Positive Reviews
positive:
Central Ottawa location.
Guests rate the location of this Bed and Breakfast, saying that it’s within walking distance of downtown Ottawa, and also provides easy access to main transport links. You should find everything you need within walking distance, and you’ll be close to the entertainment district’s bright lights.
positive:
Friendly staff.
The staff offer a friendly and helpful service, according to guests. This is a small guesthouse, so staff will take the time to get to know you and will do their best to accommodate requests. Plus, with 24-hour service at the front desk, there’s always someone around to deal with queries.
positive:
Good value for money.
The good value price is a winner for guests who are looking for a stay in central Ottawa on a budget. You can accommodate a family in the apartment accommodation to keep costs down, and there are extras like free Wi-Fi included.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited breakfast choice.
The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired, particularly if you’re staying for several days. Guests say that the same breakfast of omelette and toast is the only thing on offer, day in, day out, so if you want something different, you’ll have to find somewhere else to eat.
negative:
Old-fashioned decor.
The rooms are in need of updating, according to guests, and the floral bedspreads aren’t to everyone’s taste. Overall, the décor is bit old-fashioned, and while clean, you may find that some of the furniture and furnishings are in need of replacing.
negative:
Poor air-conditioning.
Guests complain that the advertised air-conditioning either doesn’t work properly or is missing altogether from the room, so if you’re staying in the summer, you might find it hot and stuffy, especially at night. Conversely, in the winter, some problems have been noted with the erratic heating.
