I love it! I will definitely be back.

Liked:The location is absolutely fantastic. It is very convenient for visiting Ottawa's main attractions and the University of Ottawa, which is wonderful for anyone attending a conference. The hostel offers daily tours of the jail in both English and French. I attended two sessions, and both were excellent. I was deeply moved by the patience and kindness of the tour guides and all the front desk staff. Even though our interactions were brief, I always left feeling happy because they were so warm and friendly. If I had more time, I would have loved to chat with them more (without interrupting their work, of course). The beds were also very comfortable.
Disliked:Since the building was converted from an old prison, every door is actually open at both the top and the bottom. As a result, there is almost no soundproofing at all. I could clearly hear people snoring or talking in the other rooms. However, I can sleep even when there is noise, so I did not actually mind it that much. Additionally, having to go up and down the stairs to borrow a hair dryer is a bit of a hassle. It would be much more convenient if there were a common area where hair dryers were fixed in place for everyone to use.
