This hotel is absolutely one of the highlights of our trip, we enjoyed our stay here!
Service:
The front desk staff, all of them are super super sweet and helpful. Especially, the girl helped us, darker hair, she is so wonderful!! She is very knowledgable and she patiently spends time on our first two days here helping us navigate and mark out places on the map, from restaurant recommendations, reservation status for the local places, COVID test info, to navigations (bus routes etc.). She made everything so much easier.
Breakfast
Each day, they give you a breakfast menu so you can choose what you'd like to include in your breakfast basket. Every morning, you deliver the breakfast baskets to your door by 8am, and each person is $15/day. Each basket comes with abundance of food: juice, croissant, pastry, cheese, yogurt or chia seed pudding, milk, etc. It took me two mornings to finish mine. They do offer gluten-free options as well. This made our morning very easy, especially since it's so cold outside and you may want to eat something before you head out to the freezing temperature.
Location
This hotel is located in the heart of downtown old Quebec, everything is within walkable distance. All the restaurants and coffee shops are within 2-3 minutes, it takes about 5-8 minutes to walk to the Petit Champlain. We didn't rent a car for our entire trip. It costs us about $40 for taxi from the airport to the hotel, but on the way back, we took the bus to the airport, it was cheap and convenient. The hotel is only about 8 minutes walk from the bus station, the stop is called Youville. From Youville, you can pretty much go anywhere since it is a main transit center. You can buy the bus tickets from the convenience store called Jac & Gil near the bus station, or the one on Rue St. Jean (both within 5 minutes walk from the hotel), make sure you get round trips for the ticket, and they only accept cash for the bus tickets at the store, they do accept US dollars. We were able to ride the bus to see the Montmorency Falls (one hour bus ride, straight from Youville, super easy), get our covid test, travel around the city, and go to the airport.
COVID Test
If you are traveling back to the US, you will need a COVID test done within 72 hours before your departure. The hotel recommended the place called Elna Medical https://elnamedical.com/en/, we were able to schedule an appointment for the next day and got our results back within an hour. You do have to pay out of pocket, it is about $100. The location of Elna Medical is very convenient, we took the bus, #807, and the stop is literally less than half block away from Elna, it took about 20 minutes by bus to get there.
I highly recommend this hotel, it will make your trip memorable and enjoyable!
