Excellent

My stay at the Rideau Inn was fantastic. All the amenities my room bathroom and common spaces were comfortable warm and inviting. From when you enter you feel at home. Very clean, well organized. The owner Lucy was attentive to my needs.
The location was perfect (in front of a parc and close to restaurants and pubs, walking distance from city hall)
There’s a bike path just the street above and it’s very easy to get around.
Parking is tight though, I parked at the Nature museum which was walking distance from the place. But if you have a small car, there is parking in the back of the inn.
So I would definitely recommend this place. I came for the Ottawa marathon and the Rideau Inn hit the mark in comfort, logistics and home away from home :)

It was a great location for our needs and we appreciated the hospitality! It is an older house so not everyone's cup of tea but bed was comfortable, water pressure in shower excellent, and economical breakfast option appreciated.
Good little bed and breakfast, easy 20-30 min walk to sites to see and close to canal which is a beautiful walk to take. Staff are polite and welcoming. Depending on the room you are assigned the bathroom and toilet might be in the hallway near the room but are very clean easily accessible. Very close to dinning options about a 5 min walk away, very quiet area to stay.

Clean, quaint B&B in the heart of Ottawa. Tight parking though, larger vehicles will be difficult to park

The inn was good not great, and the breakfasts were disappointing--some hot food (other than toast) would have been good. I don't feel I got my money's worth.
I had a 10-day stay at the Rideau Inn, and was impressed by how well run it is. The room, bathroom and common areas were kept exceptionally clean, and you could see a great deal of care had gone into their arrangement - the provincial themes for each room are also a nice touch. Lucie the manager is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended overall!
We loved the character of this inn. It's location is excellent, great dining options within minutes and easy walking to ByWard Market, canal, parliament, etc.
The Rideau Inn is a beautiful historic home in downtown Ottawa. Lucie greeted us safely and professionally. All amenities were explained so we felt comfortable with everything.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat
