Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel

On the tail end of this year’s first week-long heat wave, and kicking off on the solstice, this weekend is the first official summer weekend! Celebrate the arrival of this stellar season with some great goings on around town.

I went to take a look into one of the most unique hostels in the city. The Saintlo Ottawa Jail Hostel is a repurposed prison in downtown Ottawa, a hostel that maintains much of the original jail structure and which offers accomadations far from the ordinary.
