Parliament, museums, and the canal are an easy walk away, and the main street that the inn sits off of (Elgin Street) is full of restaurants and shops so you don't have to go far for a bite to eat (we liked the Elgin Street Diner the best). The inn's breakfast is nice with lots of choices, (including Nutella!), and I liked that the front door is kept locked at all times. There are some drawbacks, like having to share a bathroom and sleeping on a mattress that was a little uncomfortable. I ended up bringing my own pillow since we drove quite a ways to get there, and I think my husband regretted not doing the same. The floors do squeak quite a bit, but I didn't mind this since I like staying in old houses with lots of character. And I was so tired from walking around all day that I conked out in about two minutes after getting back to the room. Overall, a great place to stay if you'll be out exploring all day and want an affordable and nearby place to crash at night.

Any decision to stay at the Rideau Inn should be based solely on the price and location. At a…read moreweekend rate of $70/night and an easy walk from Parliament Hill, the inn is an easy and affordable launch pad to view the city. The inn would be better characterized as a hostel. The downsides are the rooms are very close together. If you stay on the first or second levels, you will hear your neighbors creaking on the wooden floors overhead. The bed we stayed in was lumpy and in need of replacement. The sheets also had a warped feeling from being excessively washed (probably for several years). Part of our room was dusty/dirty, one of our two lights was not functioning properly and our clock was not set. There is a glass window above many room doors, which cause the bedrooms to be flooded with hallway light. Our suite was small, without sufficient space to store our belongings. Several rooms do not contain their own bathrooms. No toiletries will be provided. An attendant is not on-site for most of the day and the evening hours. The self-serve continental breakfast consists of cereal, fruit and croissants. If you are looking for a bargain in a good location, the Rideau Inn is it. However, if you are in search of a romantic bed and breakfast getaway, or a place for comfort and relaxation, you should look for other accommodation.

It was a nice modern suite with a kitchen, all modern appliances, pots and pens, utensils everything you could possibly need in a case you decide to stay in for a meal. It was very pretty, but also very homey. We used the garage, and had no problem with it. There is still some construction in the area and in front of the entrance, but we used the car to get in and out, so it didn't affect us at all.

I really enjoyed my stay at Soho Champagne! This hotel is inside a condo building, and rather than…read morejust having a room you have an entire suite including a full kitchen (stocked with any cookware you'd need) and a separate bedroom. The interior was nicely decorated, modern, bright, and quite spacious. There were many luxurious aspects to this place: Lagostina cookware, Aveda soaps/shampoos/conditioners, Smart TVs in the living room and bathroom, a rain shower head (plus a movable shower head if a rain shower isn't your thing), en-suite laundry, a movie room and gym (of course these were closed due to the pandemic), even a little balcony. The concierge wasn't in at the time of our arrival and check-in was seamless. Soho Champagne communicated with me prior to check-in to ensure all my questions were answered. Plus, this place is conveniently located near Little Italy and Chinatown. I wished that we were able to stay longer. There are 3 reasons that I knocked off a star. Before I get into these, I'll mention that I was given a number to call if I had any problems with the room, but I didn't think any of the problems were worth calling about. First, the remote to open the garage didn't work from inside the car (maybe low/no battery?) and I had to get out of the car each time to get the garage door to open. Second, upon check-in I took a shower and there were 2 long and noticeable hairs stuck to the wall of the shower. Finally, I could not for the life of me get the TV in the bedroom to work. For the price of the room, I'd expect a bit more attention to detail in these areas. All in all, we had an amazing time and would definitely stay at Soho Champagne again.

The neighborhood is run-down. The street is narrow and there appears to be no off-street parking…read more Their "free parking" is apparently on the street. We walked up to the main door. There is a numeric lock on the door - clearly the only way in is if you know the code. A sheet of paper is taped to the door window. On it is printed "Please Call" followed by two phone numbers. Those two phone numbers are crossed out and a third number is handwritten in. While we were figuring out what to do, an older, shabbily-dressed man came up to the door, punched a code into the lock, and opened the door. He allowed us in, then wandered down the hall, stopping only to speak to someone in a room farther down. The hallway is very narrow and the place felt like a halfway house. Based on the apparent size of the building, I could not see how the rooms could possibly be as nice as was advertised. Another person approached from down the hall. He did not introduce himself, but appeared to be the proprietor. He sat at a very small deck in a tiny nook off the hallway and brought out some paperwork for us to fill out. We did not feel safe at all. We apologized, cancelled, and left as quickly as we could to find another place to stay for the weekend. He charged me a $50 cancellation fee.

Upon walking to the door I was swarmed by unkept, older men. Just STARING at me from inside. I buzzed beforehand to check in and nothing happened other than being stared at.

Did I mention the office was completely empty. No safety. None. No thanks. I'm not paying or allowing my landlord to pay for me to stay in a place that is unsafe. Upon getting in my friend's vehicle I called the landlord of my place that was being fixed (waking him up) he was furious that I woke him thinking that it's just some regular bed and breakfast. I informed him I didn't feel safe while crying and had to tell him over and over again that there was no way I was going to allow a possible assault and lack of sleep due to fear over not having hot water. I told him I'd pay half the rent of a different place. A hotel. I was not interested in even hearing bed and breakfast. He complied. He got me an ensuite room on cooper. Even had a kitchen! He called me the next day saying they refused a refund. He told them that he sent his young female tenant there and was swarmed by creepy old men like a pack of wolves. So obviously she fled. Totally ripped him off. He said that I never stepped foot in the establishment. They said there were no refunds. Not even an apology or asked if I was okay. I never got the chance to see what the stitch is inside but I didn't feel like getting raped.
