Rate & review Ottawa Jail Hostel

Where Profile

The site of Canada’s last public hanging — the purported killer of D’Arcy McGee was hanged in its gallows — is now a youth hostel. Haunted Walks offers a one-hour “Crime and Punishment” guided tour of the premises, held nightly, which includes the infamous Death Row. Ranked as one of the top 10 spookiest buildings in the world by Lonely Planet. See website for ticket info.
