“If you are looking for a home away from home, then the Rideau Inn is for you!”
While the house is a historic building and older, it is well maintained and incredibly clean. It felt less like an impersonal hotel and more like staying at a home - very cozy and comfortable. The owner Lucie was so kind and welcoming as well.

“Very nice. A beautiful home and right next to so many restaurants/museums.”
The property was charming and very clean. We were greeted with a smile and lots of help. I had not understood the parking situation but the Rideau Inn made every effort to help us with finding a parking solution for our stay. We stayed in the Canadian suite, a basement suite with 2 bedrooms and living room, kitchenette and separate bathroom. It was all spotlessly clean. Being an incredibly hot 2 days we were thankful that we were in the basement where it was cooler and 2 airconditioners were provided, one for each bedroom. The noise of these might bother some people but we were grateful for the cooling and understand the issues around older homes.

“Really excellent place to stay, and would encourage anyone visiting Ottawa to look here first!”
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!

“Loved it, thank you!”
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.

“I enjoyed staying at Rideau Inn and would for sure recommend it.”
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.
