Really enjoyed my stay, it is a great location. I enjoyed the ease of check in and getting in the rooms. My room wasn’t the cleanest, but I wasn’t spending a lot of time in the room so it wasn’t an issue. The bedroom doesn’t have a tv, so if that’s important to you, don’t pick the one bedroom! The staff I interacted with were wonderful. Would stay again!

Sonder Rideau is in a great location that is walkable to major attractions and other areas. The property has great customer service and felt safe with their numerical pin system instead of tangible keys. Rooms were wonderfully sized with a kitchenette, fridge and other amenities. Download the user friendly App with all the info you need with features readily accessible. I highly recommend and look forward to staying here in the future! Thank you again for the wonderful stay!

There was ambient noise, most notable in the second bedroom which was disturbing to those staying in that room. Perhaps it was from construction nearby??

My daughter and I stayed two nights. The room was fantastic, and the bed was super comfy! The front desk staff was very friendly, and helpful. The only thing was that the doors and elevators were very dirty. I really would recommend this hotel overall.

This property was good value for money with a separate bedroom from the lounge, kitchen and dining table. There are plenty of shelves and hanging space. You can walk to the area where the market and restaurants are.

Although the hotel is great (location + facilities + clean), the first day I slept there I was freezing. The rooms only work on AC or Heating/Furnace but not both. The day I arrived was warm but there was a temperature drop at night and as much as I was cranking up the thermostat in the room, nothing was happening. Next day I found an employee and gave me a portable heater. Note: this issue is usual in hotels in Ottawa, not a condition only affecting Sonder. Additionally, I also didn't feel happy giving so much information to "persona" for the "virtual verification", but I guess this is the way we are going into the future. Not sure how old people or non tech savvy people would do with these type of hotel systems.
