This is a great place. Close to old down town, pet friendly with a cool rood top fire pit. Loads of really neat art all over the place that if your in love with, there's a price tag on it so you can take it home. Great breakfast and probably the the most friendly staff I've ever dealt with. My only beef was with the parking which I though was included. There is none and so you need to unload and then go park elsewhere. Not crazy far away but far enough and an extra $. Highly recommend this place.

Overall this is a boutique hotel - almost a bed and breakfast - Positives - Staff are wonderful - very responsive and helpful - Breakfast is good - it is continental so you are not getting fresh cooked eggs but there lots of options - food is fresh and plentiful - Bed and pillows were comfortable - bathroom was updated and had a great shower - about a 25 minute easy walk to Old Quebec Negatives - our room was very small even though it was considered a superior room - there was a strange smell in our room which I couldn’t identify and it activated my allergies - there was carpet on the floor in the bedroom which felt damp - could be the reason for the smell - elevator is an adventure Overall it was a good stay - would I recommend - for a one or 2 night stay - yes - more than that - no

Great atmosphere at the hotel, definitely felt like we were in the middle of an art gallery. Breakfast was excellent - best continental breakfast I've had. Some of the spaces were a little run down and worn, but that comes with being in an old building. Didn't impact our stay at all. Neighborhood nearby is awesome.

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.

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.

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.
