Self-check was smooth. Lovely decor in Hotel. Bright welcoming room, spacious & comfortable. I highly recommend this Hotel. No car? Easy frequent public transit to downtown Ottawa, and return. Good restaurants nearby and a lovely walk to beach/Marina short distance away. Will stay at The British Hotel again.

We stayed with kids and truly appreciated the generous and amazing space. However, the bedding and seating areas were quite dusty, which was disappointing. We were also expecting daily housekeeping, but none was provided. Additionally, it felt a bit off-putting not having anyone available on-site to speak with or address concerns directly.

Clean, spacious room and bathroom. Easy check-in process. Located in a nice neighborhood. A bit noisy, as we heard all the late night/early morning footsteps from the room above us.

we loved our stay here and plan to return in the future. the suite was huge, decorated well, and had some actual dishes we could use! a little thing but i feel it makes a big difference in vibe to use real glassware or have a bowl to put your chips in. our room had some slight damage (looked like the tv or something had been mounted on the wall but taken down) and the screen door to our little balcony (which i loved having) was pretty difficult to slide open and closed. Neither of these really bothered me, but i will say my one negative was that there was no trashcan in our suite other than one comically small one in the bathroom. drinks at the bar were tasty and a blueberry-filled pastry at cafe british was AMAZING. looking forward to our next stay.

Well renovated 1834 hotel. Will stay again. Far from Ottawa if you have to commute in the rush hours.

We recently stayed at The British Hotel in Quebec and opted for the Executive Room — and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The room itself was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated with a charming blend of modern comfort and heritage character. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated the attention to detail — from the plush linens to the thoughtful touches like the espresso machine and high-quality toiletries. The large windows offered lovely natural light, and the ambiance was quiet and relaxing. Although there were no staff members on-site during our stay, check-in via lockbox was simple and well-organized, and we had no issues accessing the building or our room. The historic charm of the hotel building adds something really special to the stay — you can feel the personality and story behind the space, which is a refreshing change from the more generic hotel chains. Our only minor critique is that the room could have used a bit more soundproofing — we could hear the pubs patrons talking outside and heard footsteps or hallway noise. Although they did provide ear plugs . That said, it wasn’t enough to ruin our stay. The location is excellent — close to the waterfront and within walking distance of charming cafes and local shops. We would definitely return and recommend The British Hotel to anyone looking for a boutique-style experience in Quebec with a touch of history and comfort.

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed both the hotel and the surrounding area. The underground secure parking was a great bonus. The pub downstairs can get a bit lively on the weekends (we were in Room 203), but we travel with earplugs and a white noise machine, so it wasn’t an issue for us!

short trip

We recently stayed at the British Hotel in Aylmer for a short visit with friends and family, and we were pleased with our experience. The room was wonderful, featuring a king-size bed and cable TV. The shower had great pressure, and the room was clean and well-maintained. The pre-arrival information was helpful, making check-in smooth. The friendly staff at the welcome desk of the restaurant were very helpful. Great price and food. One thing to note is that parking was a bit tight, and navigating the small parking area was confusing. Additionally, accessing the lobby from the parking area was a bit tricky, and we ended up having to walk out and around to the front doors. However, the hotel's location is excellent, with many shops, cafes, and amenities nearby, including the mall, marina, and banks. The terrace was a lovely touch. Sad we couldn't book again for an upcoming wedding due to availability, But we still recommend the hotel to others. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and we'd consider returning again and again!
