Minutes from Byward Market

This was our first time staying at the Byward Blue Hotel and it certainly did not disappoint. We loved the convenience of being close to Byward Market. We loved that it is nestled away on a quiet street a stones throw from shops and restaurants and a lively area of the city. Our room was cute and cozy and exactly what we expected from seeing the pictures on this site. We stayed on the sixth floor and loved that we had the outdoor space of a private balcony. The weather was gorgeous so we made good use of this outdoor space. The staff were excellent and very helpful. We enjoyed our chats with the guest services attendants both day and night. The morning breakfast was convenient and a nice selection of hot and cold foods and beverages. Parking is very limited for the property. There are nine underground parking spots for the hotel and it must be reserved ahead of time. However, no worries because there is an underground public parking structure just down the street from the hotel and the price is very reasonable for both weekday and weekend stays. We ended up staying for an additional two nights and were not disappointed in the least. Well worth a stay. I know that we will return!

This is a great hotel to stay if you want to be close to Byward Market and other points of interest. Rooms are very clean and the service is great. Full breakfast with eggs, pastries, coffee and tea. I have stayed here multiple times and this hotel has never disappointed. The area around the hotel is noisy and doesn’t look very safe but I have never had any incidents, just like any other downtown area need to be watchful at night
