Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The historic home setting with a great hockey legend touch was charming and comfortable, meeting all our needs. The staff were really nice and helpful, warmly welcoming us like we were at home. The location, while a bit quirky in parts, was excellent for exploring downtown Ottawa. The dining was excellent and well-located, offering delicious dishes and a quiet atmosphere. Overall, a great stay with a few minor quirks.
The hotel is located on the third floor with good lighting in the rooms, but they can feel a bit cold during nights and early mornings. The separate entrance and drive in the back are convenient amenities. The service was warm and hospitable, with beautiful and clean room decorations. The location is great for walking to various attractions, although there are some dodgy areas en route to certain places. The dining options were excellent in the main hotel, with made-to-order hot dishes and crepes available. Overall, a cozy stay but with minor drawbacks in terms of room temperature and specific walking routes.
The hotel is a charming gem with uniquely decorated rooms that are both comfortable and full of Victorian allure. The service is exceptional, with a friendly and welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. The location is perfect for exploring Ottawa, near the downtown area and key attractions. The dining experience is delightful, especially with the option for made-to-order hot dishes and crepes. Overall, a great value for a cozy stay in a historical setting.
