Ottawa Backpackers Inn

Very good

Would not stay again when...

Liked: The showers were hot for the most part, unless too many went before you.
Disliked: Based on the photo collages in the living room this place had it's hey day in the early to mid-2000's and it hasn't been updated since. The kitchen is tiny and filled with items belonging to staff. The staff checking me in rude. There is not enough bathrooms. The bunks are super noisy. The dorm wasn't cleaned in the week plus that I was there.

Exceptional

Superb

Very poor

I suggest to never go...

Liked: Nothing!!!!
Disliked: It was a false representation and I lost my money because they told you after you paid that it's a female dorm (only) and they never gave me a refund.

Superb

I recommend to solo travelers

Liked: It's great worth for the money. The living area is a great place to chill and read a book and relax, especially because you cannot do these things in your room on a bunk bed with 7 other people. I loved just being the living room sometimes making small talk with others there or getting immersed in my book. The location is fantastic, everything relevant is walking distance. The bathrooms were really clean despite so many people living in the property. I recommend to anyone traveling solo.

Very good
