My fiancé and I had an amazing stay at the Swiss Hotel. The superior room with the fireplace was beautiful and so cozy. The place was immaculately clean. The complimentary coffee in the morning was a great plus. The owner of the hotel was absolutely wonderful and I really enjoyed our chats! We will be returning! ☺️

The Hotel parking does not offer in/out. I was travelling on business and needed my car. I was told I could park on the street after 8:00pm, but had to remove by 6:00am or could park at Rogers Center/Show Center. I parked overnight there $20.00 for 12 hours and a 10 minute walk to get there. what a pain. Note: there is no elevator, pretty bad for someone like me with health issues, tramping up 3 flights of stairs with my luggage.

Had a very positive experience from check in to interaction with staff and the lovely owner herself. The Swiss Hotel is full of character and charm. My room had everything I needed. It and the bathroom & shower etc. were quite small however, so be sure to ask about various room options if you prefer more space. Less than 10 minute walk to Rideau Centre was so convenient. I would recommend a stay!

A nice surprise every time
I’m grateful for the existence of this gem of a hotel: it’s the best combination of sensible pricing and most every luxe amenity you’d want (fast internet! Nespresso machine! Bathrobes! Iron and ironing board! Great mattress, linens and duvet) that I know of, just a short walk from the NAC, the Rideau Centre, etc.

This is a gorgeous hotel in a perfect location, and would be ideal if you just need a comfortable bed to stay in while you spend all day out and about. You'll have access to beautiful walks, nice coffee shops and restaurants. The owner is extremely friendly and pleasant. As far as cons, the rooms are very small and the use of space isn't great. I found myself knocking things over a lot, and I'm fairly petite so I feel like if I was taller or broader, I wouldn't have been able to comfortably use the facilities. I do feel the small rooms could be work-able if they were re-arranged. There was a really nice desk right by a very sunny window, but I found I wasn't able to take advantage of it as the Wi-Fi was unstable. Again, could be a wonderful place to stay depending on what you're looking for.

When we first arrived at the hotel I did not like the room, it was much smaller then expected, not much more room then the bed and a small area to walk around. The bathroom was also extremely small especially for my 6’2 boyfriend. BUT the staff made the stay altogether. The front desk lady was so so so sweet. She was so pleasant and helpful. Had an umbrella I could borrow, a cork screw for my wine. I had a terrible experience with an Uber driver there who wouldn’t return my phone I had left in the car and she let me call my mother from her own personal phone to let her know. She was so sweet and understanding when I was crying and very upset about the situation. Next time I would like to get a bigger room but overall the hotel was so clean, so cute. The area around the hotel was very questionable unfortunately (lots of homeless, drugs, sketchy people) but felt safe in the hotel as there was 2 doors to get through that could only be done with a room key.
