Auberge Place d'Armes

You sure can't beat the location! Just down from Chateau Frontenac and easily walkable to all of Old Town Quebec. We were in attic room #33 and had great AC for a warm July stay. The room was cozy but we were comfortable and everything worked well. There was plenty of hot water with good pressure, towels were large and soft, bed was comfortable, and everything was clean. Even though the staircases were a challenge to manage with bags, we were well above any street or restaurant noise. Great value! The parking under City Hall was very close (1 block) and with quite reasonable rates - CAD$17.50/day

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! I never write reviews, but this experience was so frustrating I had to say something. I arrived at 4 PM to check in and found the cleaning staff still trying to deal with a room that was in terrible shape. I was told it was because of renovations, but honestly, it was just filthy. Not the kind of place you can even consider staying in. I didn’t spend a single night there. The photos I’ve attached speak for themselves. When I raised my concerns, someone who said they were the manager told me I’d get a full refund. Based on that, I left and booked another hotel last minute, which cost me even more. At that point, I assumed the situation was handled. But it wasn’t. The hotel ghosted me. No follow-up, no refund. I called again and was told the refund would be processed, but nothing ever happened. I had to go through Booking.com to get my money back, and I only got it because of my status with them, not because the hotel did the right thing. Also worth noting: there’s no actual reception desk. You enter through a restaurant, and the whole setup feels disorganized and not like a real hotel at all. In the end, I felt completely scammed. Lied to, ignored, and left to clean up the mess myself. Would never stay here again.

This is a small, boutique hotel right in the heart of the Upper Old Town of Quebec. It is located on a pedestrian-only street, so if you have a car, you'll need to park in a lot (I found the public underground lot at the Hotel de Ville to be the nearest and best option). It is located with a restaurant and has only a few rooms. This was the first hotel I've ever stayed in where they don't give you keys, but send you digital keys on your phone when you check in on-line. I think that's becoming more of a trend, especially for smaller hotels, but it was a new thing for me. The room was nice and had a lot of character. It felt like a small, family run place rather than a corporate-type hotel (the bed creaked when I got in, which wasn't an issue and was endearing). But the room had all the comforts I needed and was very comfortable. The location is unquestionably the best part of this hotel - right off of the square in front of the Chateau Frontenac, which meant all of the Upper Old Town was within a few minutes walk and the funicular to and from the Lower Old Town was just a couple of minutes away. Plus, several nice restaurants and bars and shops were all right near the hotel. All in all, would recommend.

There was only one issue with our stay which was in one of the attic rooms. Great location and amenities around us. However we booked for only one night thankfully because the shower was filled with MOLD growing all around the base. It was a major disappointment because we were unable to even use the shower. Also from a health perspective it is absolutely unacceptable to have this amount of mold growing in there without staff noticing. Won’t be back. Better off getting a hotel that’s actually SANITARY. Should have that room closed…

Great central location -thats what youre really paying for. Restaurant was phenomenal, cute room, great sleeps with no noise from neighbours but lots from the a/c. Be prepped for stairs. Keyless entry was a bit delayed/took a few tries. Some rough edges to the room, had to fix our a/c unit a couple times with the duct tape/cardboard contraption keeping it in the window, never got the TV figured out and working, but didn't really need it with all the things to do in town.

We stayed in an attic room. The check in process was confusing as there was no distinction between the restaurant entrance and the hotel front desk. The hotel desk was not staffed when we arrived (around 1 pm), with only a virtual front desk being offered. When we finally contacted the hotel to store our bags, they simply suggested to place our bags behind the unmanned reception desk or in the waiting area, neither of which are secure. Additionally, the bathroom within our room was in quite poor shape. There was mold in the shower faucet and tiles. The shower head would not stay in its holder meaning it had to be held the whole time you wanted to shower. The shower faucet also had a constant drip / leak that could not be turned off, and it leaked the whole time which probably caused the mold. The hot water also took a long time to come on. Overall, it was a very poor experience for a place so highly rated. Thankfully, we only stayed for one night.

What a gem for lodging right in the middle of action. Room was beautiful as was the dining room. The breakfast was great! by a very attentive server! This is a second visit to this Auberge. The bed gave us the best sleep ever.

Had a great time. Check in/out was incredibly easy. The street the hotel is on has lots of life and fun. Lots of stairs up to the attic rooms, but it’s worth the walk up there. Very unique room.

The place is nice. Some concierges are more peasant than others. I was disappointed when we had to leave our two rooms early by a day from our 5-night stay due to a heavy US storm, I asked them to refund or even credit me for one night. They said they would if they would rent the rooms out. Apparently they didn't, as I never heard from them again, even to let me know. Not a lot of soft skills.

