“Victorian Elegance in the Heart of Ottawa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have used the inn’s own description because it is spot on. The Victorian decor is a feast for the eyes and what a great location – it’s a 15min walk to the canal or head either way to Rue Elgin or Rue Bank for places to eat. Richard, the host, is unassuming and he cooks a mean breakfast - there’s a different hot item every morning. The rooms are quaint with small or shared bathrooms. There’s a free dryer and washer which we found really handy – they even provide laundry liquid. For parking there are 5 squeezy parking spaces behind the house to be shared on a first come first serve basis between the 12 rooms. I recommend this place if you want something more memorable than a sterile hotel room.

“Elegant and relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2011

Richard, the innkeeper was extremely gracious. He was very open to answering questions about dining, transportation and sightseeing. The inn is beautiful, very well-appointed and with such an attention to detail. Richard made full-course and delicious breakfasts every morning. I was traveling alone and was made to feel very comfortable and welcome. I would stay there again and would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Ottawa.

“Will stay here again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Had a very pleasant stay, Richard was very friendly and accommodating – I arrived into town at 9am, and was able to leave my bags there. I was also upgraded to a much larger room with a small sunroom off to the side that was very nice. A copy of the most recent gay newspaper was on the bed as well – very thoughtful. The room was clean and it was quiet. It’s a good location – maybe 10 minute walk to Parliament Hill and close to restaurants and bars on Bank St. He had a nice breakfast ready every morning – there was fruit, pastries, yoghurt and cereal as well as a hot breakfast option (baked eggs with bacon and toasts – very good!). Next time I am in Ottawa I will stay here again and would recommend it to everyone.

“Great stay in Ottawa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed one night in this lovely Victorian building located a short walk from all the major attractions in Ottawa. VERY clean rooms and bathrooms: each room is decorated with lots of antiques and old photographs and paintings, but no dust ! Despite the relatively small size of our room, it had a very comfy double bed, two side tables and a work desk, two sofa chairs, a small fridge, a TV, a fireplace(!)...and enough space to move around ! We had our own bathroom and a free parking space for the day. The host Richard was very friendly (but not intrusive) and served us a delicious breakfast the following morning in the bright and sunny breakfast room. For the 135 $CAN a night we paid, it was excellent value for money ! If we go back to Ottawa, we'll definitely stay at this B&B again.
