The inn is in a good location for walking around. Unfortunately it needs a bit of maintenance updating. Our wall unit AC worked but had a funky smell. Breakfast was abundant. Lots of choices and the staff was eager to accommodate anyone with decaf or time constraints. Friendly and helpful staff and adequate parking on site.

Family of four with two young kids under 5. It’s not the cute BnB experience we were hoping for. It’s clean and basic. Does the trick for a sleep. It’s a glorified motel and that’s not necessarily a bad thing just not what we were hoping for.

The B&B is on three floors and we were told that we'd be on the second floor. We have mobility issues but were assured that staff would help with the luggage. We arrived and were told we were on the third floor but could be moved to the second for the final two days of our stay. Staff were very helpful moving luggage.

There is a served breakfast included which was very good.

The B&B is in a heritage building and, as such, is noisy with people walking around and the vintage air conditioner.

The location is good and it was a pleasant walk to restaurants and shops.

Again, the staff were excellent. For seniors like us, when making a reservation select the first floor and be prepared to live with the characterful creaks and noises of the building.

Chris and Li have the loveliest bed and breakfast in a perfect downtown location. It’s a ten minute walk to the main drag, a 2 minute walk to Victoria Park and the waterfront boardwalk, and yet it is quiet at night in their plant-filled haven. Their 130 year old house and warm maritime hospitality feels like it belongs to another era (when you could pay mid-income prices but still feel as spoiled as an upper classer!). Yet the beds and pillows are modern and super comfortable. My only complaint was slightly weak water pressure, but if you want to stay at the holiday inn and get a really great shower (instead of fresh cut irises and peonies on the breakfast table, and tea on the egg swing in the solarium), then you don’t deserve the magic this place provides!

Very satisfied with my stay. When I came in there was fresh bread baking - very welcoming! Location is perfect walking distance to local tourist stuff plus a really nice waterfront walk. In the heart of many heritage homes. I was at the tail end of my trip so doing a load of laundry was so convenient. Breakfast is simple and good. Go out for your own coffee if drip coffee is a no-no for you. I would happily return again as I really liked the vibe and of course, very clean. Free parking. Bed was very comfortable and I loved the pillows but I know some folks may find them too flat. For me, this is a great place to stay and I would return!

On the plus side—The location of the Sonata is excellent. Within walking distance to many restaurants and activities. The dining room and plant room are both sunny and cheerful. It was nice that they had tea, coffee, snacks available on the main floor and the upstairs floors.
On the minus side—our room and bathroom seemed tired and dated. Our room had a smell like sweaty bodies/wet dog-although it did not bother my husband. When we opened our windows it diminished. I mentioned it when we checked out and they said they’d look into it.

Staff were very accommodating. Location was wonderful for connection to downtown Charlottetown. We appreciated free parking spaces. Common areas upstairs had a smell and needed to be aired out. It’s an old building and had things needing fixing especially at the start of their tourist season, ie: light bulbs, tvs didnt work, ant problem. It was a fine stay, but for the price we would stay elsewhere in the future.

We had a good stay at the Sonata Inn. It’s in a beautiful historic neighborhood, it’s in a great walkable location and near the waterfront, Victory Park, and lots of shops and restaurants. Parking is easy, breakfast is very good, and the staff are friendly and helpful. My only critique is that the rooms ( at least our room ) was in need of renovation. Although clean, the paint was chipped, bathtub grout was stained, furniture and carpets were old, and neither of the TV’s worked. (it may have been because we were not using the remotes properly but there were no directions in the room). The pros outweighed the cons and as long as you can overlook that it’s somewhat run down you’ll have a pleasant stay.

The only call out I have is that since it is a century home, there are no elevators. Ensure that you double check that the room is on the ground floor if you have difficulty climbing steep stairs.

The actual property is very close to both the water’s edge as well as downtown Charlottetown. Overall, a very enjoyable stay!

Not Value for Money

The Sonata Inn is a very old building turned into an Inn. Everything about the property reminds you of a bygone era of old hotels. The people who run the property are friendly and try there best to make your stay comfortable. The provided breakfast is well stocked and refreshed. However, when I consider what we paid for our stay I don't think that it is good value for money.

Such a unexpected service. Fresh cookies and treats at the frint counter. Steaming hot food whenever we ate breakfast. They had juice and coffee available the whole time we were there. You could purchase bottled water and canned drinks in a fridge on the second floor for a $1. They have a nice sitting room with lots of windows. We used that lots. Beds were firmer than I expected but were ok for sleeping. Pillows could be upgraded. Two were super thin and 2 were extremely thick and firm. Overall I would recommend this place and would stay here again if we were passing this way.
