We stayed at Le Champlain Hotel in June of 2011. After seeing photos of Quebec City at Christmas, my spouse and I decided to return in December for a weekend with our college age children. Although very cold, Quebec City was stunning! The hotel was very clean and warm (very important in this cold city at this time of year), and lots of hot water. They also had a hot chocolate, latte, cappacino machine in the lobby along with a fireplace, which was not only welcoming and warming after walking around the city, but also a huge cost savings. The breakfast was very good, and my only complaint was that the coffee was not hot. Breakfast was omelettes, toast, bagels, pork pate, yogurt, fruit salad. We have also experienced french toast and baked beans in our previous stay. They change it up, so it's not the same every morning. This hotel is within walking distance to everything, and once you park your car, there's no need to take it out. Be sure to call in advance to reserve a parking space, as parking is limited.

Best activities while we were there:
The Marché du Vieux-Port (Old Port Market) – Best donuts, maple products, wines, cheese, stocking stuffers, etc.
Walking the fortification wall along parallel to Honore Mercier and D’Auteuil at night to view Parliament Hill, the Chateau Frontenac and the rest of the city – exquisite!

A big surprise! The hotel is a 5 minutes walk away from the Centre des congrès, the room was very spacious and breakfast (fruits, yogourt, eggs, baked beans, bagels, cereals...) was more than enough. I will certainly go back.

My husband brings me to Quebec so I can practice my French....What a lovely experience I, we had at the Champlain Hotel...We were welcomed by a lovely lady named Isabelle and a warm smile. Right away, we knew we made the correct hotel selection.....We have been to Quebec several times but stayed at other places.....no comparison with Champlain.....
The entire staff treated us with warmth and always a smile....when we had any questions, they would take time to help us........The room was so very clean, the bathroom also......that is very important to me.......The view is a picture that is forever in my memory.....food, well what else can I say except we did gain a few lbs.!! We will be going back and for sure make our stay with Le Champlain Hotel......you rock!! Dick & Vivian L. Dec 5/8 2011

My husband and three daughters and I stayed at Le Champlain. Our room had a great view of Old Quebec, and the room itself was spectacular: two huge beds, a really nice, roomy bathroom, an ambiance fireplace and a flat screen TV. Not only that, the location was great because it's about a block from where all of the action is going on in Old Quebec, yet close enough to the "Newer" Quebec that if you wanted to do stuff outside Old Town it was easy. The staff is fluent in English and goes out of their way to make you comfortable, plus they are very helpful for making recommendations for you for places to go to and eat. Plus, free complementary breakfast which is freshly made every morning. No complaints, except there's only one elevator for the entire hotel and that the lobby is small
