I enjoyed my stay very much, even though it was just for one night, everyone was helpful and friendly and I came down a little late, but the breakfast was alright, whatever little I had ,was pretty good and I would definitely stay there again if and when I come back to Ottawa again, I was just doing a layover, that's why I had stay there, thanks for everything, sincerely Rick Jones.

Very cool hostel! Close to everything, with a fascinating history and well worth it. It's close to the metro station and several buses pass by. I recommend taking the guided tour of the prison.

Special prison experience. Lots of young service. Rich breakfast free. Meeting place, various city tours..
Everything was good.
It is a recommended item for a small cost when you have time and a free mind..

There is a rat in the restaurant, help! ! ! 😅
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after eating breakfast, I had diarrhea two or three times at noon.
The receptionist felt a bit cold and not very hospitable.
But the tour guide for the free tour is very nice.
