Michael StrasserIt is a great place to stay! the atmosphere and the caracter of staying in an ancient prison is really great. you should do the evening jail tour if you have time - it is nice to know what happened at this palce just some 40y ago. the stuff is friendly and helpfull the hostel is located right in the center of ottawa just some minutes away of parliament hill. there are also many pubs and restaurants in walking distance (5-10min) around the hostel. i really enjoyed my stay there |

Emily CaseThis was a really fun place to stay, with lots of character and it's theme was carried out through the entire building. But please note that you can hear everything that's going on because the private "cell" doors are not entirely closed on the top and bottom, so if you're a light sleeper, like me, don't forget your earplugs! |

Fergus PoyntonReally comfortable, surprising since it was a jail. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the breakfast in the morning has lots of fruit, yogurt, cereal and toast with OJ and coffee. Really good and great location! |

Customer reviewThe location is very central -- across the street is the Rideau Centre (mall). Parliament Hill is only 10-15 minute walk away. Also, staying in a jail is a very unique experience. |

David KoppelNothing special. Also, expensive for what you're getting but it's the only hostel in Ottawa, so what are you going to do? |

Customer reviewGood novelty hostel. I lasted about 2 nights before I moved on to my next location ! Not really much to do in Ottawa, for me anyhow but good experience staying in the Hostel. Good location though. I didn't think this place was good for socialising especially as my dorm was made up of people studying in Ottawa and not travellers ! |

Sarah DukeStaff were friendly and rooms were clean, but there is an open space above the door that makes rooms very noisy. |

Customer reviewGreat place with loads of character. Staff was amazing. Location is awesome as well with everything within walking distance. Good breakfast. Huge tour groups seem to stay here though so be prepared to potentially have to deal with that. |

Michael WalcottIt was a fun place to stay, consider the setting in an old jail house. Located very close to one of the main streets and the By-Ward market, there were lots of fun things with in reach. Stayed at a couple hostels, and by far the staff at Hi Ottawa Jail were the friendliness. Super time. |
