Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is wonderful for exploring, especially if you want to be centered around the old town. It offers a serene atmosphere being a former monastery, but the rooms are not very spacious. The service is attentive with special touches like welcome drinks and tours/ticket assistance. The location is superb, just a short walk from the main streets and close to everything you'd want to see in Quebec City. The dining experience offers a variety of healthy choices, including some unique items. Overall, a great value for the price.
The hotel offers an intriguing stay for solo travelers with its unique room setup, featuring a queen bed and a delightful tub, though the presence of a tiny single bed might not suit all guests. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the old city, making it perfect for exploring, albeit slightly removed from the bustling thoroughfare. The dining experience provides a variety of healthy options and intriguing items like chia seed pudding, setting a serene ambiance, while the facilities cater to particular sensitivities. However, the non-ensuite rooms could be a drawback for some.
The hotel's rooms have an authentic feel like an old monastery, with no modern conveniences like TV or Radio but clean and comfortable. The shared bathrooms, although not in the room, were okay. On the downside, the proximity to the toilet made it easy to hear people coming in and out. The queen bed and great tub were definite highlights of the stay.
Staying at the hotel was an interesting experience. The rooms were cozy but being close to a loud doorway and shared bathrooms made it more suited for a solo stay. The location was excellent, offering easy access to the main attractions of Quebec, though not exactly central. The dining experience was pleasant, with a variety of fresh options, and the service was accommodating with a welcome drink and tour assistance.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms that had all the necessary amenities. The service was friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The location was superb, close to all the main attractions in Quebec City. The dining experience was refreshing, offering healthy and fresh options to start the day. Overall, a great value for the price.
