Great location on a quiet downtown street! Walking distance to Byward Market, University of Ottawa, Parliament Hill and many other attractions. The hotel is a few blocks from a Farm Boy for grocery shopping and there are many restaurants and pubs nearby on Elgin St and Bank St. Thanks to Kaity in the SOHO Residences office for all her help before and during our stay! We hope to be back.

The property was modern, clean and comfortable. It was conveniently located near walkable dining and grocery options and was also close enough to downtown tourist attractions to be able to get there on foot. We felt that a few things could have been better: 1. The TV sets in the property were unable to be "found" by our tablet devices and so we were unable to cast our favourite streaming services to them and had to watch them on our tablets. Not sure if this is because the TVs were older models. The cable channels that were provided weren't of much interest to us. 2. The sliding doors on the bedroom closet wouldn't stay open and had to be held with one's foot while getting clothes out or putting them away. 3. Blackout lining on the blinds would make sleeping easier in summer. The frosted glass door on the bedroom door did nothing to keep the light out after 4am when the sun started to lighten the sky. 4. Small things to enhance guest convenience and comfort: There's a nice kitchen, but no basic supplies like salt and pepper, or sachets of sugar; only two coffee pods were provided - we had to ask for more (which were supplied, but it would've been better not to have to ask); liquid body wash for showering would have been preferable to bar soap (I know this is a personal preference, but it wouldn't cost much to provide in addition). Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend SOHO Residences Lisgar to others wanting to visit Ottawa.

We’ve come to Ottawa frequently for our kids who are in uni and stayed in a few different places but this is our favourite now! Fantastic accommodations in Centretown, close to everything. Secure building with amenities lose by. FAB Things: Gorgeous floor to ceiling windows looking onto downtown Ottawa, modern, clean, spacious, comfortable bed and Crate & Barrel sofa, with easy (and relatively affordable) parking! Bathroom was nice with decent water pressure and hot water! Towels were luxurious! Fridge, dishwasher worked well. Did not use microwave or stove/oven. Small issues: only 2 coffee pods, so need to get your own coffee for Day 2. A few plugs weren’t working, but concierge said they’d fix that. Washer worked well but dryer did not dry well and had to hang items after several hours in the machine. TV remotes could probably use new batteries. Biggest problem: bedroom needs blackout shades or eye masks PLEASE! We had a great stay and think we will prob stay at SoHo as our landing spot when we visit the kids as we were really comfortable here. We have photos and video but can’t upload those

New and modern place to stay, very comfortable, clean and quiet. I stayed on floor 16 and the view is a plus. There was a little pump with contactless check-in when the keys were left in a different mailbox with what informed, took the security guy 20 minutes to come for the rescue, but it was all good afterward and I heard that their service was 24/7.
