Happy we stayed
Clean, great area, modern unit. Only issue is parking is a bit far, like a 5 minute walk. Best price parking was City Hall on weekends at least.

Compact space, well-located
A compact but well-appointed room and comfortable stay at a really central location. It was a little small for 2 people but worked fine for one. No desk/workchair but the mini dining area was a reasonable alternative. Wifi was good and the price was very reasonable.

Sonder Ottawa a Must for Us!
Great location downtown Ottawa, very comfortable suite, great bed and amenities in the unit. Kitchen was well equipped too. Loved that we could walk to Parliament Hill, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa Art Gallery, even in the snow! Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. 2nd time staying at 2 different Sonders, will be back!

Comfy, central and easy
Highly recommend the sonder for anyone from family trips to business. It's easy to check in, rooms are spacious and come with a kitchenette, the luggage storage is super helpful and really quick. Not a lot of building amenities but for the price it's a great stay.

Love this gem in the heart of downtown Ottawa
Really close to everything! Walk to Byward, parliament and restaurants. Hotel has a coffee maker, kettle, pots and pans so you can save some money on a few meals and eat in at the hotel.

Solid choice
Stayed here in January. Nice central spot downtown. On a quieter street in the financial area just steps from parliament. Not many immediate restaurants/variety stores nearby to stock up - some coffee shops

Very comfortable and convenient
Went for weekend skate on the canal and the location was perfect. Room is very basic but well equipped and comfortable. The desk attendees were very helpful even though it’s mainly a self serve concept. Wanted to watch some curling on TSN but streaming service did not work. Downtown very quiet on weekends but lots of options within 15 minute walk.
