Me and my wife enjoyed the stay very much. We met the owner she is very nice. The break first was simple but practical and prepared according to the order. The room is small but very comfortable. We liked the parking in the back of house and the location in the walking distance to parliament hill. I highly recommend it and would like to stay if we come again

Spent three nights at the Don House in Centretown. My room was cozy,bright and clean. Check in was easy and communication with the hosts was seamless. Had a wonderful sleep after a long journey. Breakfast, the next morning, was prepared for us and was fresh and tasty. The rainfall shower was a treat and well outfitted with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The towels were large and fluffy! The hosts were eager to please and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I will be back the next time I’m in Ottawa! Thank you.

The room and bathroom were a bit small, but overall cozy, comfortable, and clean. The area is quiet and within walking distance of the main attractions. Breakfast was included in the booking, although it wasn’t served during our stay on either day; instead, we were reimbursed (otherwise, a voucher would have been provided). We also made use of the kitchen for a few of our meals; board games and a TV are available too, making it easy to enjoy some relaxing time in the house.

Elodie ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin. Sie ist jederzeit für Rückfragen erreichbar gewesen und das von ihr frisch zubereitete Frühstück war hervorragend. Auch auf Unverträglichkeiten wurde Rücksicht genommen. Das Zimmer ist recht klein, aber wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Lage in Ottawa ist perfekt! Wir würden die Unterkunft jederzeit von Herzen weiterempfehlen.

I was a bit concerned when I walked into the room and the mattress was on a set of open springs. However, the bed was quite comfortable—my wife never even noticed the open springs. Room was not large, but the breakfast was very good, and the hosts were wonderful.