Perfect location! Walking distance to everything, very lively outside. Upon checking in, you're greeted by very friendly people. They have us coupons for free crepes, ice cream and coupons for their restaurant!

Found on Trip Advisor; not Yelp. Absolute Gem! Lovely place to stay. All the rooms are different; and extremely cozy. We had a room over-looking the square and the LE CHÂTEAU FRONTENAC area. It was beautiful. The bed was really comfortable. Room, was extremely clean and had everything you would need. Small fridge, coffee maker, nice blankets, nice towels. Very charming. The Staff, all super helpful and friendly. Location is simply perfect - in Old Quebec, near the Old Port. You are walking distance to dozens of bars and restaurants and shopping and all those thangs. There is a parking garage one-block away. You can valet with the hotel; or park yourself for half the price. I would definitely recommend; and definitely would stay here again.

We picked this hotel based off of reviews, location, and price. We were debating between here and the more famous hotel across the plaza. There is not a doubt in my mind that we made the right choice. It's probably one of the most comfortable, charming hotels I've ever stayed in - there's just a feel to the rooms that you won't find in a large hotel. The building is very old, so the rooms have little quirks, like stone walls and original fireplaces. It's been updated though, so don't worry, there are all of the comforts you'd expect like a coffee machine and in-room TV, as well as heated bathroom floors. To get to some of the rooms you have to walk through a hallway, which gives it a feeling of a B&B. You can't beat the location either, our window looked right out on the Place D'Armes and it's a very short walk to restaurants, shops, La Citadelle, bars and a quick ride to the train station by taxi although you could walk if you really wanted. The staff was very polite and friendly and even let us leave our bags when we arrived early. I left my passport behind on accident (every traveler's nightmare), and they were kind enough to mail it to me even though it was international (I have two passports otherwise it would've been a real disaster). I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is travelling to Québec

I loved our stay here; and would definitely recommend it! Fantastic location. The rooms have a charm of old and very cool modern features. The air conditioning worked great which can be a problem in older buildings. Beautiful jacuzzi tub in our room. Breakfast included which was lovely. Tip: you cannot drive in front of the hotel. Park/stop on st Anne and the hotel is very close by. Great valet parking service.

no help with your bags up steep stairs. not even an offer. only two coffee pods in room and no one at desk until 10 am. frosted door that you can see through in bathroom. old nespresso that hardly works. the website makes it seem more grand than it is. lobby is not really existent but entrance is very dirty. level of service terrible. sheets clean. a/c works.

Found a deal on Expedia for $110/day. Called and they matched and added a free breakfast. When we checked in they gave us the breakfast coupons, as well as free drink/ice cream. The location is actually very nice. Valet parking about 50 yards from the front entrance with in-out privileges. They upgraded our room (yay!). The room was small, but not uncomfortable. Very clean, comfortable with extra-modern amenities, like a rain shower with variable special effect lighting, electric shower curtain, plenty of dimming lights, a huge LCD TV on a convenient wall mounted hinge. Nice towels, good water pressure, plenty of hot water, quiet, good Internet service and conveniently located. Great service, reasonably priced and an overall great experience. We will definitely return.

Stayed here on a recent trip to QC and I highly recommend. The location is fantastic - there are several shops, restaurants right outside your door and you are across the circle from the castle hotel. It is a small boutique hotel which I personally prefer. If you book direct you will get breakfast included with your room. If not they give you 15% off for any meal at the restaurant and is still very good deal. The breakfast was much better and cheaper than the one we had at a larger nearby place. The hotel is a combination of historic and updated. There are stone walls, but the shower is fantastic and up to date. There is a fancy coffee maker in the room, but I never figured out how to work it. No elevator, but they carried my bags for me. There is also a lounge with a computer.

The rooms are very comfortable and nice. The staff really know the area and if when I needed help, they were always there. It helped my stay all the better. Clean spaces, good price, and friendly staff! This trip was really cool for me especially considering it's so close to home.

Truly adorable boutique hotel right in the middle of Old Quebec. If you are used to corporate hotels with a mini bar, coffee maker, 24 hour room service, and a gym you'll never use, this might be your worst nightmare. There is no elevator, but the front desk staff will help you with your bags without complaint and it's so cozy in the attic rooms (where they stuck us Hotwire people) that you might not want to leave. The hotel restaurant and bar has an awesome deal for breakfast -- it's no longer free as commonly advertised, but instead they offer their regular breakfast menu for $7 a person, which includes coffee or espresso. I dare you to find a better deal that isn't through a drive-thru window! Finally, don't leave without trying the crazy futuristic shower! It's almost as fun as avoiding hitting your head in the attic room. Almost.

