We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Barefoot Hostel. What stood out the most was its exceptional value, offering all the essentials for a short stay: a well-equipped kitchen, bathroom amenities (including a hairdryer), and convenient proximity to tourist attractions.The easy access to public transportation added to the overall positive experience
Regarding the Barefoot Hostel, the only inconvenience we encountered was the check-in time at 3:00 PM and the check-out time at 11:00 AM. However, this was mitigated by the option to leave our luggage there while taking a walk around the city

Very nice and calm place. We had a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Due to flight delays, we arrived after the check-in time, but the hotel owner kindly assisted us in getting into our room. I greatly appreciate her support.

The hostel is clean, cosy and offers everything you need for a few nights. It is really close to the By market. The owner is lovely and helpful. For example, we could leave our bags for the day at the reception. We will come back for sure during the summer !

The location is fantastic in downtown Ottawa in proximity to places of interest. Very clean. Very helpful reception. Good kitchen amenities.
I was concerned about some google ads that referred to the hostel as for women only! This confused me when i was doing the booking and i had to call the hostel owner ( at the Swiss hotel next door) to confirm. It is for all adults, men and women.

Very home-like experience! Full kitchen, large tv with access to netflix. Amazing location at the heart of Ottawa social life!
Beds were stiffer than expected. Downstairs shower was way too small. Upstairs shower needs renovating but is okay.

The owner is a so sweet lady from Switzerland. Location is fine.
The house is old cause of this floor makes noise while walking. Its not a big thing but u need to put your step softly if you dont want to disturb other household 😊

The location is prime and has a friendly vibe.
You have to check in and check out from the Swiss hotel but that's fine.
