Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The river view from the room I booked, despite its high price of $575 per night totaling $1500, was unfortunately not visible due to ongoing renovation works. The room itself felt outdated, and the pullout couch was not comfortable for sleeping. However, the location was convenient for accessing the funicular and exploring Old Québec.
The hotel offers a very nice living area for cocktails but is pricey. The service is exceptional, but there are lapses in attention to detail. The location is perfect for exploring Old Quebec. The dining experience is extensive, but some areas need improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comforts and disappointments. The rooms were spacious and immaculately clean, perfect for accommodating a family with children. However, our room wasn't ready on time, leading to a slight inconvenience. The service, on the other hand, was amazing and incredibly helpful in providing us with useful tips and even arranging an extra refrigerator for our needs.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were pleasant and clean, giving off a charming vibe reminiscent of a small French apartment, which my wife particularly loved. The service was top-notch, with every staff member, from the doorman to the receptionist, being extremely professional and attentive. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of old Quebec City, making it easy for us to explore the local attractions on foot. While the dining experience exceeded my expectations with a fantastic breakfast and thoughtful gestures like a special treat for our Wedding Anniversary, there were minor disappointments in the facilities available.
The hotel rooms, for the price we paid, were clean and comfortable with a nice city view, offering a quiet environment for a great night's sleep. The rooms were on the smaller side given the high cost, and the furniture arrangement was a bit odd.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms, though not huge, were certainly spacious enough and offered an excellent view of Samuel Champlain's statue and the St Lawrence River. While the bathroom was small, I was happy with the overall experience, even though the price was a bit higher than expected. The bed was soft and comfortable, and the breakfast arranged by the restaurant staff in front of the window made me feel truly cared for. My short stay created beautiful memories, and this hotel stands out for its historical charm.
My stay at the hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were quiet and very dark, ideal for a good night's sleep, and proved to be a great place to get work done before my meetings. However, they were a bit outdated and on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, with dedicated staff going above and beyond to assist, like sorting out my airport-hotel transfer hiccup. The location was phenomenal, offering breathtaking views of the St Lawrence River and easy access to restaurants and attractions. The dining experience at Le Chamblain restaurant was fabulous. The facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel offered comfortable and spacious rooms with great views, despite the high cost not being fully justified. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to meet our needs. The central location in Old Quebec provided easy access to key attractions, but a view of the river would have enhanced the experience. The dining options were varied but fell short in terms of value for money. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The service was top-notch, and the location couldn't have been better for exploring beautiful downtown Quebec City. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel offers a spacious room with views of the St Lawrence River and the courtyard by the funicular, but the bed could have been more comfortable for the price. The service was quick and courteous, although we had to look up information ourselves. The location is prime in Old Quebec but can feel overpriced for the room size. The dining experience was delicious with various options, though slightly expensive compared to alternatives.
The hotel has European charm with North American comfort, but the rooms were out of order for most of the day, which was a downside. The service was nice and accommodating, but the disturbance caused by high walkie talkies at night was bothersome. The location, however, was just as impressive, being right by the old town with lots to see and eat. The dining experience was a mix of traditional pastries and sandwiches, though a bit overpriced for what was offered.
