“Great location, service and breaky!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed in this lovely B&B after a terrible trip to Mexico. We were never so happy to be home and in Canada. We stayed in January and this place was toasty warm and so cozy. It was so great to use the internet in the main lobby at my leisure while gazing out the lovely large bay window. Breakfast was fresh and fantastic. Our room was on the very top floor which could be a bit of a climb for some travellers however we had my friends son to carry our luggage and the ladies at the B & B helped as well so it was all good. Our room could have used a bar fridge but it seems each room has it's own fire escape (at least the ones I saw) so we set our items in need or refrideration outside on the fire exit. We certainly felt safe in the event of fire! Albert House Inn is really convieniently located. We were just across the street from a 24 hr Quickie Mart and there were Pubs and restraunts within easy walking distance. The Parlament Buildings , the Rideau Canel and Chateau Laurier were only a couple streets over. I would have loved to stay longer but sadly, we wasted all our money in Mexico. We should have vacationed in Ottawa! This is a really pretty B&B. Staying at Albert House Inn the last night away was the best part of our vacation. I wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Room Tip: If you have mobility issues choose a floor lower to the ground. It is quite a climb to get to the ve...

Thank you for your review and your kind words about our downtown location, our great service and breakfast and for pointing out that we have rooms on upper levels.

Our rooms are located on three floors and yes, we have no elevator. We do say on our website when booking that stairs are used to access rooms and if mobility is an issue we do suggest that guests ask for a room on a lower level. We always do our best to accommodate. Having said this, many of our guests do prefer to be on the top floor. Assistance will luggage is always available.

It's a good tip to ask for the lower level if needed - thank you.

“A great spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Stayed two nights in January 2012. Excellent location, easy to find, secure parking, loads of restaurant choices (Baton Rouge was crowded and good if a little pricey; Bay St. Bistro had good food), fantastic breakfast with lots of choices including a cooked-to-order with eggs, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, toast, etc. etc.), warm and cosy with character, and the staff could not be more helpful. As we were checking out, they offered to make a fresh pot of coffee so we could take two cups "to go". Our room had two twins and was quite small, but there's a lovely lounge on the first floor with a fireplace, and we had a glass of wine there. My husband found his bed too soft so if you need a firm mattress, you might want a different room. Check first. Overall we had a lovely stay and would stay here again!

“Where we stay in Ottawa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

We have spent several nights over several years at the Albert House Inn, and we have been consistently satisfied with the room, breakfast and service. The staff is friendly and helpful, the location is right on a transitway for many different buses and it's a 15-20 minute walk into the Parliament/Byward Market area. Parking is available but tight, and there are only a few restaurant options within 2-4 blocks. A 24-hour convenience shop across the street has bus tickets for those uninterested in day passes. Rooms were small but comfortable, and each one has been different. Reasonably priced, and we heartily recommend it!

“Wonderful get away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2011

I have traveled much with my career and far less with my wife so it was important to find a nice place to get away with her. The Albert House delivered with spades. The room was very clean and well decorated. The bed was very comfortable and supplied a great night's sleep to the both of us. The service was outstanding, friendly and the blueberry pancakes were almost as good as the coffee. The location is perfect walking distance to all the tourist sites and some great places to eat. I was honestly expecting to pay more and will staying there again.
