What I did not like...the balcony shouldn't be listed as it is really not something you can use. It also does not face the street but instead a wall and window of another office building. Parking is a pain to navigate but thankfully, I did not drive while staying and used uber instead. On the other hand, the size of the unit was incredible and considering I would have paid the same amount at the Marriott only to get a fraction of the space felt like a huge win.

My family and I stayed here for a weekend. We loved how clean, modern and safe the hotel was. We had an one bedroom suite with a full kitchen which was perfect to cook breakfast and reheat take out. The hotel is minutes from Parliament, the Rideau Canal and ByWard Market. Highly recommended.

I love the room so spacious and very clean. The only recommendation is that the code you enter in the elevator and outside the main building doors is the same for the apartment. That can be issue especially since ppl see and they can access your room. Maybe change thwt part of checking

Excellent location, excellent facilities
The hotel is located in the heart of Ottawa, near all the major attractions (Parliament Hill, Rideau Canal etc). The staff is very courteous, friendly and helpful. The apartment was spotless, it contained all the necessary cooking ware, laundry, dishwasher etc. The only minor item is the parking which is not managed by the hotel, it is very tight and difficult to maneuver, especially for larger vehicles.

Was a great stay. Staff were friendly, facilities were clean. It’s quite a journey of rooms, hallways, levels and stairs to get from inside to outdoor pool, but that’s not really a complaint, just be aware it’s not as easy to access as they suggest it is. Over all we loved our stay.

We always stay here when we come to Ottawa to visit our daughters. We love the suites with kitchens. Beds are comfortable, linens luxurious. HVAC is pretty noisy but earplugs are provided. Parking garage is convenient but difficult to get in and out of, last few visits the exit door has been a challenge to open. Tim’s near the lobby is convenient.

Very roomy and spacious accommodations. Great for our family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Air conditioning was a bit noisy, but better than no air conditioning. It not the newest building, and that is likely why it's a bit noisy. Everything else was great though.

Our 3rd stay at this Sonder. Great location, easy parking under the building ($25/day w in/out) AND free EV charging (pls move your car when you finish charging!). 1301 was a terrific room w separate bdrm and generous space. Pull out was as comfortable as a pull out can be. Laundry not in this particular room but just down the hall (ask for soap at front desk). Had to ask for fresh towels which were delivered quickly. Bring your own moisturizer (no free one like most places) but shampoo etc in the shower. A nightlight to plug in would be helpful so you don’t have to wake up the whole room with the light. Easy walk to restaurants and about 13 min walk to Rideau Center and Byward Market.

Sonder stay
Very lovely. First time Sonder guest. Was not expecting much from the property. Probably due to all that is needed just to book. ( take photo front and back of drivers license. Also look at camera side to side. It was all a bit much frankly. So I wondered what the place would be like. My major complaint was in booking process) However, great big room. Kitchen items available. Tho small a well appointed bathroom. Long sofa and 2 other chairs so comfort in that. TV I could never figure out. Ruku or some such. I am not a technological guy. Next street is Elgin. Walk away from parliament buildings going south about 8 blocks and there are numerous restaurants of all types. Parliament buildings about 5-6 minute walk away. Central location. Would stay there again. Tho ‘ would need to steel myself for the booking process.

Very convenient
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sonder Rideau in Ottawa, and it was an exceptional experience. The hotel's location is incredibly convenient, being close to Parliament Hill, beautiful parks, trails, and a variety of shops. This made exploring the city a breeze and added great value to our stay. One of the standout features was the spacious room, which offered great value compared to a traditional hotel room. We particularly enjoyed having a full kitchen, which allowed us to prepare our own meals and feel right at home. The convenience and comfort overall was truly impressive. Overall, our stay at Sonder Rideau exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable, and well-equipped place to stay in Ottawa.
