Very comfortable and convenient

Went for weekend skate on the canal and the location was perfect. Room is very basic but well equipped and comfortable. The desk attendees were very helpful even though it’s mainly a self serve concept. Wanted to watch some curling on TSN but streaming service did not work. Downtown very quiet on weekends but lots of options within 15 minute walk.

Facile d’acces, propre, calme et confortable. Equipement adequat pour se faire de la nourriture. Pas de mauvaise surprise. Bien décoré et agencé. Au 12e, la pression de l’eau est plus faible alors il faut etre patient pour l’eau chaude

Checkin was online but easy. You have to submit a photo of your ID so you have to be comfortable with that. Luggage lockers are available if you arrive early or need to store for a bit before you head to airport,

Sonder Arlo has a great location, between the Downtown Core, Parliament, the National Arts Center, shopping at the Rideau Centre, and Byward Market. The walls are thin and the traffic from the street below can be heard, so it is not ideal for light sleepers.

Comfy, central and easy

Highly recommend the sonder for anyone from family trips to business. It's easy to check in, rooms are spacious and come with a kitchenette, the luggage storage is super helpful and really quick. Not a lot of building amenities but for the price it's a great stay.

Love this gem in the heart of downtown Ottawa

Really close to everything! Walk to Byward, parliament and restaurants. Hotel has a coffee maker, kettle, pots and pans so you can save some money on a few meals and eat in at the hotel.

Convenient location-close to Rideau canal for skating, Sparks St, Parliament bldgs, Byward market, etc. Clean and comfortable unit. Wobbly table was a little annoying. Constant fan noise from bathroom and heating unit was noisy. Earplugs were provided but ineffective. Inconvenient to not have on site parking Overall a nice place to stay
