The room was basic but very clean. I've only met the owner once. He was friendly. The breakfast is usually served between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. I asked if it was possible to have breakfast earlier and they prepared and left a plate in the fridge every morning. I had a selection of fruit, yogurt and different pastries.

We had a great time. The place was conveniently close to Ottawa city center, has easy off-street parking right on the property, nice and clean place, very nice accommodations, and excellent host. She prepared a delicious and healthy breakfast for us, and we had a great time chatting with the host and the guests. It was a memorable first time bread and breakfast experience for me and my wife.

Wonderful location & hosts!
Our stay at Le Philemon was wonderful! The location was very convenient and the hotel was spotless. Anika was an gracious hostess and a talented cook preparing a delicious full breakfast each day and made us feel at home. She also gave us precise directions and suggestions for bike paths. We would definitely stay at Le Philemon again and recommend it to our family & friends. Pat & Dennis

Cleanliness issues
First time I tries bed abd breakfast, and I will never try it again. As soon as I open the door, the room was smelling too bad (urine type of smell). The bed sheets, the towels, everything were smelly.

Honesty issues ? We work hard to keep this B&b pleasant and clean, and the majority of our reviews support that. Although we did notice a couple episodes were we could detect a sewage like smell lately, it was basically caused by the city doing nearby sewage work, and it was easily rid off of by letting the water circulate a minute in the washroom. we agree it could be unpleasant at first and would've been happy to help, but on the other hand, not only did you never reported that issue during the whole length of your stay, the only complain you voiced was that the room was cold while leaving the windows open on near 0 degrees nights and asking if the a/c unit was the heating source. We have a hard time understanding your need for that review while not even addressing the issue... We try to accommodate the best we can, as long as we know..

My wife and I have spent one night at this B&B at the end of September.. It has excellent location just 5 min drive from beautiful Cathedral Basilica and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Walking distance to various restaurants and supermarkets. Rooms are modern,clean and comfortable.Parking on the property. Tasty breakfast-waffles with fresh fruits and whipped cream ,coffee,tea ,juice is prepared by owner. The atmosphere is very friendly and personal.We felt as he welcomed us to his own home. It is a small thought nice and clean place with very warm hospitality in every aspect of stay.

Great spot. Close to downtown Ottawa. Clean, friendly atmosphere. Yummy breakfast and we had two extra people stay with us, and it was no problem. We paid the fee for the extra breakfasts and she made up a room for them! Overall very lovely stay. Would definitely go back!

Great stay overall! Breakfast really makes it.
Pros: -Amazing French breakfasts were made for three mornings: 1. Crepes with Fruit bowl and Quiche (100% real maple syrup) 2. Large waffle with Fruit and whipped cream 3. English muffin, Egg & Ham (with Fruit & Yogurt Granola Parfait) -Hotel about 4 minutes to downtown Ottawa -The few parking spaces was enough for us (I think there were 3 off street spots). -Modern renovation and style. Cons: -One MILD complaint with our room was that the air conditioner unit was quite loud (loud enough to wake my wife). We then opted to pre-cool the room in the evening so that we could turn it off over night. -The room's TV (or stand) could be elevated (the tv stand is about even with the bed mattress).

The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The hotel is in good condition. It's not a typical hotel chain so there is no front desk. Late check-in is possible tho. Breakfast was fresh and great but no options.

Cute B&B, close to Ottawa. The owners are amazing and friendly, fully bilingual. Rooms were clean and well equipped with the necessities. Excellent breakfast all three mornings. The owners are not in the building, but live close-by and are always available. If we're ever going back to the capital region, this is where we'll stay for sure!

Clean, wonderful hospitality, gourmet breakfast!
Le Philemon was a terrific choice for us. Our hosts were wonderful! The location in Gatineau was perfect. The bus is a half block away and only a short ride to the main attractions in Ottawa and Gatineau (several museums, Byward Market, Parliament, shopping and great food) Le Philemon is very clean and modern. We would definitely stay again!

Family run cozy hotel.
It's small but cozy, the hostess and host are very nice. We checked in late due to visit to 1000 island, the hostess left the keys of our rooms in the door and let us sleep first without checking in and pay later. One room added a crib because I mentioned we have one kid. The room are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is enough to most of people. Check out is easy too.

Great Place to Stay
The owners were great. Very friendly and accommodating. Top notch. Couldn't ask for better. I was working strange hours where I slept during the day. Owners would leave me breakfast in the fridge as I ate it outside of regular breakfast hours. Room was clean and quiet. I would stay there again.
