Ottawa Bed & Breakfast

Plussat: Breakfast is the only pleasant thing. And dragged the score to massive 3.3 points.

Miinukset: MacDonald room: 1. The room description states the private bathroom is outside the room, it is actually 20 metered away and when went there in the middle of the night by the time you back to the room you completely awake. 2. The balcony door has massive gaps between the door frame , both are thin and wooden, outside temperature was -10 Celsius, the feet were freezing. 3. Room heater , turned on , after 2-3minutes the electricity shutted down, we were in the dark room with no light. called the owner , didn't pick the call, messaged him, replied after 5 minutes. 4. Coffee machine is outside the room , shared. 5. Ignorant, arrogant , grinning owner. When arrived and complained above all things above , he said you take it or leave it ,but still get charged as there is cancellation policy. Refused to change a room. No apologies and no will to fix the issue at all. 6. We got charged for 2 nights on arrival, even though it was two separate bookings. When asked the owner next morning why we got charged in advance as it is unusual practice , he replied that when people don't like the room, they run away not paying, that was an explanation. 7. Tried to take a shower, hot water was gone within 5 minutes. When said it to the owner, he plied there is a tank and a lot of people using it. 8. The rule to take of the shoes is beyond of my understanding. If you go next door for the breakfast , shoes on in the building where stayed and next door shoes off again to enter. 9. Kevan , on arrival gave us instructions where and what we can do , which was utter pathetic. 10. Parking is 4 minutes away from the property and it is not pleasant experience to walk in -10 Celsius. Parking is located near two appartment blocks which looked dodgy. Beware of you have a nice car. 11. The ceiling is thin and we heard when someone walked or talked in the room above. Sometimes we got a feeling that they move the furniture or something heavy. 12.

Plussat: Great host, wonderful breakfast, very comfortable room. It was also a great location.

Miinukset: There was nothing we did not like.

Plussat: Amazing! Very nice location, only 15 min walking from the city center. The owner was super kind and gentle. The house is very nice, the room very big and clean, with all the comforts and also with a nice balcony. The bathroom (private) simply amazing! And... Jacuzzi with the view of the sky!

Plussat: Everything was well organized. Very clean, private and inviting. It felt like a home away from home. It was my first time staying in a bed and breakfast and I was not disappointed.

Miinukset: I really have no complaints!

Plussat: The staff was fantastic, the house and room was cozy and the breakfast a delight.

Plussat: it was a very comfortable stay and Kevan was just lovely as a host. the breakfast was excellent! while we only stayed overnight, we have no doubt we will consider Benner's again on our next trip to Ottawa.

Plussat: Beautiful home right near downtown and the convention centre. VERY clean and well appointed. Best Breakfasts I've ever had at a BnB. Highly recommend!

Miinukset: Bathroom as a bit small -- would be uncomfortable for a larger person. Very near university and the area was a bit noisy on the weekend.

Plussat: A very pretty building in a quiet location.

Miinukset: Surprised to be met by a sign inside front door to remove footwear but understandable given the wooden floors. Disappointed that couldn’t make a tea or coffee in the room or even downstairs as no milk available. No choice of breakfast and not even any toast and butter. Turns out it was run by a Vegan woman. Toilet in our room was so cramped it would be unusable to a large person or anyone with mobility difficulties.

Plussat: House was immaculate with beautifully furnished lounges. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: It was very impersonal. We had to check ourselves in even though we arrived at 4pm. It was our first time in Ottawa and it would have been nice to have been welcomed to the city and given some information on the neighbourhood - there wereplenty of leaflets. Also the breakfast, included in the price was only served, at 8pm - ok for business people but not for holiday makers.

Plussat: Nice and clean

Plussat: The place is amazing, very cosy and clean and the location great, just 10mins walk to the centre. The breakfast entirely hand made (vegan and gluten free) was delicious. There is the possibility to park your car for free just in front of the house. The staff was very polite and helpful.

