money. Friendly staff. Common space lounge and kitchen, shared bathrooms. Felt comfortable there and kept clean. Definitely not a flop house. Will go there again next time I stay in Hamilton. We had the front room so some noise from late night guests checking in but acceptable.
Very clean, very warm, very close to the city center, walked for five minutes, because the hotel is small, there are not many people living, very quiet, and the kitchen is very convenient
If you are looking for a fancy hotel with a lot of amenities this is not it. But if you want a comfortable, clean, nice room in a quirky neighborhood with friendly and helpful staff, at a good price, then I recommend Ode. the owner and her staff were very helpful and made sure I had whatever I needed. The room was very nice and had character, spacious, with a nice bathroom.

Very Good
Lovely hostel in a good location with good free breakfast, a common room and comfortable beds with good curtains for privacy. Would definitely stay again!
This is a really cute hotel in a more residential neighborhood. The building itself is very well designed and decorated. It holds historic value and can be rented for parties and weddings. There is no restaurant on site except for the bar and room service. If you walk about 20 minutes you will be able to find food. We had the room service breakfast which was honestly mediocre and not worth the price, but at the same time it was nice to eat breakfast in bed. They upgraded our room which was also a pleasant surprise and were able to give us a late check out and hod our bags until 5 pm.
My niece and I stayed here for a night on our way to Stratford. The staff were lovely - everyone was so kind and helpful. We stayed in the Georgina Fergusson room, which was small, but enough space for the two of us. The bathroom was a good size- much larger than I expected, with a jetted tub. The breakfast was delicious.
The staff was great and friendly, and the rooms were nice and clean. The complimentary breakfast was nicely laid out with attentive staff, and the waffle maker was a fun touch. We didn't get a chance to check out the pool but hopefully next time!
Central Prince Edward County location. Comfortable and relaxing stay. Great food and even better entertainment! Friendly staff work hard to make sure everyone is happy. With an on-site spa, there's everything you need! Also a local favourite, gives a real feel for the county. Had a blast!
