Fantastic, quiet B&B in a perfect location just north of Downtown Ottawa -- under 10mins walk to get to downtown core, and B&B is directly across the street from the Natural history Museum. An older home on a lovely, quiet street, my ground-floor bedroom was clean and charming and the full-size bed was very comfortable -- overall, simple and comfy accommodations (I prefer when B&Bs aren't trying to go over the top or be too showy/fancy). A shared bathroom was located between two rooms, also very clean and perfectly functional. Easy walkable access to a host of great little local restaurants and pubs that run along both nearby Bank St. and Elgin St. The owners -- Harri and Siri -- were absolutely amazing -- friendly, open and welcoming, and always had some interesting things to say! But they also fully respected my privacy and let me do my own thing. I didn't get a chance to actually try their Veggie breakfast (sadly, had to work too early during my stay), but if the breakfast is even a fraction as good as Harri and Siri were as hosts, I am sure it must be very delicious, indeed! Overall, for the price I paid and the perfectly chill and relaxing experience I had, I suspect that any future business visit to Ottawa will have me staying at this B&B instead of any of the much pricier hotels downtown. Fantastic value for money.

It was quiet and easy enough to travel into downtown by bus. However the photos portraying the B&B are misleading. Yes those are the rooms, but not how they look. The floors are sticky, it is very dusty and there is an accumulation of stuff that takes over. I don't usually want to give a bad review as it is someone's livelihood, but this is absolutely unacceptable as a B&B.

There is limited parking, however there is parking, which is a plus. Location was good. However, that is where the review ends with the positives. When we got there the hosts were very unprofessional and everything was a mess. There were boxes of paper and general clutter everywhere! Also, they have dogs which were nice however the hosts had mentioned issues with them with the city not having vaccines and they asked us for medical advice on their dog taking THC... not CBC. Just because we are in the veterinary field does not mean we are here to do a vet exam on your pet. Okay next, the room was not what was advertised, there seemed to be no AC or fans to turn on. Also the lamps were on extension cords into other extension cords, not very safe. There was another door onto the room which was locked from the other side, so also not feeling very safe. We stayed as little as possible here. It GETS WORSE! In the morning, we got up early (6:30am) and the hosts were already walking by our door with their dogs. We had a couple steps to the bathroom which was okay, however their dog pooped in the middle of the floor and I stepped in it on the way back from the bathroom as they must have defecated while in there. To top it off, while rinsing my feet in the tub (clothed) the host walks into the bathroom, I alert him off said poop and he responds "I know", picks it up and flushes it. Then we went to leave 15 minutes later and they still had not cleaned it up completely. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

This place is misrepresented. There is no breakfast. The picture above is not the place. I had no safe parking available even though I called in advanced to confirm that it will be in fact available. The owners did all they could to convince me to park my car in the farthest corner through ice and unshoveled snow where I would get stuck either on the way in or out. I tried to shovel the snow myself to make parking possible . Eventually I had to park in the street with a fear of being towed. During the whole process I was yelled at and had the door slammed in my face. I suggested they refund my money, but they refused. You won’t be able to adjust the thermostat. If you are a light sleeper, bring your ear plugs-you are by the street. The place is clean, but cluttered. The mattress was firm though, I liked that. The whole experience was stressful.

Place is untidy. Later in the evening I discovered the toilet was clogged. Calls to owner went unanswered. No fix by morning. I had to use the toilet.Unsanitary and I had to use the toilet. I packed up and left. Left the key in the door, messaged the owner I was checking out. I left the place. Messages to the owner through hotels.com have gone un-answered. I want a refund for the nights I could not stay there. No answers to several messages. The owner does not appear to care about upkeep to the point that this place was not fit to stay in. Terrible experience.

Advertised as a B&B but there was no breakfast. The building is old and not that well maintained. Furnishings are also old and unattractive. Very cluttered. Cleanliness was average. The bedding was old and the bed was not well made. We had some doubts as to whether the sheets had actually been cleaned (hard to say with any certainty because of their age). We do not recommend unless you are in desperate need of a place to sleep for one night.

The hosts are very kind and friendly; however, the facilities could be improved. Specifically, rooms are NOT air conditioned, and this is very uncomfortable during Ottawa’s increasingly frequent heat waves. Also, common areas are jammed with stuff making it feel disorganized, untidy, dark and dusty. The furniture in my room was mismatched and very worn — beyond vintage charm. It’s great value for the location, but next time, I will shell out more for a regular hotel with air conditioning, decor that feels tidy and clean.

The hosts are very nice and ready to accommodate any needs that you might have. I arrived late (about 8:30pm) and they waited for me. I suggest that if you are arriving later than 6pm call them directly to let them know. The room was nice and the bed was comfy. I was a little nervous about sharing a bathroom but there were no issues at all. As a single woman travelling alone I felt very safe. Also, the location is close to many of the attractions in Ottawa, including the Nature Museum and the parliament buildings. I would definitely stay here again.

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.
