Description
A great place to hang! www.hihostels.ca/ottawa The HI-Ottawa Jail Hostel is probably the only jail in Canada you'll want to spend the night in! Formerly known as the Carleton County Gaol, this preserved heritage building guarantees a one-of-a-kind experience as you may spend the night in one of the former cells or take a tour of the 8th floor where death row inmates counted their last hours. Don't worry, we also offer all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay: a bar, a backyard patio, organized events, a kitchen, a FREE continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi access and much more.
The hostel is part of Hostelling International (HI). HI is a not-for-profit organization with over 4 000 hostels worldwide and more than 60 across Canada. For more info: www.hihostels.ca.

With the beautiful sunshine, and #spring upon us in full force this weekend, we think it's time to get those shoes on and get #outside. It's good for you. Even David Suzuki says so, and he's the expert! So get out, have an #adventure, get a little lost, and let nature wake you up from a long winter hibernation. Happy trails!

One of the most amazing things about hostelling is the opportunity to make new friends from all over the world. Inevitably, people decide to head down their own paths, and parting ways can be difficult and bittersweet. The people that impact our lives the most, however, will always hold a place in our memories and ultimately in our hearts. It is with both sadness and excitement that we want to wish Aria the best in his future endeavours! His commitment to the hostel, his colleagues, and to our guests has made him an invaluable member of our family. We’ll miss your dry English humour and ability to make everyone around you smile. But most of all... we’ll miss you. You’re a “heckuva” guy, and we look forward to seeing the great things you will accomplish in the future. Take care, and always remember your Canadian family here in Ottawa!! (ps. We will continue to proudly display your name on your office door. It is officially yours!!)
