The Don Club met all of my expectations, set on a quiet street close to tourist areas and fun neighbourhoods. I appreciate the philosophy, rooms are comfortable but the owners want you to go off a see the city. And bonus, fantastic small plate restaurant next door and excellent Italian restaurant right across the street.

Cozy and clean place with an amazing breakfast (thanks to the wonderful lady behind it, Nadia!) And of course the owner, Elodie, was such a wonderful and friendly host and took the time to sit with us every day to help us plan our activities for the day. We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely B&B and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay in Ottawa.

This B&B was an absolute delight. It’s an older home that has been beautifully renovated, and it truly feels like something out of a little storybook. Everything was spotless and so fresh-looking, with a crisp white exterior and navy trim that gives it a peaceful, welcoming feel. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and tastefully decorated in a simple, elegant style—nothing overdone, just perfectly done. You can tell a lot of care has gone into every detail. It felt both homey and boutique at the same time. The breakfast was absolutely delicious—cooked to order and the perfect way to start the day. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into it. We felt completely relaxed from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for a charming, peaceful, and beautifully maintained place to stay, this B&B is a gem. Highly recommend!

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.
