Auberge ottawa

Super Pres du parlement Pres du MBA Rue tranquille. Stationnement fds meme ds la rue

Beautiful old inn

I would definitely stay here again! Staff were friendly and helpful and the old house was incredibly beautiful. Great location, close to downtown, Parliment buildings, Rideau Canal and Byward Market

Una casa piena di storia

Abbiamo molto apprezzato la notte passata in questa casa, il salotto che racconta la storia della famiglia McGee dalla metà dell''800. Unico neo, il bagno appena fuori dalla nostra stanza, ma cmq di nostro uso esclusivo

super nice

The employees were super kind, rooms were super clean, breakfast were amazing, and amazing location. Jus lil expensive.

Felt at home in midst of Ottawa

Lovely bed and breakfast. Room was comfortable, clean and nicely appointed. Family-run B&B made you feel right at home and welcome. Breakfasts were perfectly cooked and beautifully served in the Victorian-era sitting room and dining room. Location is very close to the University of Ottawa, downtown business section, Parliament, Rideau Centre with its shops and restaurants and many other sights.

nice, private, quiet and quaint

perfect place for an overnight business stay. Warm, welcoming and well-run

I stayed at this B&B in 2004 whilst in Ottawa for a night and really enjoyed my stay. The owners were friendly, helpful and accomodating. Rooms each had their unique charm. They have a great jacuzzi suite, which I could recommend for a romantic getaway. The breakfast was well-prepared and included many options, which were all delicious. Rooms were all clean, charming and beds were comfortable.... more

Good stay and close to all of our needs

My daughter and I stayed here for two nights and were very comfortable. We had a suite where we had our own little private corners and our own tvs! We walked to and saw the House of Parlament and Canada Gallery. The folks at the Mcgee make it and easy place to come and go from. I think the breakfast... more

Just like a doll house

I stayed in room 22, and absolutely enjoyed my time. The space was clean and comfortable, and I felt like everything was decorated just like the doll house of my childhood dreams.
Located within walking distance of downtown and the Parliament buildings, McGee's was the perfect place to finish off my trip to Ottawa.
The owners provided lovely coffees and... more

Ideal location... Friendly helpful hosts... Great value

We stayed for two nights in room 18 which came with a private large balcony. The room was not overly large but decorated well and in keeping with this historic Victorian home. We treated ourselves to breakfast in our room one morning and had our breakfast-in-bed trays brought uup with a wonderful filling breakfast. The location is central and a... more

Sub-par

I attended this bed and breakfast in early February and there's a few things I noticed about the hosts prior to even arriving. Firstly, they are unorganized. I booked my room through bed and breakfast.com several days prior but never got a confirmation. When I emailed the owners to clarify the details of the room, I did not get a... more

Splendid

Had a splendid two night stay with my daughter. Loved the staff and owners. Great location near Bytowne with it's great selection of restaurants. We were also able to walk to the National Gallery and House of Parlement. Good coffee and a broad selection of breakfast items and choices. I will stay there on my next visit to Ottawa.

What a great place

This place was absolutely fantastic. We were greeted by Jason, who was friendly and welcoming. He showed us to the room with the outside entrance, and it was awesome. Nice big clean room with comfy furniture and bed. Decorated very modernly. There was a fireplace thing, not a wood burning one, and it gave the room a really nice cozy... more

We stayed there over Canada Day yet again. I can't say enough good things. The room was fantastic, the Inn is very close to Parliament Hill and the Market, and the food was good. They even had a band playing outside until 2am that was as good if not better than any of the bands on Parliament Hill.

I booked my stay for the wrong, day, and I called them up on the day that I booked, (the wrong day) and asked to change the date. They looked up the date I wanted to stay, and they were able to make the change, and I WAS NOT CHARGED EXTRA!!! :)

I was very happy with the room and everything was clean. The location is very close to the market, and we were able to park and walk to dinner and... more

A touch of home while in town for business

Recently stayed at the McGee Inn for 3 nights while in Ottawa for a conference. The inn was a easy 10 minute walk to the conference centre, which was a lovely way to start and end the day.
I paid half as much for my room and breakfast as many of my conference colleagues paid for their rooms along... terrific... more

Great old Inn

Gracious hosts and excellent staff. Breakfast was great (the wonderful young ladies can take your order in English or French). Interesting a nicely decorated historic inn. Easy walk to the Byward market (tons of shops and restaurants) and the Parliament area.

