Why choose a hostel in Ottawa?
It’s flexible
In some of the larger hostels in Ottawa, you can book one night on very short notice, or decide to extend via the hostel’s reception desk if you’ve fallen in love with Ottawa. It’s not uncommon for some backpackers to live in hostels for months.
You’ll make friends
Solo travelers opt for cheap hostels in Ottawa so they can make friends to party or explore with. Spend an hour or two in a dorm room, hostel bar, or common area. You’ll get the kinds of tips and advice you’d never find in a private apartment or hotel. There could also even be pub crawls, communal dinners, and special organized events!
You’ll immerse yourself in Ottawa
You’ll never find out where to get the cheapest beer in town if you sit alone in your hotel room. Hostels give you the chance to exchange tips and advice about Ottawa with other travelers. Some hostels in Ottawa even offer free guidebooks and walking tours, and the staff are more open with local tips, too.
You can kick back
Hostels are relaxed places, and often feel much more comfortable than hotels. You can kick back on the sofa all day with new friends and cook and eat your own meals communally. A true home away from home!
