Hôtel Manoir de l’Esplanade

Such a quaint cozy place and the location is just great, you get out of the hotel and make a left and it takes you right to Old Town Quebec. The room, very cute, but could use a little upgrades on the pillows, they were a bit flat. The TV didn't work and is just too old for this day and age. We hardly ever turn on the tv but at night after a long day, its nice to have something on in the background as you are unwinding. The breakfast, was great! We didn't have to rush out to get any which is so so nice and great staff. I would def. recommend this location and this hotel. Photos are of the area close by, didn't get much of the hotel.

Old City Quebec is a wonderful place to visit, and this hotel is right in the perfect place. The picture associated with the Manoir de L'Esplanade is NOT the hotel though. This hotel is much smaller, and sits on a corner just near the walls of the city. It has been modernized. There are steps to get in ( so carrying luggage , beware). Not all rooms have elevator access; you pay for a king room to get that. The king room we rented was really nice - looks right down on the street. Tall ceilings, plenty of room and all the needed amenities. The in room coffee was the best I've ever had. We left our luggage there in the morning we arrived in town and they kindly accomodated and delivered them to our room when it was ready. They do have breakfast, but we had to leave too early to appreciate it. The hotel itself was quiet - the street of course had plenty of noises and we found the clip-clopping of the horse buggy rides to be rather soothing.

This place really upset me. Check in person was great, room itself was great. Breakfast set up was horrible. It was set up like a hotel does for self-service but you weren’t allowed to serve yourself. Left many guess confused about expectation. It has to be one or the other, self-service or full-service… lastly, on checkout day, our flights was not until late so we booked tickets to the citadel tour to then find out at check out that the hotel couldn’t hold our luggage (no advance notice given that the hotel was being shut down entirely at 1pm for some pre-planned repairs), so we couldn’t even figure out a storage location in time and no suggestions were even provided. We were forced to head to airport early and loose our money and opportunity to see the citadel and the last few things we had planned before heading out. Disappointed doesn’t even describe how annoyed I am.

Outstanding stay. Everyone who works here, from front desk, to breakfast to room attendants are so kind and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The vibe / style may not fit everyone's taste, but it was extremely clean and well situated. Breakfast had something for everyone (included in room charge). Thank you for a wonderful time.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in September 2025. We were greeted warmly by the desk person, check-in was smooth and efficient. Our room was probably the smallest of the 34 rooms. Nevertheless, it was very clean and well-appointed, with a comfortable double bed, air conditioner/heater, cable TV, plenty of lights and AC outlets, mini fridge, full private bath with hair dryer and toiletries, and clock radio. There was even a small wall-mounted electric fireplace! Everything functioned well. The included breakfast is worth a special mention: Upon entering the breakfast room, you’re given a small card to place on your chosen table. Red side up means you’ve occupied your chosen table, and tells the staff not to clean it up. Green side up means you’ve finished your meal and the staff can bus your table. This is more than a continental breakfast. There are attendants who make you any kind of coffee you want, toast your bread or bagel for you, make pancakes for you, and serve various cheeses and juices to you. There’s also an area where you can serve yourself other breakfast items such as cold cereals and granola, fresh fruit, hard-boiled eggs, bacon and sausage. A great start to the day!|We would definitely stay here again. One caveat though: this hotel, in a stone building dating from c.1845, is on the upper side of the escarpment in Quebec City. The train and cruise terminals are on the lower side of the escarpment, meaning that if you travel to the hotel by foot from either of those locations, you’ll have a very lsteep walk uphill. A better bet is to walk to the funicular, which is a short cable car ride (30 seconds long?) up the escarpment. It costs $6 and is well worth it. Or you can pay triple that for a taxi, I suppose. Many of Quebec City’s streets are inclined, some gently, some steeply. It makes the city very interesting to walk, but could be challenging for people with mobility issues. But as I said, there are taxis (and Ubers).||Back to the hotel: having been repurposed from, I would guess, a private residence, it has a few idiosyncrasies such as narrow staircases and an odd layout. But that’s part of its charm. If you want a purpose-built standardized corporate hotel experience, the Sheraton’s just a few blocks away. This hotel’s in a great location, steps away from numerous restaurants, many shops within a few blocks, an easy walk to the Dufferin Terrace which overlooks the old town. If you take the funicular to the bottom, there are many charming little shops and bars and restaurants to explore. We are Montrealers, but we saw many, many Americans having a great time in Quebec City.||And don’t worry about the language issue. Although most of the city dwellers speak French, they also understand quite a bit of English, and everyone you encounter in the tourism industry is fluently bilingual. Just start the conversation by saying “Bonjour Hi”. ||Thumbs up for Hotel Manor de l’Esplanade, a well-run Old World-style hotel in the heart of one of North America’s most historic cities!|And to reassure you, this review is not AI-generated. I’m just an appreciative guy who likes to give credit where due.

