Downtown Bed and Breakfast

I had a wonderful time during my short trip. The house is old, so surely the facilities may not be as good as some newer places. However, it was still okay in general, and its age makes it a nice option for people who want to see what older houses are like (despite the age of the house in general, the washroom has been lately updated and was clean, as someone picky about washrooms, I'm generally satisfied). The owners are very welcoming. I was a bit confused and nervous before my trip as I didn't receive instructions about check-in, but the whole process turned out to be easy and smooth. Simple vegetarian breakfast is included with no extra charge. The dairy products, the cereals, and the baked toast are great. Generally good location with the Museum of Nature and plenty of good restaurants, pubs, and other food places around the property. It's not close to O Train but bus stops are within a few minutes' walk, and it's an easy drive from the airport. Another thing I liked is that unlike some other B&Bs, I didn't find any stringent and hard house rule, instead things generally remained quite flexible. It's worth noticing that the owners now have two (lovely) dogs, so for people who are not comfortable with dogs for any reason, better to notify the property beforehand so that you can make arrangements beforehand.

I stayed there by myself in april 2024. The hosts are very nice and made me feel very welcome and safe. The morning coffee is delicious. The bed is comfortable and the room very nice. the location is ideal and close to lots of activities.

I made my reservation weeks ahead of time and told them that I needed a gluten free diet. I received an email back telling me not to worry because their gluten free breakfast would be yummy. I was offered instant coffee, orange juice and a Clementine. Yummy..not. The kitchen was disgusting and the carpets were not clean. No air conditioning , no tv and a very cluttered environment. I was here for a conference so I had breakfast the nest couple of days at the hotel. My husband also went out for a good breakfast. Will not go back or recommend this B&B to anyone.

It's a beautiful century home well kept and clean. A great location across the street from the museum and within walking distance to the Parliament buildings, historical sites, and many other places of interest. What truly sets this B&B apart from the others are your hosts. A lovely couple who will treat you like family and make your stay with them special. They're knowledge of Ottawa and it's history is amazing. They will gladly reccomend restaurants, shops, entertainment, museum's, historical sites and many points of interest. I have stayed with them many times, this B&B is a gem, priceless!!!
