I have lost track of the number of times I've stayed at Ambiance! It is my first choice for accommodation whenever I'm in Ottawa. I will go back, and unhesitatingly recommend it to anyone. The location is excellent: right downtown, a few blocks from Parliament Hill, walking distance from tourist and cultural attractions, restaurants, etc.

This is an excellent stay. Maria is very welcoming and organized. She was also helpful in directions. The reservation/check-in/check-out processes are very simple. She has a great, well-maintained, clean house. I will definitely return for stays when visiting downtown Ottawa again.

My spouse and I recently stayed with Maria for our romantic weekend escape. Breakfasts and conversations were fulfilling, our stay was comfortable, and the accommodations were clean and attractive. I will absolutely stay at Ambiance on my next trip to Ottawa!

I travelled to Ottawa to undertake training and found the B&B to be very near where I was taking the course. And what a find!
