Do you need inexpensive accommodation in downtown Ottawa? For only $27 a night, you can stay right in the heart of the major sights of Canada's capital city. At the Ottawa Hostel, your price includes free coffee and Internet access. Accommodations range from dormitory rooms, private rooms, and (summer only) private apartments. The location is great, right in the touristy area of the ByWard Market and near most attractions; pubs, bars, and restaurants; a 24-hour supermarket; and so much more.
In the summer, Ottawa offers many things to do: Visit one of the 15 museums or the National Art Gallery; tour the Parliament Buildings and view the city from the top of the Peace Tower; walk along the Rideau Canal (in winter, the world’s largest skating rink); get a look at the prime minister’s home (no, Prime Minister Stephen Harper won’t invite you in); and watch a movie at the independent ByTown Cinema. By day, shop in the ByWard Market for fresh fruit; by night, head back for lively nightlife.
