A beautiful, classic (but well-maintained) house located close to downtown, but off the busy thoroughfares. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfasts were superb - nice way to start the day after long flights (and conference talks). The proprieters were very friendly. I'd highly recommend it. more

My work makes it necessary to travel extensively to different countries and as such I stay at appropriate large hotels . These all have the usual comforts but are generally only differentiated by location. All services are similar as is décor etc. So when I had to travel to Ottawa recently , I decided , on the advice of a... more

Ottawa is an historic Canadian city. To see the sights...Parliament House, Art Museum, War Museum, Museum of Civilization, the Alexander House is a prime location. Situated on a quiet street minutes by bus, car or even foot from downtown, Alexander House is a well-appointed comfortable "antique." Large rooms with cozy comforters look out over mature trees festooned with birds and... more

Alexander house B&B, in a nice quiet, historic neighbourhood is an easy 15-30 minute walking distance to the major downtown cultural attractions, restaurants, and shopping that we visited. We arrived to a warm welcome, made even more enjoyable by the wood fire when we arrived. The original oak woodwork and floors of this elegant home made us feel very relaxed... more

The Alexander House is conveniently located near downtown Ottawa and is only a half hour walk from the Byward Market. We largely enjoyed our stay, but would like to warn future travellers that there are a few outstanding issues that were problematic for us. The Pros of staying here were the convenience of making reservations and walking-distance to many attractions.... more

Had a fabulous stay for two weeks in June. The house itself is a lovely period home set in the tree lined area of Sandy Hill close to consular buildings and parks. Approximately a 10 minute walk to the University of Ottawa and downtown. The room was very comfortable and accomodating and the breakfasts were fabuluous. The owners were incredibly... more

At a minimum, we expect a comfortable bed at a B&B. The bed lacked a headboard, the mattress was uncomfortable, the room was small. No dresser, so an electric teapot sat on the floor. A mirror also sat on the floor rather than being hung on the wall. The bathroom (adjacent door in the hallway) had no electricity, so using... more
