Great location, with a very helpful staff. An unusual, spooky fun place to stay. Price for the tour of the jail is discounted for those staying there. It was very interesting.

We loved to location, the safety, and the atmosphere. We also used the lounge in the evenings - the set up down there is wonderful - lots of fun.

We really liked the quirky nature of staying in a converted jail. A bit noisy on the dorm corridors with the echo.

staff were excellent - very helpful and approachable. Hostel had great characterm with being an old jail. Dorms were spacious, and were cleaned everyday. Hot showers 24hr. Actitvies on most evenings & Ottawa is a great area, really pretty with some great parks to read a good book.
