Ottawa Backpackers Inn

Lovely place with amazing staff. Thank you so much N- and S-. I had such a lovely trip. So helpful. Facilities were great and economical: backyard patio, parking (extra cost but reasonable), and bicycle cage. Everything was clean and lovely. Kitchen was clean. Bed was a bit too soft, however. Vibe of the people is one of exploration and adventure. I got to bike the Ottawa bike trail to Hogs Dam and see many other major sites because of the house's great location. Very awesome for a traveller with an adventurous mindset. A+.

My first time in a hostel and couldn't have asked for a more better first-time experience. Clean rooms with even cleaner sanitary toilets. There was parking available for a price right behind so our cars were also safely parked. We couldn't make it to the movie night but they had information on different events around the city with a map of the city itself. The kitchen had everything we could want with the staff very helpful and friendly! Definitely booking again if we are in the city! To the staff, thank you so much for the experience and see you guys soon. :)

Lovely setup and a comforting and homey interior. The staff were incredibly helpful and I felt facility wise this hostel has everything you can expect for the price. The rooms were cosy and had AC but my only critique would be there was no storage for me on a top bunk (I ended up sleeping with water bottle, book etc in my bed) nor any cupboards for me on the ground

The owners are amazing people, beds are what you pay for. It's a hostel and so you share rooms or pay for your privacy. The kitchen is fully equipped. During the summer there's plenty to do outside or bbq in the backyard. So many good memories in this place. I'm grateful for the time I shared with everyone I've ever met here. Best stay ever.

The staff are very helpful and friendly. A warm caring atmosphere. Although it was tough being the only female in a room with all men. And one man who thought it was necessary to strip nude in front of me when there was a bathroom in the room. It was slightly uncomfortable say the least. But that's just people and not the inn its self. Maybe the staff could remind people to undress in private.

Great hostel, with clean rooms and common areas, well located (close to the Byward market), with everything you need (laundry, kitchen, free tea and coffee :) ) and super nice staff ! I was supposed to stay for a couple of weeks and I ended up staying for three months ; it's been a home away from home, and I cannot recommend it highly enough :)

Very understanding staff - I thought that my phone had been stolen (I was incorrect, it had fallen into a drawer under my passenger seat that I didn't know about), and the staff were extremely understanding and thankfully noticed that I was clearly distressed. There is a young Asian man working there who I couldn't be more thankful to, I was able to get a physical copy of the ticket (for bluesfest) from my email but this guy was straight up willing to lend me his secondary phone for the night to use Google Wallet on his phone, he is class-act all around.

Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean, and plenty of space to move around in the kitchen and lounge areas. I never needed to wait for a bathroom.
