Superb

Great place. Charming and interesting

Loved it, thank you!

Liked: The location is great. The owner is amazing and so kind. And the stay was quiet, even though over the weekend. I can't say enough that's great about Rideau Inn. If I can get a room there every time I come to Ottawa, I'd be a lucky man.
Disliked: To be fair... The wifi is choppy in the room. But this is also mentioned when you first arrive in your room. And for me, it's no big deal. The wifi is perfect in the common rooms downstairs. So if you really want to watch that Netflix show... you can download it in 5 minutes downstairs and go watch it fine :)

Exceptional

Liked: Loved the quiet ambiance of the property. Nice vintage home with everything you need. Lucie is so helpful and accommodating.
Disliked: The bed. It was very hard.

Superb

Liked: Great kind host, spacious and great location.

Good location and great staff...

Liked: My primary reason for selecting this hotel was its excellent proximity to the Learning Crossroads at UOttawa, a convenient 15-minute walk for my conference. I also appreciated being within walking distance of numerous restaurants. Beyond the great location, I was very pleased with how clean the room was, and the friendly and helpful service I received during check-in truly stood out.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the in-room Wi-Fi was very weak and inconsistent, which was VERY frustrating when I needed to prepare for my conference. I had to use my phone's hotspot as a workaround. Another point to consider is the shower's placement in the bedroom, right beside the bed. While this won't bother everyone, it could be less ideal for those sharing a room with someone they're not entirely comfortable showering in front of.

I enjoyed staying at Rideau...

Liked: I didn't make use of the breakfast although it looked as it was described. The host was really nice and arranged a warm welcome.Everything was available in the room, plenty of towels, enough points to charge your devices, good bed etc.
Disliked: nothing

Very good

Liked: Cheap but good breakfast, coffee machine available, quiet place, nice personnel
Disliked: unstable wi-fi

Very good

Liked: Breakfast Very good/Room clean/Location reasonable
Disliked: Bathroom outside the room

Really excellent place to stay,...

Liked: Rideau Inn is a fabulous place to stay in downtown Ottawa -- it's incredibly well positioned so walking to and from the sites is very easy. The room was lovely and large, and the breakfast exactly what one would hope for. The host Lucie was also extraordinarily helpful and accommodating!
Disliked: The bathroom across and down the hall from the "Québéc" room wasn't ideal, and I would have appreciated slippers for nighttime visits. The shower head is also too large for the small shower stall.
