Laundry machines are old and couldn't dry them right. Had to dry them twice and one of them ate my money. Other than that 5/5! Everywhere else

This is a hostel and for a hostel, it was GREAT! Super clean, super friendly, relatively comfortable spaces (okay, the beds are definitely hostel grade), with the ability to make your own meals if you want, and connect with lots of people in common spaces if you want. The staff were incredibly friendly - very forgiving when I couldn't open the (very simple) door and very helpful for showing me all the things around the location. The location is quite central too. As a head's up, it was fine for me to arrive at 9.40pm and feel relatively safe but there is a significant homeless population in the area, so as a single female traveller, I would suggest aiming for a daylight arrival time.

The staff were very accommodating & helpful to any questions you may have. The livingroom area, kitchen, toilet , bathroom & bedroom I am in were kept very clean. The location is very close to everything: Rideau Shopping Center & Byward Market. A very convenient place to stay in for your next staycation.

Staff were nice, property was ok, good location. The late night noise meant I was tired for sure: it would be an improvement if there was a quiet time from 11pm to 6am. Noise from other guests at 3am meant my stay was not overly great. Milk or creamer for the complimentary coffee may have fostered a sense of community as people sat with a cup of coffee

Ottawa Backpackers Inn is located a few blocks away from the Byward Market. As such it is a lovely place to explore, especially the nightlife. Nearby on King Edward Boulevard, are several live stage theatres as well as a modern art museum. The area is also part of the Ottawa downtown where non-housed citizens congregate and are supported by local faith based missions. Conveniently served by the Ottawa public transport system is an advantage since car parking in that neighbourhood is rare (and expensive). The Backpacker Inn has a few spots in their yard for cars at the rate of $12.54 per night. Within walking distance are some of the cities prominent attractions: Parliament Hill; US Embassy; NAtional Arts Centre; Rideau Canal and its walking pathways. In short, a convenient, low budget place to stay offering both single rooms and dorm style sleeping arrangements, along with shared bathroom and kitchen amenities.

The private room smelled of the person before me and the mattress and pillows were old but the bathroom and kitchen was clean in the second structure. One of the staff was friendly in providing a towel and new pillow and the other was busy commanding me to sit upon arrival without providing needed amenities.

Parking is horrible with no actual parking spots just a bunch of cars crammed in the backyard and at the side of the house. The showers were gross. They told us to take our shoes off when we got in but the floors were so sticky we didn’t feel comfortable in our socks. I know it’s a relatively cheap hostel but I wouldn’t go here unless you really can’t afford other options or you have very low standards.

Staff were great, but the property is a little run down. The doors dont unlock easily, so you are kind of stuck outside the room dwindling with the lock. Overall, check-in and check-out was easy. Beds are also very small, I am a small girl and they were small for me.
