Great stay in the capital

Good location close to parliament hill. Easy to grab food and coffee and felt safe. Staff at front were helpful when we needed more linens. Security on front door at night and pass codes for the elevators. Rooms are spacious and good for a family of four.

Perfect apartment when visiting Ottawa

Sonder is a wonderful place to stay during a visit to Ottawa. Clean and spacious apartments and nice staff! Supermarket and any take-out options very close by. Perfect location to everything you want to see in the city.

Great find for independent travellers

This is essentially a self serve apartment/hotel. We let ourself into our wonderfully clean studio. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with the usual plus paper towels, measuring spoons and veg peeler. Lots of towels, comfy bed. Slippy bathtub needs a mat.

Great Option - Central Ottawa

Great option for a family in the center of Ottawa! For those of you not familiar with Sonder, it is a self serve hotel concept (think AirBnB hotel) that typically offers larger rooms with a kitchenette. We have found that Sonder is a great option when traveling as a family. The rooms was clean, comfortable and convenient.

It was great. I truly did not expect what was there. Sometimes pictures can fool you, but not in this case it was as advertised. We enjoyed our stay throughly

The place is clean and spacious. Great location. Check in and check out is convenient. However, the fan is quite loud.

Amazing place to stay with Great location
Kaila, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was big and spacious, king size bed was super comfy and the location was downtown close to everything. Laundry facilities on each floor was amazing as we’d been away travelling for a bit. My boys really enjoyed the games room (basketball and ping pong) and the exercise room was well equipped. The only issue we had was with the hide-a-bed. No padding and you felt every spring. Will definitely stay here again when we return.

Great Stay in downtown Ottawa

Great stay within easy walking distance of the Jazz festival, tour of Parliament buildings, Rideau canal locks, and the Market. The service of the evening reception staff was helpful as we navigated the online check-in process. Booking at the last minute made the online check-in more challenging.
Michelle, 2-night trip

Great experience all around!
Jayden, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Sonder Rideau is the perfect home away from home travel stays in the downtown core. Close to transit, the Rideau centre and Sparks street, it has a lot to offer.
