The house is well located, 2 blocks away from the animation, it offers a parking lot, internet, the access to a common living room and drinks. The host, Maria, is also very welcoming, she gives you all the tips about her house (have a guided tour of the parliament, go to the museum of civilisations!) and her city, and prepares... More

I stumbled upon this quaint B&B because I couldn't find a hotel room in Ottawa for a poorly planned business trip. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I met some interesting people, in addition to the marvelous hostess Maria. The breakfasts prepared by Maria were unique and delicious, and my room was clean, quiet, and quaint.... More

Maria has many repeat and regular customers and is justifiably renowned for her outstanding breakfasts. She smoothly meets any special dietary needs of a guest. Free parking and Internet were great plusses for me. The thoughtful amenities unobtrusively made available are too numerous to name. I stayed for 6 nights to attend a demanding course. I slept well and everything... More

Maria is a marvelous hostess. Her b&b is spotless and her breakfasts delicious and better than I could have imagined. I was in Ottawa for 10 days during a difficult time for me and my stay at Ambiance was everything that I needed - central location within walking distance to the very centre of Ottawa, a place where I could...

I was so fabulously taken care of at Ambiance! I was on my own in Ottawa for nearly a week (for a conference), so it was great to have a "home" to come back to in the evenings. The breakfasts were the best I've ever had at a B&B, and access to wireless, an evening tea/microwave area, and a living... More

This b&b is in very good shape. Everything looked spotless and it shows the owner really makes an effort maintaining the place. That probably explains all the rules/policies. For me personally, that made everything a bit too strict, or formal if you wish. However, I respect the owner's choices and, admittedly, that makes for a smoothly run business. Like I... More
