Hotel was unique and beautiful inside. Our room (queen, 1st floor) was tiny. The shower leaked around the door and the TV did not work properly. We informed the front desk. Breakfast was continental with options like boiled eggs, instant oatmeal with a variety of dried fruit and nut/seeds, toast, croissants, cheese, and pate, coffee and tea, juice, and yogurt. Hotel is very convenient and close to Old Quebec (about 2km to the walled entrance). Parking is limited and we didn’t book our parking space early enough so we had to park across the street in public parking ($22 for approx 16 hours) at the church. A crosswalk is nearby to cross the street to the parking lot and during down times it’s easy to cross right in front of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There is an option for roasting marshmallows on the rooftop patio but the outside open stairs freaked me out so I couldn’t go up (fear of heights - maybe it was just me).

The property looks good from outside, and transit to Old Quebec is as easy. Lots of food options on nearby rue Cartier. The breakfast was sufficient and the staff was very attentive. Parking was not available on site. Our room was damp and smelled like used hockey gear. When reported I was offered a hair dryer as a solution. Apparently the hotel was sold out, so we could not be moved. The room was nice sized but needed deeper cleaning.

I liked that the hotel is good situated, close to the oldtown (20 min walk) I didn’t like that I’ve got a room in the basement with a small window. The view was to the wheels of parked cars. The way to the room was tru a narrow stairway.

Very nice place to stay. Arrived during summer music festival which was an easy 1 km walk away. Limited to only 5 or so parking spaces, so had to pay $30 for the night to private lot a few blocks away which was lucky to have a space available otherwise would have to walk 1km away to another parking lot. Not the best situation for parking. The lobby looks poorly decorated at first site and gives poor impression of the place but the rooms are fine and the breakfast room was great as well as the breakfast. Had to move the car before 8 am to the street parking and once we figured out the parking app for Old Quebec the rest of the trip and parking was great. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable.

Petit hôtel sympathique

Well-located hotel offering simple but comfortable rooms. The included breakfast is a nice perk. Two minor drawbacks: the rooms could use some renovations, and there's a humidity problem despite the air conditioning.

Beautiful building room was great all was good until breakfast when we were told we could not eat in the dining room with my service dog. They offered us to sit upstairs on the terrace but we could not go in the dining room to make my own plate, in case someone was allergic. But they have two dogs behind the counter at check in. They need to learn the law for service animals
