I had heard about this hotel over the years and was looking forward to staying at it. Overall, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the location is great, and they gave me a big room with a great view. I really liked all the little boutique touches from the large shower head to the drop down blackout blinds. The... More

Pros: The hotel is gorgeous. Rooms are beautiful (small but who cares). Bathrooms were nice. Bed was comfy. Cons: Thin walls. I had the WORST sleep of my life here. We had a room with a connecting door. We could hear everything that was going on in the room next door. And by everything, I mean their music, conversation, and... More

Great location just two blocks from Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and a short walk from the Byward Market. Clean and comfortable and we were welcomed by friendly staff and a glass of sparkling wine. Love that it's a small hotel, not a commercial chain but equally as equipped with all the amenities one needs and the housekeeping, valet and... More

Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, walking distance from the Parliament, restaurants and services. A courteous and professional welcome at the reception. The elevator was very slow. The room, a bit small was clean as well as the bathroom. The bed is very good and the room very quiet in this side of the building. Very satisfied overall... More

The Arc is located on a busy four lane street in the heart of Ottawa's business district. It is surrounded by highrises (well, 20-floor buildings) that radiate the charm of the 1970s. It's a short walk to Parliament and the market area and has plenty of coffee shops nearby. The area is a bit deserted at night. The hotel itself... More

ARC, The Hotel is located on Slater Street in downtown Ottawa. A very good location for any leisure or business call to Ottawa (which is of course a beautiful city). Some sites give ARC a four-star rating, and it has 4-star potential, but it's not there yet. First, any hotel that charges WiFi service ($9.95 US for 24 hours), is... More

My father stayed here while visiting me. The room was clean and quiet, despite being downtown. The bathroom was clean and the decor was fresh. Service was fast and friendly. My family would stay here again.

I travel to Ottawa frequently, and use the priceline "name your own price" tool to book every time I'm there (2-3 times/month). When choosing a 4-star in downtown Ottawa, 8/10 times it will give you the Marriott on Kent St., the other two (in my experience at least), it gives you Arc The Hotel. Also, while reading this review, keep... More
