The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the Parliament. There is a park across the street from the hotel and there are many restaurants and bars near the hotel. However, there is only valet parking service. I prefer to have the option of valet or parking it myself. When I needed to get something from my... more

I'm a lover of 30s architecture so it was great to see that this hotel had retained many period features and reflected this style in its modern furnishings. We had a large comfortable room with two Queen beds, overlooking Confederation Park. We were there at the start of a holiday weekend with an event taking place on the park opposite... more

I stayed at the Lord Elgin for 3 nights in May. My room was small but I had a perfect view of the parliment buildings. Lord Elgin is conviently located close to lots of tourist spots. Staff was excellent and I really enjoyed my short stay in Ottawa. more

I stayed at the Lord Elgin recently for a work conference - Fantastic is all I can say about this hotel! From the banquet space to the guestrooms they definitely pay attention to the little details. I would highly recommend this hotel for leisure or business travel. In addition to its prime location, this hotel provided us with everything we... more

Booked a room through the 1-866 number. Family of 4. Package of room, with breakfast and valet parking. Sales person assured me that breakfast for all of us is included and that I will be getting the king size bed plus a couch in the room but I had to book immediately as that type of room is limited. So... more

We were totally dismayed to hear of your recent stay and of the confusion both at check in and when assigned the proper room type for your family - both unacceptable when you had booked well in advance. As you can see by the other reviews, this is not typical of the service offered at the Lord Elgin. We are...

Staff at the Lord Elgin went above and beyond right from when I walked in the door. A cheerful smile accompanied by helpful tips on where in the city are some of the nicest attractions with the wonderful news that my room was ready for me even though I was early due to my flight. A great and welcome releif.... more

It was our first time visiting Ottawa and we were very pleased with the service from the staff at the Lord Elgin Hotel. The staff was professional, kind and respectful. The location is great because some of the main attractions are nearby. Christopher from the front desk provided me with a map and gave me useful information concerning the Changing... more

We stayed at this hotel for three nights based on Trip Advisor and we were more than pleased. The hotel is in a great location - walking distance to all the major sites. The staff was wonderful. We asked when we reserved for a room with a view and they gave us a quite large corner room with three large... more

Researched all hotels in Ottawa downtown area. Determined this hotel has the best value. A 4 star rating and reasonable rate ($110). The hotel lives up to its rating. Our family of 4 (kids age 6 and 2) stayed for 6 nights. The location is great as you can walk to most attractions. Room was clean and quiet. Staff was... more

We stayed at the Lord Elgin for one night a few weeks ago during our cross Canada trip and were very happy with our stay there. If you're driving there it's very easy to find (with Google map directions !) and the rooms are comfortable and fairly standard for a hotel of this size. The front desk staff were friendly... more
