Great location and good room with self catering facilities but be prepared to do your own cleaning and linen changes. That’s all part of how the hotel chain has decided to keep prices low. Staff are great and getting replacement towels was a simple matter of asking at the front “desk”. But for some who expect daily maid service the do-it-yourself aspect may be a surprise. In room TV includes option for logging into your own Netflix and other accounts which is a really smart feature.

Very nice place that had all the amenities of home right downtown at a great price. The restaurant next door, Cocotte, was great but pricy.

Wow -what a fabulous property. The Sonder Rideau is my new fav hotel in Ottawa. Spotlessly clean, wonderful staff, massive room, and a fraction of the cost of a regular hotel. Highly recommend!

Good location to walk to most tourist sites. Clean but no bathroom fan (personal preferance) in the morning ask staff recommendation for breakfast. She suggested the Tim Hortons next door (which is part of the building with an access door to the hotel). We went to the Tim Hortons and it was closed. Room was usual for regular hotel noise until Saturday night when a group outside, across the street in a vacant lot was very loud and noisy. The swear jar would be full as every third word was foul (f##k). Staff did nothing to address this issue. I will chose another hotel next time I am in Ottawa

Disliked: Room comfort
Beds were comfortable, but layout of suite was terrible, and furniture was less than ideal. Couldn't properly see the TV from the sofa - had to rearrange furniture to watch it. Beside tables in MBR were small and short with no drawers. Bedside lamps in bedroom were not proper bedside lamps - far too low to shine light on a book. No dresser (or TV) in MBR.