Miinukset: As constructive critics, the Wi-Fi in our room (the one near the kitchen) wasn't working because of the low signal constantly falling. We tried all the connections available but the only way to partially solve the problem was leaving the doors open. Another thing was the aircon, it was 13-14 degrees outside and the aircon was always on...for us it was just too cold and because of the central system it was impossibile to turn it off or to raise the temperature.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent and the lady preparing it very friendly

Miinukset: We paid EXTRA for the large deluxe room and this was definitely very disappointing. Our bedroom was small and did not have the bath. The kitchenette was at the entrance of the room and had not added value at all. Although it was supposed to be part of our room, the door could not be locked and it was being used by others (there was food in the fridge, garbage bin was full..) and most disturbing at all were the washing machine/dryer in our kitchenette with the NOT FOR GUEST USE sign on it, while it was clearly being used during our stay by someone else as there was laundry in both machines. Best NOT to pay the extra for the deluxe room

Plussat: Good Location nearby everything, clean rooms, comfy beds

Miinukset: Breakfast of the day was served for all guests, but with no choice. It changed every day. All guests of the morning could for example have eggs or pancakes, but they couldn’t do eggs for one person and pancakes for the other person. If you didn‘t like the breakfast of the day, the only alternative was porridge or just fruit. All tastes very good and was of good quality, but I wish they could have been a bit more flexible.

Plussat: Beautiful building and decor. Central for getting around Ottowa. Comfortable B&B

Miinukset: Breakfasts were good, but not flavorful.

Plussat: Very flexible and generous hosts. Irina was extremely accommodating for a number of last minute issues we had. The room was beautiful and the breakfast amazing and cooked on the spot by her.

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Most appealing was the late check-in and much appreciated pot of tea at 9:30pm. Breakfast was very good, location - I walked to town in under 20min.

Plussat: The host is gracious The location is excellent with free parking The rooms and amenities are fresh clean and pleasing

Plussat: Almost everything!

Miinukset: Our room did not have a bathroom.

Plussat: The building is beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Would have liked more toiletries available. My bed was a day bed and the top sheet would not stay put under the mattress.

Plussat: The place is very clean and the breakfast is too good. Hosts are very helpful.

Plussat: Friendly and a very good B&B that was a 30 minute walk to National Gallery of Canada and other locations where I had meetings. Really enjoyed breakfasy and meeting other guests.

Miinukset: Suggestion: Label room and front door keys - it was time consuming and frustrating figuring-out the correct key to open door.

Plussat: The location is excellent, with easy access to frequent busses. Across the street is the wonderful Natural History Museum. The owners quirky but welcoming and friendly, and accommodating.

Miinukset: Sorry to say this, but avoid the breakfast, which is minimal. Instant coffee and barely warm raisin bread do not prepare one for a morning's expedition to the sights of Ottawa. However, the Natural History Museum has an excellent cafeteria, which serves breakfast, is reasonably priced, and gorgeous!

Plussat: Omg I loved it here! Siri is so welcoming and the room was very clean and comfortable. The house is like an Aladdin’s cave and stuff everywhere so if you’re a minimalist, this is not the place for you. However, it was very much the place for us and despite the clutter, it is very clean. It is right opposite the museum and very central to pubs and restaurants. It was very reasonable cost for location and I would recommend it to anyone. We sat out in the back garden late evening in the warm, balmy weather and treated to toast and fruit for breakfast. I even got the most amazing massage in the SPA room as Siri is a qualified masseuse.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Hosts were charming and helpful. I felt very welcome and comfortable with them.

Miinukset: The bedroom temperature was quite cold which made it uncomfortable to sleep. Would have been nice to have more options for breakfast besides toast and cereal.

Plussat: Such wonderful hosts - Very helpful and accommodating. Conveniently close to freeway, but so quiet and peaceful. Walkable to shops, and Ottawa downtown.

Plussat: Breakfast was fine. Location was excellent.

Plussat: Nice couple running the B&B, very friendly

Miinukset: Not very clean, poor breakfast
