Very good location, clean and cosy place, breakfast was provided to us, although we were checking out too early for breakfast time (around 6 am). We visites Ottawa in October, so it was low season and it was very quiet in the house - actually we were told that there were the two of us and one guest only. Shared... More

Loved being walking distance from Elgin street, which had a lot of good restaurants & pubs. Wonderful old house with a very nice common room. Our room had a private half bath, and everything was clean and comfortable. Couple of drawbacks--shared shower (had to wait) and continental breakfast.

I stayed at Rideau Inn for approximately 2 months earlier this year (Jan-Feb), and it was a real "home away from home". Location was perfect, steps away from Elgin street in the city core, and walking distance to transit, great restaurants and shopping. Proximity to transit was important as I was commuting on a daily basis to the western part... More

I stayed there in June of this year. The pillow cases smelled of oily head! I tossed them into the porch adjoining the room and shut the door. In the morning the washroom was occupied for close to an hour. When I returned to try the washroom again and heard that it was still occupied an F -off came from... More

On the plus side is reasonable cost and location, able to walk everywhere On the down side - the building is quite old and creaky and you hear everything. Used to b&bs with a more congenial atmosphere and as others have stated breakfast a bit disappointing

This was our third stay at Rideau Inn and it is always a pleasant stay. Close to everything, and I enjoy the 'help yourself' to breakfast concept. It is close to everything and we once we arrive, we rarely take the car, we are able to walk everywhere. We usually bring our bikes and are always able to store them... More

I stayed at the Rideau Inn B&B for about 3 months during the winter. The manager gave me a very warm welcome, showed me my room and explained everything to me. She is very friendly and helpful and goes above and beyond to make the stay as comfortable and nice as possible. The house itself is very old, but beautifully... More

Extremely nice bed and breakfast. It was very clean and very pleasant to wake up to such a charming room. The staff are extremely quick cleaners. Before I had finished washing up for the morning, they had already made my bed, taken out the trash, changed my bath linens, and locked the door. They were long gone before I even... More
