Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel
75 Nicholas Street, K1N 7B9 Ottawa, Canada – Excellent location – show map
This hostel was so great. I had a private single room and I super enjoyed my experience. I had originally booked this thinking it would be fun to experience for just one night, see what it's about and if it sucks, then I wouldn't be too upset about it given I just needed a place to sleep for a quick visit to Ottawa. But this turned out to be much better than anticipated. The hostel was suuuuuper clean, I found the bed to be very comfortable, I had everything I needed, really! I liked the nice touches about the jail's history here and there, and the room having a little explanation about the prisoner who used to occupy it (who knew you could go to jail for a week for stealing $2.50 from a potato peeler coworker!). Oh and, it's SO close to everything. I used to live in Ottawa and truly if you're coming to visit the city, there's no better location.