Stayed in the garage room

Did not understand when I booked that this room was apart from the Inn only that it had a separate entrance. Missed out on all the charm of this historical building as it was raining the night we stayed and didn't feel like going outside to go into the common area of the Inn. This room is decorated in a... more

Lovely Victorian Home

We stayed in the John McGee room and loved the myriad of nick nacks (like Old Camera's and designer plates, etc..) that are not only located in the room but throughout the B&B. This would appear to us to be a sign of a very caring owner who likes the B&B to look like a home and not just your... more

Quiet Residential Neighborhood

Beautiful property, about a 30 minute walk for us from Parliament, but you pass the Byward market and downtown on the way. Excellent breakfast service with delicious hot choices. Daytime staff is not very attentive or knowledgeable about tourist questions. No restaurants in the immediate area. Parking lot.

Home away from home

For the visitor to Ottawa who prefers to stay in B&Bs, centrally located McGee’s Inn has to be first choice. This charming three story Victorian building (try to get room 24 which has recently been remodeled and has its own private entrance) has the touches everywhere of a collector owner (including many old cameras, rotary telephones and a player piano)... more

would recommend this B&B

I had read the reviews and had enthusiastically booked a room, especially since I was given a discount by the owner seeing that I was staying 2 weeks. Just before going, I looked again at the reviews and got a bit scared by some, especially since I was staying in room 23, which was said to be unpleasant near the... more

Disappointing / No Bathroom Ventilation / No Room Service / Noise Disturbances / Impolite Staff

We stayed at the Auberge McGees Inn at 185 Daly Ave. in Ottawa last month hoping for a romantic getaway but we were not impressed for the following reasons:
1). The Room we were in (#19) has no ventilation whatsoever in the bathroom. All bathrooms in Ontario are supposed to be properly ventilated with an exhaust fan (by Law). When... more

Wonderfully located B&B with restaurant service

Our group of 6 stayed for 2 nights in rooms 17 and 18, which suited us perfectly. Room 18 has a great private balcony which was perfect to unwind with a bottle of wine after plenty of walking around the city and bike riding along the canal. Room 17 (Family Room) was just great for 2 adults and our 2... more

Great location- friendly staff

Stayed in Room #24, very nice room with it's own private entrance. Nicely decorated, comfortable bed and a very nice ensuite bathroom (shower only). Breakfast was very good with excelent variety and choice. All this and withing walking distance of the Market, Parliament Hill, Elgin St. and Museums, and oh did I mention free parking!

Great Facilities lovely rooms

Stayed here for two nights in June. Booking in was very easy. The room was absolutely lovely with all a girl could need for a few nights on the road. The personal touches in a ladies view where all you needed. The lounge/dining room has some lovely antiques, I even found the Balloon Lady which was the same as the... more

Great inn

Just returned from 2 nights. Beautiful B&B - Victorian style & decor - Lots of antiques - Hosts & staff very friendly & accomadating. Our room (McGee room ) was spacious & beautifully appointed. - everything was tastefull & spotless. Located on a quiet street within walking distance of all the major attractions
Breakfasts were excellent & artfully pres.ented- service... more

Traditional B&B in the heart of Ottawa

We were stayed at McGee's during a visit to the university. It's a very comfortable B&B in a great location for seeing the market, the university, Rideau centre and the canal, all within walking distance. The hosts and their employees were extremely kind and helpful. The room (Victorian Roses, #20) was great, very large with a jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was... more

Great Night in Ottawa

We stayed in Room 18. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was attentive and helpful; in fact one of the employees sat down with us and explained how to get around the city when we arrived. We found the b&b to be in a perfect location. We walked to Byward Market, Parliament, Dinner, etc. Our room had... more

The Perfect Getaway

We stayed in the Victorian Roses Suite, complete with large jacuzzi tub, fireplace & very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, parking is free & a short walk to downtown Ottawa. Very friendly service; we will certainly return.

