The location is great. The owner is amazing and so kind. And the stay was quiet, even though over the weekend. I can't say enough that's great about Rideau Inn. If I can get a room there every time I come to Ottawa, I'd be a lucky man.

To be fair... The wifi is choppy in the room. But this is also mentioned when you first arrive in your room. And for me, it's no big deal. The wifi is perfect in the common rooms downstairs. So if you really want to watch that Netflix show... you can download it in 5 minutes downstairs and go watch it fine :)

Loved the old home ambiance, large room big windows, comfy bed. The host was super friendly and parking in the back very convenient. It’s very close to everything you need in Ottawa!

Best case scenario- the washroom would be in the room but it was not too bad going in the hallway to the private bathroom. At least you know the bathroom assigned is for your room only. It would be nice to at least have Netflix on the TV. Most people like to wind down with a show before sleep and there was nothing on television! Not a big deal, but a little goes a long way.

Rideau Inn is a fabulous place to stay in downtown Ottawa -- it's incredibly well positioned so walking to and from the sites is very easy. The room was lovely and large, and the breakfast exactly what one would hope for. The host Lucie was also extraordinarily helpful and accommodating!

The bathroom across and down the hall from the "Québéc" room wasn't ideal, and I would have appreciated slippers for nighttime visits. The shower head is also too large for the small shower stall.

Quaint, large, and comfortable room in a Victorian era home, with several spacious common areas, a simple (and cheap!) breakfast, and incredibly responsive staff (Lucy is delightful 😊). Perfect downtown location and a few parking spots for rent as well (cheap for Ottawa, trust me!). I will definitely stay there again.

A few rooms have separate bathrooms, BUT they are still dedicated privately and are very good and clean, so a very minor inconvenience.

This is a modest, quiet, immaculate property with an extremely accommodating host who will go out of her way to meet your needs. Breakfast is basic continental but excellent value for the nominal cost. Every question has been anticipated with detailed notes to make things easy. The bed was comfortable and the water, hot :). There is a park with tennis courts across the street and the Inn is just around the corner from Elgin's restaurants and weekend Market. It is an easy walk to the Canal and downtown. I would certainly return.

The bed was a little hard for me, but the room was nice and the house was beautiful. It is also located very centrally so we could walk everywhere.

Nice property, but next time I would ask for a room at the back since there was a lot of noise from the restaurants on Elgin. But this was the weekend when students were back in town for university, so this may not be common occurrence.

excellent location 20 min walk from Parliament Hill and all the main attractions. the metro 15 min walk. varied and quality breakfast. water available in the room every day. kind and helpful staff. the room was very spacious and the bed comfortable as well as the washroom. impeccable cleanliness of every room. I will definitely come back if I visit Ottawa again

All perfect ; just WiFi signal is not the best

While the room was small and cozy, it has all the amenities we needed. The space was well equipped with shelves and hooks for towels and toiletries. Our room was on the main floor next to kitchen, dining room and living room. So it felt like home. The continental breakfast was very nice. Located near Elgin Street, we have easy access to restaurants and the important sights. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Many thanks to the gracious hostess!

I really love the place. Was clean, comfortable, very good location. Staff was great. Breakfast delicious!! i will definitely recommend and if coming back, this will be the place to stay. My room was with full bath inside and it was great. It has a good desk where i was able to work a little.

I hope they would have told me breakfast has to be paid in cash. I did not have change. However, staff was supper nice, i only had 1USD and breakfast cost 2 Canadian dollar. She let me have it! very kind

The bed and linens were wonderful. The bathroom was a great size and was nice and clean. The room and the overall building has a lot of charm. The staff were kind, welcoming, and gracious. The receptiveness and flexible acceptance of my special requests (arriving after office hours, checking out 1.5 hours late, a space for an e-meeting) were so appreciated.

The only small thing was that the sink in the bathroom never yielded hot water, and the shower did not have hot water for more than 10 minutes. Neither of these things are certainly requirements in my eyes, more like a nice to have. But in all fairness, it is an old building, and I expected less hot water as a result.
