It was a quiet building and it was only a few minute walk to Rideau centre and parliament building. Close to public transit if you want to go elsewhere. Overall I thought the experience was fantastic.

Great experience with the self-check in and phone access for the room once I got things set up. Individual at the front desk didn’t acknowledge us as we came in carrying bags, but I was able to figure things out from the app and let them continue their phone call. Room was nice, just what I was expecting. Traffic noise is present but understandable given it is right on Albert. They’ll even throw in earplugs if you need them.

Excellent location, outdated space

The staff was lovely, and the location is unbeatable. The property is certainly dated and in need of some basic repairs, like repairing gaps in flooring. The first room I was assigned was not clean, though the staff fixed it immediately and relocated me.

The hot water took 10 minutes to work on the 12th floor. Usually, hot water isn't an issue at the Sonder Arlo. It might be due to the water reaching the top floor. I would stay there again despite the issue.