An elegant victorian mansion with friendly and efficient modern service

My wife and I are on our way home from two wonderful nights at the McGee's Inn. We had an amazing time staying in the Victorian Roses Suite, which featured an in room fireplace with complimentary firelogs nightly, and a massive jacuzzi tub. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, and the free breakfasts were of a top notch... more

very nice

This is a very nice bed and breakfast. The room was clean, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was good. Close to downtown, and on a quiet street. Would stay here again!

Why stay in a hotel when you can stay at McGee's

McGee's is a B&B a couple of blocks from the Byward neighborhood. It's a nicely furnished old house with FREE PARKING, located in a residential area. There's a nice sitting area out front with a garden and fountain, a computer so you can check in for your flight or find a great restaurant. My room was well furnished, with a... more

One Thing After Another

Right from the minute I walked in, it was terrible! No one around to meet and greet, felt like I was a bother to the employees and owner. No hello, welcome, smiles or common pleasantries. Very snobbish attitudes. As soon as I saw someone, I was asked to change my room and that the room I was to be transferred... more

Very nice place

The McGee's Inn is in walking distance from downtown Ottawa. It is in a very beautiful, well maintained old building in a quiet street. Our room was very nice, and so were the owners. Breakfast was excellent, and one could spend the whole day in this nicely decorated house. The only drawback is the fact that one cannot really open... more

nice and clean B&B

very nice and clean, good location, little bit overpriced, you can easily find a very good hotel for this money, but for B&B lovers – it’s a nice place. Lots of parking, 10 min walking to main attractions. Full and very delicious breakfast, cooked by your order.
make sure you don't take small kids ;-)

Great place and great food

I stayed for one night (in August) since it was close to my apartment, which I had just moved out. I needed a place within walking distance and had good and decent reviews. I did research the inn on Tripadvisor beforehand and thought this inn suited my needs. Registration online was easy and response time was quick. I even got... more

Great Bed and Breakfast in Ottawa

In October of 2010 I was on business in Ottawa and stayed at McGee's. My husband, daughter, and my mother were also along for the trip. This is our second stay at MGee's and it was much nicer this time around. The place has since been renovated and it is much improved compared to the last stay 10 years ago... more

Clean and spacious rooms within walking distance to downtown and the market

This is a very established downtown B & B. It's owners are very professional and run the place almost like a hotel. Breakfast is served in a dining room with lots of tables and tourists from around the world. There seems to be a small contingent of business travellers like myself. The rooms are clean and comfortable. McGee's Inn is... more

Favorite B & B

McGee's is a beautiful big bed and breakfast with lush accommodations. Our room was lovely and we had a screened in porch as well. Breakfast was delicious with Eggs Benedict and crepes and omelets. They made a tray of tea and coffee for us in the morning that we could take up to our balcony and enjoy before breakfast. The... more

Home away from Home

We have stayed at McGees Inn for a weekend in February every year since 2006. Ottawa has become our second home and McGees Inn too. The Armstrongs are gracious hosts. They and their staff take great care of their guests. They have always been willing to accommodate any request. The breakfast is great and so are the rooms. we can... more

Outstanding hospitality

Our home away from home! We visit Mcgees each and every year and are never dissapointed ... only when it comes time to leave.
Comfy, clean rooms, great decor, attention to every detail! Food outstanding.
Look forward to returning!

Treated like royalty

Great Victorian house with beautiful antiques, wonderful rooms, comfortable beds, & ensuite bathroom. We even had our own balcony. Judy's breakfasts were amazing (eggs benedict, goat cheese & sun-dried tomato omelette, cream cheese & blueberry crepes), coffee was good & strong. Staff was attentive & friendly. The whole team gave good advice regarding sightseeing. And to top it all off,... more

Elegant old house - great service

This delightful B&B is very well located only a 7 minute walk from downtown, with a bistro type restaurant and public transport a 3 minute walk. The hosts were very helpful, and the gourmet breakfasts were great. Our room was lovely though cluttered with knick-knack ornaments & pillows on the sofa, which required moving for us to put both suitcases... more

Not recommended for business travellers

I specifically booked a B&B so I could eat breakfast and start my very busy day. I found out at check-in that breakfast was at 8am or 9am. I needed to eat at 7:30am and be on the road at 8am. I was not accommdated and I was definitely not impressed.
The street is nosy and I barely got any... more

