A heritage house with all the heritage house charms. And the Manx Pub a minute away. A delightful find of Ontario beers and lamb curry, and many vegetarian options. A lovely spot, clean, convenient, and charming. I’ll stay again.

Exactly as advertised. Nice older house with a lot of charm. Many restaurants around the corner.
Duncan, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

There was no functioning wifi and no hot water despite running the tap for minutes on end. The building is an old house made into an inn. The tv was tiny and had only a few cable channels with Nothing I wanted to watch. I paid $200 per night plus taxes for this!! $100 per night would have been a stretch. And “breakfast” was minimal and cost $2 - I skipped that. How is this listed as a “three star” accommodation?????? I am very disappointed.
Jacqueline, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

With in a busy neighborhood experience quite environment. Very clean and friendly service
Lensa Simesso, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Ashlee, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Ariane, 6-night trip

10/10 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 :)
