Sonder Ottawa a Must for Us!
Great location downtown Ottawa, very comfortable suite, great bed and amenities in the unit. Kitchen was well equipped too. Loved that we could walk to Parliament Hill, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa Art Gallery, even in the snow! Lots of pubs and restaurants nearby. 2nd time staying at 2 different Sonders, will be back!

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

6 week stay review
To put it into perspective I stayed for a total of 6 and a half weeks at this property. This was due to a university placement being in the city. So I think it’s fair that I can give a pretty good review. Firstly I want to say thank you to the staff that were there they were very hospitable and dealt with any concerns that I had or issues throughout my stay. However it wasn’t all perfect. Firstly they had to enter my room twice during my first week due to it being the only way to access the heaters on the roof and one time I was still in bed and they came in! They were very apologetic and compensated me for it. The next day I lost power so they then had to move me to a different room which was fine, but then 2 weeks later they then had to move me again and downgrade me to a room due to the room I was in having being booked up! I was very frustrated with this but again the staff on hand did refund the difference between the rooms. Another gripe I had was how poorly the kitchen was kitted out, it was strange it had 4 of every type of cutlery and utensil but didn’t have a simple thing like a frying pan or baking tray! Did seem a little odd to me and ended up with me going to buy one from Walmart, again not the end of the world for a short stay but for someone like me was very annoying. However overall the apartment was nicely furnished, even though it was cheaply done with floorboards not matching up correctly etc it was good for being on a budget as a student!

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.

Solid choice
Stayed here in January. Nice central spot downtown. On a quieter street in the financial area just steps from parliament. Not many immediate restaurants/variety stores nearby to stock up - some coffee shops

8/10 Very good

Happy enough
Very Clean and well stocked. Issues with the TV were a pain. You can't just turn it on and get access to programming. You need to cycle through the HDMI inputs to make it work. Even after the IT dept came to my room and said they had fixed it I still had to do it after they left. This issue needs to be fixed asap as most people don't understand how to get this to happen. I also got locked in the parking garage when my door code stopped working. There is no number to call so luckily i was communicating via text and they gave me a new code. There is no emergency exit which is disturbing. The staff were excellent though.

Highly recommend
We really enjoyed our stay at Sonder Arlo. It’s very well located, close to restaurants, bars, shops and sights. The apartment was spacious, quiet, clean and beautifully furnished. Having a kitchen was very nice, even for a short stay. Easy, contactless check in and out using the Sonder app. We requested an extra blanket at the front desk, the staff was so nice and promptly sent someone with a blanket. The apartment heating could have been better and we thought some basic things like body lotion, additional hooks for winter coats and towels were lacking, but overall it was excellent. Next time if during winter, I’d request that they heat the room before arrival and include slippers. We really appreciated getting a free upgrade prior to arrival and I’d definitely stay here again.
