“ A very homey feel, with incredibly friendly staff. Just a shame that one of the guests was a Neo-Nazi, which spoilt the atmosphere a tad! ”

“ I only stayed here one night but could definitely have stayed for longer. The place feels very welcoming with an excellent array of staff. The dorms are quite big but it was popular and therefore a lot of people around. The location is great for seeing Ottawa, which is a nice small capital city... more ”

“ One of the best hostels we have ever stayed at. The guys helped us a lot (thanks again for the plug-converter!).
