I stayed at this hotel for two nights during a vacation in Quebec City. It was a very quick walk from the train station, which was great when I arrived late in the afternoon carrying a bunch of bags. My room was on the top floor, and was basic but very adequate. The beds were not the plush kind you find in many chain hotels, but they were clean and in good condition and I slept well. Based on other reviews I was a bit concerned about noise from the first floor, but the hotel actually seemed extremely quiet while I was there. There was a bit of road noise, but I hardly ever heard anyone else in the building. The hotel was about a 5-10 minute walk from the centre of downtown, uphill, but for anyone who is okay with a bit of exercise to get around it was very conveniently located. Overall I was glad that I chose to stay here.

The location is great in my opinion. It is just downhill from old Québec and about a 10 minutes walks from the Saint-Roch quartier. It is also pretty near the train/bus station.

I had a room on the third floor, which I think was probably one of the biggest they had. It had 3 windows that you could open at your liking. It also had all the amenities you would expect, and I include free internet in those.

I guess it's true that it could be loud sometimes, My room was located at the back and on the top floor so I think I avoided most of it, but on one night they had a band on the first floor (I should point out the first floor is something of a pub/bar) and I can imagine the people on the second floor could hear it, but It ended pretty early if I remember right.

Also, the showers are a bit short for people who are over 6 foot tall. And the hotel should really consider serving a real breakfast, even though they really make a good expresso.

All in all, I really enjoyed my stay there. Slept well and had lots of space and air.

A good value hotel above a popular bar in the Lower Town. Rooms are small, but updated and generally clean. Our floor needed sweeping, but wasn't during our stay. Rates are about 2/3 the price of comparable rooms in the Upper Town. Step across the street to the Old Market for breakfast or picnic fare. Walk to the Upper Town in 10 minutes, but get away from the tourist crowds when you come "home" in the evening. Look for free entertainment on the boardwalk of the Old Port. Ask about public bus transportation to Montmorency Falls and get help with your French from the locals on the bus. Be adventurous and try the game dishes on the menus: pheasant, bison, caribou, wild boar, duck, and more. Bring a compact French dictionary and make the effort to start talking in French. Usually you'll get a friendly smile before the locals respond in English. Expect to pay $10-$15 a day for parking a car, often with in/out privileges. If weather is unsettled, carry a compact umbrella; downpours come suddenly.

Close to everything, little bar was great not loud, great place to sit on the sidewalk and people watch. very clean, friendly.
