We had a wonderful stay at the Swiss Hotel. Clean and well-appointed rooms, excellent/central location (within walking distance of the ByWard Market, restaurants, museums, etc.), and the owner was exceptionally helpful in supporting our needs. The complementary lattes in the morning were a wonderful way to start each day.

Perfect. Clean, contemporary, peaceful, quiet, safe and comfortable. The coffee is incredible! The owner is an absolute sweetheart and entertaining to chat with, and the communal space is inviting, relaxing and lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend sipping a coffee in one of the big red chairs. You won’t regret it.
