The Century House Bed and Breakfast Ottawa

The Century House Bed and Breakfast Ottawa Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Century House Bed and Breakfast Ottawa on Stewart Street, you immediately get that “hidden gem” feeling. This three-star property sits in what locals know is one of the best neighborhoods in Ottawa — honestly, the location score of 9.5 isn’t just marketing fluff. The building itself has this welcoming, residential charm that makes you feel like you’re staying at a well-traveled friend’s place rather than just another hotel. The intimate setting creates an atmosphere of genuine hospitality that distinguishes this bed and breakfast from larger chain establishments.

The Perfect Ottawa Base

Here’s what makes this spot exceptional — you’re actually in the heart of things without the tourist trap chaos. Stewart Street puts you right where couples want to be, and they consistently rate the location 9.5 for romantic getaways. You can walk to the ByWard Market, the Rideau Canal is practically around the corner, and Parliament Hill is close enough that you’ll find yourself strolling over without even planning it. The neighborhood has that perfect mix of local cafes and actual Ottawa life happening around you. This central positioning makes exploring the city effortless and enjoyable.

Sleep Quality That Actually Matters

You know what’s rare? A bed and breakfast where the beds actually live up to the hype. The Century House gets consistently high marks for sleep quality, and after staying there, it’s easy to understand why. The room I had was thoughtfully set up — not fancy, but everything worked perfectly. The beds are genuinely comfortable, and the whole place has this quiet, restful atmosphere that makes you want to sleep in. The attention to comfort and tranquility sets this property apart from typical accommodations.

Breakfast and Practical Perks

The American-style breakfast hits the spot — hearty, well-prepared, and served at a pace that doesn’t rush you out the door. It’s the kind of meal that actually fuels your day of exploring rather than just checking a box. What really impressed me though was the free parking right on site. If you’ve ever tried to park in downtown Ottawa, you’ll know this is basically gold. No circling blocks, no feeding meters every two hours — just park and forget about it. These practical amenities demonstrate genuine consideration for guest needs.

Why Guests Love It

The Century House works because it nails the fundamentals without trying to be something it’s not. The 9.3 rating reflects what you actually experience — a clean, comfortable place to stay with genuinely helpful hosts in a location that puts Ottawa’s best within walking distance. You get personal attention, local insights from the owners, and that relaxed bed and breakfast atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special rather than just booked another room. This authentic approach to hospitality creates memorable stays for visitors seeking genuine connection and comfort.
