It has been awhile since I stayed here but I am feeling compelled to still write this review. A few friends and I were traveling in canada watching some fifa U20 world cup. A friend had booked the stay with them and it was a great decision. The hosts were very accommodating. The only request they had, which was very... More

Matt, I am laughing with joy from the fact you've remembered us. We certainly remember you and your group. Yes, you were quiet at night and a fun group. Thank-you for the generosity of your time to think of us on TripAdvisor! Love and light to you and the group. More

I recently stayed for a week at this B&B and Spa and highly recommend it for a peaceful and comfortable stay. All the Ottawa sights are easily walkable from here and you get a good flavour of the city in the various restaurants and stores right around the corner. The hosts are warm, welcoming and knowledgeable people; as well, I... More

As advertised on the website, the description of the B & B does not correspond completely to reality: the rooms are in an unacceptable condition regarding furnishings and cleaning. The house at dinner time it is permeated with an unbearable smell (the kitchen at my entrance was a mess, with food and dishes everywhere and so it remained throughout the... More

Dear Family, Your stay was most pleasant and your reviews to us in person were most positive. We enjoyed your company until you demanded we feed your large party breakfast close to noon. Our breakfast hours are stated clearly in your rooms. You may help yourself to coffee and tea 24/7. We refused to be manipulated by your the threat... More

I always enjoy a peaceful stay at this BnB. The hosts are welcoming and provide attentive yet unobtrusive service. They take pride in offering a clean and comfortable room, fresh breakfast and information on how to take in the best that Canada's capital has to offer. The inside of the home was painted by a local artist, and has all... More

Visited this place 10 years ago or so and was a treat to come by and revisit. Hosts are very nice. Cosy in a well maintained century home. On the quiet edge of one of the livelier streets of Ottawa (Elgin) More

I always leave the Downtown Bed and Breakfast feeling better that before getting there! I get the tranquility needed to rest after long days at work, and I sometimes get a really really good and deep massage from Siri, which really makes me relax and makes me ready to face my day with more energy. I would recommend this place... More

The place is well located but in no exchange with the required price. We now have 4 weeks of experience in B&B and really were shocked when entering that space. Parking in the backyard and seeing the garbage and clutter there should have been a warning. The room was poor and we had the idea to sleep on some plastic... More

This is funny. On the page you are writing this review, we have 2 stars clearly stated. There are no four stars on our ratings, although it is service we aspire to. We apologize for offering you only one of the 3 bathrooms in house. We were hoping that would have been adequate for your needs. Kitchen access is not... More

This b&b is average for the most but cannot recommend it. The place is centrally located downtown but I suggest to look elsewhere. the place has a pungent smell as soon as you walk in and it is most likely coming from the kitchen that is in poor condition. There were pieces of broken glass on the kitchen floor, which... More
