I was there alone on business and found the location excellent for my needs. There was also a mall close by with essentially anything you needed and the valley was close which was great for a scenic run. Starbucks downstairs was also appreciated. I came in a bit early and although I had to wait maybe 15 minutes for my... More

We stayed at the Lord Elgin for 2 nights. I loved it from the moment we walked in. The rooms aren't large, but they make up for it with all the little extra's that make it very comfortable. We had a room facing the park which we loved, when I phoned to make the reservation, they made every effort to... More

The hotel staff are very attentive to your needs. We brought our bikes to explore the city's many miles of trails along the canal and rivers. They offer a bike check and keep them locked up in the lobby and were very quick at retrieving them for us when we were ready to ride. When we returned to the hotel... More

While in Ottawa we now stay in the Lord Elgin Hotel. In past we have stayed in the Chateau Laurier or the Westin but the Lord Elgin is now our preferred place to stay. While not as pretentious as the others it is very clean, the suites are at least as large, the windows open, the kitchenettes are practical and... More

We stayed at the Lord Elgin for Winterlude in Feb 2013. This is a nice hotel in a great location. Rooms were nice, clean and the restaurant/bar in the lobby was very pleasant as well. There is also a Starbucks for early morning coffee runs. Close to everything you want to see in downtown Ottawa. NIce pool area and work... More

We visited the Lord Elgin during our trip through Canada and the U.S.A. Since we arrived by car it was very nice to see the valet parking at the hotel. The hotel was great, the room was spacious and very clean, and also the bathroom was very nice.We even received a newspaper in the morning at our hotelroom. The hotel... More

This was fancier than my husband and I usually stay at but totally worth it and really not much more money. The valet parking for $28 was also a first but they were so friendly and really enjoyed the service, especially after a long day of driving, then downtown traffic. Our room was only standard but excellent, expect for the... More

We have stayed here before and were happy with both our experiences. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and helpful. We didn't have to wait long to check in and were able to go to our room very early. The location is amazing. A short walk to Sparks St for shopping and restaurants, as well as an easy walk (in the...

The service provided by staff, from the time we walked in until they brought our car around for departure, was professional, efficient and friendly. We were there for the Tulip Festival, and this was an excellent location in downtown, right by the Canal and Parliament Buildings. The weather was excellent, which meant that we could walk to the museums, along... More

I have been staying at the historic Lord Elgin since 1967! That says it all! Fantastic location. Comfortable. Clean, Great staff. Super value for money. Starbucks off the lobby (can't be bad!) and good restaurant also. If you are bothered by traffic noise, ask for a room at the back of the hotel - although the park-view rooms are nicer... More
