Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff were excellent. Location was perfect for touring the city. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Feather pillows constantly poked us. They need an upgrade. We did not like our windows opening to an inner atrium and having no outer windows. We were in a jr suite and air conditioning never got as cool as I would like in the bedroom. I also did not like the request to tip the staff in the elevator and with the room card. I perceive that the hotel is not paying their staff enough, and after paying a hefty rate for a room, they think I should also subsidize the employees wages by way of a tip, instead of the Metcalfe paying good wages to their excellent staff from the income they make on the room rates I paid.

The hotel overall fulfilled all my expectations. Check in was fast and effient. The room was spotlesly clean and house keeping was efficient and not intrusive. The doorman noted me stumbling, came out and escorted me to my room. I did not sample the food enough to comment on it

Had a great staycation at The Metcalfe

The team was incredibly kind and left special surprises for my friend for her birthday which was very appreciated. We had an issue with plumbing in our first room which was efficiently dealt with and we were moved rooms without a fuss. Beautiful setting, convenient to walk around downtown. Breakfast at cocotte was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

Place is great and perfect for meetings in Ottawa with La cocotte restaurant being one of the highlight as well. I would stay away from rooms at lower level facing the internal courtyard- too noisy at night. I requested a room change at 22:00 upon check-in which was done very kindly and swiftly. Overall a good option in Ottawa.
