Algonquin College Residence

Not a good place to live, there is literally a giant hole entry for the AC on the wall in every room because it's a shared AC system, which means you can still hear your roommate loud and clear even at lower level of noises. Plus they will kick you out from your room if you don't have an early room offer on your next term without them asking you if you will stay or not. There is a lot of places to rent that are not only cheaper but also better than this garbage place.

Up to 50% of the laundry machines are broken 24/7 all year. Theyre also super small and can only do small loads for $2 each. The cafeteria food quality plummets as the year goes on and they cut costs. They start with good food and then it gets worse overtime - cheaper and has gotten my friends and I sick multiple times, especially the sub bar.

Um, yeah. Don't mistake this place for a Residence Inn, like my company did. The staff are nice, the rooms are good sized dorms, but the 7 minute walk from the front desk to my room was a bit more exercise than usual. Cheap rooms if you're on a budget, and don't mind staying on campus with all the college kids. Coworkers reported bed bugs...

This stupid place has a broken air conditioner that no one fixes, and the soundproofing is unimaginably poor. The students are forced to spend money here.

The worst place to live in Ottawa.There was no hydro for three days and they don't even have any generator or any other back up plan to provide.The hallways don't have any emergency lights, Exit signs were not lighted up.The Regional Sales Manager whom we went and enquires about hydro updates hesitated to talk with us, he gave his business card to reach out for any inconvenience, when we tried to contact him, he didn't answer the calls.Please don't ever book a stay with them.I saw your reply on my review, but here you purposely neglected about your Irresponsibilities such as there was no back up plan to provide power using generators or emergency lights.The hallways were pitch black without any emergency lights, exit signs were not lighted up.Can you mention how the people residing there would respond in a fire situation? All other hotels provided power to their customers by using generator back up.What about you guys?So please don't blame the tornado.If you are billing people you are responsible to provide the services as well.Hope you understand.Thank you.

We were in a trip to Gatineau and Ottawa,and booked at the same day, the price was almost half of any other hotel or motel there.We booked a suit of 2 rooms with twin beds,one bathroom,and dining room.Everything was super neat and clean.It was much better than any other hotel,We used the parking for only $5/day.The staff are super friendly and nice.I highly recommend to all who visit Ottawa or Gatineau.

Terrible was paired with someone random. The place is a mess, she smokes pot on campus and her boyfriend is living in the dorm too. Which is not allowed on campus. I reported it several times through email, in person, and phone. They did nothing and ignored me. For the price it is definitely not worth it. Staff will do nothing so it's better to rent a room somewhere else.

$14,000 for a year, they turn the AC off as soon as they can to try and save money. My room has been 27 degrees for a week and I’ve had maintenance people tell me I’m going to have to “deal with it”. Try sleeping with your room that hot

Worst place ever. Made a review last year.....I was told by the residence staff when I left to give the place a second chance. I am here again and nothing has changed. The hallways are constantly filled with people making noise til late at night. I made over 10 calls to the front desk via phone from the room. I have a bad back and cannot walk all the way to the front desk so I needed assistance but never got any.Couldn't connect to the WiFi due to it being an unsecured network.No noise cancellation.Didn't speak french to me when I said Bonjour but was able to speak hindi at the front desk.Payed for my stay at 2pm and was told I didn't have to wait in line at 4pm when my room would be ready. When I arrived at 4pm....I had to wait in line with a (bad back) for 30 minutes.I hate this place with a passion. Noone come here. You'll be wasting your money. I'd rather pay 150$ more for the Sheridan or delta hotel.

Terrible. All term either freezing or sweating to death. Bedroom is freezing and thermostat says 48 degrees. Does not matter if it is Fahrenheit or Celsius, 48 is not a realistic room temperature. Open a ticket, within an hour, the ticket is closed. Nothing fixed, no explanation, but now I have a broken lamp.