Spent the long weekend there with a couple of friends and we couldn't have asked for better service and place. The staff was friendly and helpful to our group since it was especially my first time in Quebec City. Its in a perfect location as well. If I go back to Quebec City, I would definitely try to stay at this hotel again!

We booked this hotel based on the reviews we read. We were not disappointed! The location was great. Across the park from the Chateau Frontenac with much less of a price tag! We received breakfast coupons for each morning we were there. The breakfast offerings were good and it was a great, easy way to start the day. ALL the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were within walking distance of everything without the huge crowds. The bar was very small but...it has a bar. We would definitely book here again.

The Auberge is located in the heart of the Old City. It is a very well maintained boutique hotel, clean, comfortable and with a very pleasant and helpful staff. The Marie Antoinette room was large, bright and well furnished, with a nice bathroom and modern shower. The coupons for free breakfast and 15% off other meals at Chez Jules added to the value.

This was our second stay at this boutique inn. We enjoyed it due to the close proximity to the Frontenac. We had a decent view of it from our room. The stay here includes breakfast every morning at the attached Chez Jules, which I have reviewed separately. Bed and breakfasts are always the way to go when deciding on where to stay, especially when you can just roll out of bed and walk down the hall to get breakfast. We had no complaints here. The bed was firm yet comfortable. Our bathroom was adequate with heated floors and a jetted tub. The doorknob to our bathroom fell off one day so I notified the front desk, luckily it was the second to last day before check out so we made due with it. The room we had was comfortable and quiet. We were not bothered by noise from the hallway or the passersby from the street. Great location and within walking distance to most attractions and restaurants. I would stay again if the price was right.

I recently got back from a 7 day stay at Auberge Place D'armes and could not be more impressed. It is conveniently located in the middle of everything...across the street from the Chateau Frontenac and near shopping, sites and restaurants. The rooms are beautiful...designed in a French country style with lovely modern accents. There is plenty of storage, large beds, fantastic flat screen TVs, ipod players and amazing spa quality bathrooms with a rain shower head and heated floors (my favorite). They were recently remodeled and are perfect. The staff were more than accommodating with cheery attitudes, friendly service and great information about the area. The complimentary breakfast in the morning is much more than expected. Several full entrees are offered and were sooo good! I would definitely return and recommend the Auberge to anyone visiting Quebec City. Tre Magnific!

We also found this place on Trip Advisor but booked directly with the hotel. Our entire experience with them from the first email through our arrival, check in and parking was excellent. The woman at the front desk has gone out of her way to be helpful and accommodating. I have travelled a lot all over the world, and this might be the best service I've ever received. We have a large van that cannot fit in the parking garage and they went out of their way to find us a place to park at a sister hotel and even took the car there for us. We also have a large dog and they were welcoming and helpful with accommodations for him. Then the room turned out to be especially nice (and affordable). As many others have said, the rooms have been remodeled and they are nicely done, with character, functionality and charm. And, of course, the location is excellent. This is a great find. You'll only be disappointed if you are looking for an elevator. Oh, and we shouldn't forget the coupons for free ice cream next door and 15% off at their restaurant and free breakfast.

I go back to Auberge Place D'armes in my dreams. We had the top room, so much charm packed in that small cozy place. Lots of modern convenience- heated bathroom floors, 3 headed shower, jacuzzi bathtub- cleverly hidden among the genuine character and romance of this place. Its also in the perfect location, walking distance to everything attractive nearby. Lets just say, for the week I was there, on -16 degree days, it was a warm, lovely place to get back to and call home.

The location of this hotel is excellent, very few in Old Quebec can match it. The room (#10) was very small, but clean and had what we needed. There were some nice touches - a stained glass piece on the wall with light behind it, chandelier for one light, a reading lamp, Aveda toiletries, etc. They also did a nice job of using unique ways to get the necessities into a small space, such as a ladder against the wall for hanging towels. The view was somewhat blocked by the rooftop, but what we could see otherwise was nice. Hearing the church bells on Sunday morning was very enjoyable. The room size was a bit of a factor, we needed to plan ahead when walking on either side of the bed, limited wardrobe space, etc. An larger adult might have had trouble with the small size of the bathroom. Also, there are only stairs, no elevator, so be forewarned if stairs are an issue for you. The hallway did smell musty, but thankfully the room did not. The complimentary breakfast that came with the room was outstanding. The atmosphere in the restaurant bright and sunny. The staff was fine, not outstanding in friendliness, but nothing bad either.

Stayed here in May 2014. Loved the romantic setting of the location and beautifully old-fashioned decorated / well kept rooms. GREAT service! Attentive, polite, helpful. The restaurant at the inn (Le Pain Beni) was THE BEST in the whole Quebec City!
