The hostel is very cute and fairly clean. It is small but cozy. Why not five stars? There are a few things that could easily be better. First, there are rules everywhere. I am sure that there is no spot in the hostel where you don't see at least one page of rules. They are kind of passive aggressive and it seems like the person that wrote those rules hates sharing bedrooms or even apartments with other people. I felt like there is a lot of stuff I could do wrong. Second, you smell that it is old air and it seems like the windows never get opened. It's not strong but noticable. Because of curtains everywhere it is also kind of dark and gloomy. And all those rules made me unsure if I even am allowed to open the windows (I am serious here). This hostel didn't really welcome me to stay inside and relax a bit, I always felt like I have to get out of there.
But it is definitely good for a few nights, especially if you just want to explore Ottawa and be outside all day long!

I had a wonderful stay for 3 nights last November at Barefoot hostel, this hostel makes me feel safe, clam and warm. Two washrooms share by each floor, cozy living room and kitchenette.
Great location, bus stops, restaurants, grocery store and coffee shop were around.
No breakfast.

Lovely, clean hostel in a gorgeous old building. Check-in is at the Swiss Hotel next door. Kitchenette has a full size fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee maker. All bedrooms and a bathroom are upstairs, main floor has kitchinette, living area, and another washroom, with separate toilet and shower. I had to wait a couple minutes this morning to get into the washroom, but nothing too bad. There are a lot of community support organizations near the hostel, so I would recommend sticking to main roads like Cumberland and Rideau if you are anxious about arriving late. All the other guests were very friendly and courteous. Great value for the price. Thanks!
