Very clean, comfy bed, friendly helpful staff. Perfect location - hotel is located in the heart of old Quebec City close to many restaurants. Access to microwave and kettle.

Sadly, I ignored the few negative reviews on this site because of the charming appeal of the photos of this hotel. The location turned out to be its only asset. However, about five hotels were adjacent, so any of those would have been better. We left after two nights for Hotel Bellevue which was leagues better.

Au Petit Hotel is not a hotel. It is not comfortable, and we did not have the basic necessities. It was more spartan than a hostel, a church lock-in, or even camping, in some regards. The beds were unbearably hard, and board-like, and the rooms dirty with dilapidated off-cast furniture without any style or thought. The upholstery was dirty. There were not enough blankets and the heat was too low in a cold October. We were not served any breakfast as advertised. The bath tub was about half the size of a small standard tub. The bathroom floor was very dirty. Dingy fluorescent light over a gold formica vanity and a gold formica headboard! made it worse. I have lived in the third world, traveled to Africa, stayed in hostels, and am willing to be flexible but we could not stomach this place. Staff were indifferent and hardly spoke to us. There is a language barrier as they do not speak French or English, and do not attempt to. There is no common room and no access to any food, ice, information or recommendations, logistics assistance with travel. Other hotels start at even just $113 per night. Save yourself our experience. Do not be lured by this curb appeal.

This small hotel is wonderfully situated within the Old City. A short walk takes you to restaurants and shops, and a short walk in the opposite direction takes you to the Chateau and funicular. We were aware of the steep steps inside the hotel (thanks to previous reviews) but our request for a room on the first floor was attended to. The continental breakfast was basic but adequate, served in our room, and only $2.50. There was a microwave and jug outside our room on the landing.

This was the cheapest hotel I could find in the old city, less than 2 blocks from the wall and just on the other side of the wall from the Parliament building. I reserved it and then later read some bad reviews, but there was nothing else available.

We were pleasantly surprised! The room was small, but clean and comfortable, and the lack of AC was not a problem even though it was very hot while we were there and we were on the 4th floor (up 3 flights of narrow stairs!) We left the window open and turned on the fans and it was fine. There was a small refrigerator, the bathroom was plenty big enough, and the beds were comfortable. The service was fine, friendly and polite and they spoke English and French, if not like natives, at least enough to do business. It was really conveniently located and a really good value, totally worth it!