Pleasant stay

My partner and I stayed at McGee's Inn during our last getaway to Ottawa. The location was ideal - a five minute walk to the downtown core. First impressions when we walked in - the place was very welcoming and clean - typical Victorian B+B. We stayed in room 14 - just enough room for two with fuzzy robes, a... more

A Remarkable Place to Stay

We stayed in the "John McGee" room. The hard wood flooring, fireplace and antique mantel and mirror made the room so warm and inviting. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was recently redone and was lovely. Plenty of hot water for showering no matter the time of day. Great location near to downtown. Easy walking to the major tourist... more

A first rate bed & breakfast

My family and I recently stayed at McGees Inn and enjoyed it very much. The house itself is beautiful, the room was large and comfortable; and all the rooms had a private bathroom. We found the owners very friendly and extremely helpful with what we needed for the children. The breakfast was very good with a variety of choices from... more

Excellent value for money

Well positioned for downtown attractions. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Historical building with many interesting artifacts which added interest to the stay. Good off road parking and free internet access was a major bonus.

Loved this place! Best place to stay in Ottawa

My husband and I and our families stayed here for our wedding. We wanted something conveniently located but still romantic and special. We got everything we wanted and so much more.
First: breakfast. I was in danger of not fitting into my wedding dress - the food was SO good. Everyone kept saying how good the breakfast was, and the... more

Beautiful historic inn - great place for weddings

This was a spectacular stay. My bride and I stayed at McGee's with our two families for 2-3 days. The rooms exceeded our expectations and this inn was close to everything. The breakfast was delicious and everyone liked the eggs benedict. The staff was friendly and very accommodating to our requests. We got some great photos during the preparations for... more

A Romantic Step Into the Past

On Saturday, Hubby and I left behind the noise and grit of our city to head off to the noise and grit of another city. We were celebrating belatedly our wedding anniversary, and I had the brilliant thought that it would be so romantic to stay in a bed and breakfast overnight. Taking the advice of someone who had stayed... more

very disappointed

it was our 1st wedding anniversary. we were not sure whether to go to the swiss inn again ( we loved it in the forest king room) or try mcgees. we chose to try mcgee's. which i think was about $40 cheaper.
we stayed in the egyptian room.on the site it claims to have a double jacuzzi, but my husband... more

Excellent service

We have been to Ottawa several times but this is the first time my wife, my son 26 and I have ever stayed at a B. & B. Some of the criticisms that I have read here are a bit of a stretch to say the least.
My wife and I are both over 60 and my son is disabled... more

Good value

I enjoyed my stay at McGee's. I've stayed in at least 5 other Ottawa B&Bs since I travel here once/year on business. Once in Ottawa, I travel on foot, so I'm looking for a safe and convenient location. The staff was friendly, but more hands-off than most B&Bs, but I appreciated this when on a business trip. The breakfasts were... more

Terrible attitude

The inn itself from the outside looks like Norman Bates house .. and there is not adequate parking for the number of rooms ... we ended up parking on the street a block away.
Once inside, much of the decor is a little creepy ... like someone trying to recreate a victorian atmosphere from bad Sherlock Holmes movies.
The rooms... more

Nice Place to Stay

We enjoyed our stay at McGee's inn. The room was very clean and the king-size bed comfortable. Bathrobes and toiletries were supplied. Eggs, crepes, muffins, cereals, juice, fresh fruit salad and tea or coffee were offered for breakfast. The inn is well located. We walked to the By market and the downtown stores. The owners are friendly without being intrusive.... more

The nicest Inn I have ever stayed at

I was looking for somewhere to stay during the Canada Day celebrations and discovered a true gem. The staff were so helpful, telling me where I should go and what to see, and they even took took me with them to their favourite spot to watch the fireworks. Breakfast the next morning was awesome! I can't say enough nice things... more

Nice period home, comfortable furnishing,ample breakfasts

We had a nice stay at McGee's. We arrived very early, but were treated to a lovely breakfast. Our room, McGee's, was medium/large, about 150 -180 sq ft., with a firm but comfortable queen bed, a lovely original fireplace, and period-style, if not actually antique, furnishings,including a desk and sofa and many lamps. The bathroom was nicely done, but very... more