Location is superb. Breakfast very good and fresh. Staff pleasant and helpful. It’s a lovely boutique hotel, so rooms are quaint and smaller than regular hotel chain rooms. It’s across from the Plains of Abraham, down the street from the Frontenac and at the hub of all the great restaurants, shopping and site seeing.

Wonderful experience . It’s a quaint, European style hotel with modern facilities. The location is perfect. It’s away from the hustle bustle but within walking distance of it all. The hotel staff is friendly and aims to please. The continental breakfast ( included) is good. The cappuccino, delicious. |My friend and I loved our room ( 30) because it has two separate sections for each queen bed which makes it seem like two rooms in one, There is a shower stall, no tub. The room was clean and beautifully decorated. Our other friends had a room with a bathtub. I hear no two rooms are alike. This hotel is so unique. We loved our stay and recommend it highly.

Absolutely lovely place in the heart of the old city. Attractive and comfortable room, and we had a view of the beautiful Chateau Frontenac from our window. It's only a short walk to the Chateau, attractiins, oodles of stores and dining options, and the Funicular to descend to the lower city. We would gladly stay here again if we return to Quebec. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Very happy with the accommodations and service while staying here. Very clean, good location, continental breakfast, money exchange, and very quiet. Would definitely recommend!

So at first I was dubious, there are some tacky knickknacks around the lobby (the cat) and in the room ( the metal fish and bugs. No.) I have become accustomed to some weird decor decisions in Quebec but I was worried these mis-steps would translate into other slippages. So far, not at all the case. This is not a 4 star hotel on some technicalities probably, the elevator is rickety, the lobby is casual livingroomy with a touch of hostel, but honestly, the bedroom is totally lovely. 4 stars for sure. Old stone, raked attic roof, big clean comfy bed, beautifully renovated bathroom. And given the price during super touristy summer season, and the utterly lovely location on the park, and the friendly helpful smiling chill service, excellent free wifi, I'm totally happy to give 4 stars.

This hotel provided very poor service to my booking request.. They use a booking service that (booking.com) that is impossible to work with if you need to make changes or adjustments to your reservation... They do not honor change date requests... The gentleman at the desk was actually rude and abrupt... Stay away!!

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for 6 nights, and when we return to Quebec we will stay there. The location is perfect. A 6 minute walk up St. Louis, the street that runs beside the hotel, takes you to Place d'Armes where all the tour buses wait, Hotel Frontenac, the funiculaire to the lower city, and the tourist Information center. There are many good restaurants along the way. It is convenient to everything. There is free wifi, the rooms are cozy, clean and comfortable, and there is a free continental breakfast that provides many choices including some very nice pastries. What I loved best was the setting which is across from a park and very near the Plains of Abraham. Looking out the window of our 3rd floor room was delightful. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful.

We stayed here for about 5 days in early October 2010. Our room was on the 4th floor underneath the roof which gave us a wonderful view of Quebec City and the Chateau Frontenac Hotel. The room was spacious, clean and very quiet and comfortable - the only thing we missed was perhaps a small fridge. There is an elevator and getting up to the 4th floor is no problem at all. The hotel has a free and very satisfactory continental breakfast in their dining room every morning. Free WiFi is also available and for those who require it, a computer is available in a small office next to the reception area.The hotel is located within the Old Town and in walking distance to all sights such as Chateau Frontenac, the center of town and surrounded by very many restaurants. Parking, at a cost, can be arranged by the hotel - we kept our car in their own secured parking area. The management goes out of their way to help travelers and can only be recommended for their service and attitude offered. Overall, my wife and I found this to be a very good value and could not come up with anything negative and highly recommend this hotel.
