Well-Equipped Gym

I loved the gym at Arc The Hotel! It had a great selection of equipment, and there were plenty of towels and bottled mineral water available. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of a bowl of Granny Smith apples to enjoy after my workout. It made my fitness routine much more enjoyable!

Delicious Meals

The meals at the hotel restaurant were good! I had the duck confit grilled cheese, and it was simply amazing. Everything was steaming hot and well-prepared. I also enjoyed in-room breakfast, which arrived promptly and was just as delicious as dining in. Truly a culinary highlight of my stay!

Comfy and Convenient

My room at Arc The Hotel was quite comfortable. The bed was heavenly, and I appreciated the luxurious sheets. The thoughtful amenities, like the bathrobe and K-cups for the coffee maker, added to the convenience and made for a pampered stay. The fridge was also a great bonus for chilling drinks!

Refreshing Bath Experience

I enjoyed the bathroom amenities provided during my stay. The self-pampering bath products really elevated the experience and made my time spent in the bathroom feel like a mini-spa. It was perfect for unwinding after a day of activities!

I spent some time at this boutique hotel and found it to be a clean and cozy option in downtown Ottawa. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from major attractions like Parliament Hill and the ByWard Market. While the service was generally good, the dining experience fell short with some delays and limited breakfast options. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for comfort and convenience without breaking the bank.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite disappointing due to numerous service issues and security concerns. While the location was central and the room had a nice layout, the lack of basic amenities like towels and cleaning left me feeling frustrated. Staff members seemed overwhelmed, and the overall service did not meet expectations. On the positive side, the hotel has potential with its boutique feel and style, but improvements are definitely needed.
