I stayed here for 1 night and was very pleased with my stay. It was incredibly clean and cozy, plus you have a full kitchen downstairs and all the bedrooms are upstairs. The lady was very welcoming and sweet. I recommend booking from their own website.

This is one of my favorite hostels! It is right in downtown Ottawa, women only and very affordable. I stayed twice on different occasions and found the owner to be super friendly and welcoming. The place itself feels more like a holiday home.

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. It is small, cosy (the max. Number of people is 16) and a great home feel. The hostel is cleaned everyday with towels and linen replaced very often - it feels more like a giant BnB then a hostel. The lady who owns it is very nice and helpful :) even the free instant coffee tastes good! I highly recommend it :)
