Le C3 Hôtel

This is our first visit while vacationing. When we return to Quebec City, we will definitely book this place. It was a lovely stay. Rooms are very nice. Enjoyed the breakfast (included in the hotel room rate). The location is terrific - can walk to the Old Quebec City. Nice neighborhood nearby for shopping and restaurants. Appreciated the extra TLC offered by Benjamin. Kudos!

Can't beat the location. You can walk to Old Town. Around the corner there are blocks of restaurants & shops. We had a business class room. It has a king bed which was very comfy. Staff was very friendly. The rooftop is a nice area for relaxing. |Breakfast french toast is the best!

I really liked our stay at C3 Hotel during our road trip to Quebec City. It is a small hotel but has everything you need and the location is great too. Service is good, staff was always attentive to what you need. Loved the decoration around the hotel, modern and full of colour. ||Our room was on the second floor and was quiet, spacious and comfortable. The AC was very good too, which was needed with that heat wave we got. Bed and pillows were great and bathroom was good size but I found weird the shower had a gap (not a full door) so the water was all over the floor at some point. ||It includes breakfast, a small buffet style with scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt, waffle maker, bread, croissants, coffee, tea, juice. ||Location is great: we parked in a garage about 4min walking distance. Old Quebec area is about 25-30min walk. Also some cute restaurants are close by, on Av. Cartier, about 2 blocks. ||Overall I was very happy with our stay here, totally recommend.

We stayed here for six days in September as a couple. The reason we chose this location was its close proximity to the touristy areas, but far enough away to not be overrun with people. It is about a half mile walk to old Quebec directly down the street. It is located a half a block away from Cartier Street, which has lots of restaurants and bars. There is lots of shopping and things to do in the immediate vicinity. We were able to walk to all of the attractions and not use an Uber. The hotel is very well-kept and clean. Also included is breakfast, and for the price is well worth it. The hotel was quiet at night and had no problems with noises. They also offer s’mores on the roof at night over an open fire. all of the staff were super helpful and made our stay very enjoyable. With the price, location, and accommodations. This is a great place to stay when visiting Quebec city.

The hotel is a cool concept, but awful service. Was woken up early morning twice by construction in the hotel. When I informed the owner, he argued with me that I could only have been woken up on one of the days, and that he would take into consideration warning guests in the future when they are renovating rooms. I highly doubt that, he was very condescending. I was not asking for a rebate, only stating I should have been warned my room was directly above a construction site. Highly recommend avoiding this place, despite the cool location. Owner does not care about his guest’s comfort.

Lovely hotel, clean and well-decorated, and lots of character. Included breakfast was awesome, desk staff were exceedingly helpful to Quebec newbies, and they have parking you can reserve ahead of time if you need it. Rooftop was a lovely spot to spend an evening.

What a wonderful stay at the C3 hotel! The staff was courteous and helpful, and the breakfast each morning was more than adequate and very fresh. They had eggs, bagels, croissants, yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, fruit, coffee, and tea, all of which were very good. The location is ideal if you want a quiet getaway from the busy downtown area. 15-20 minute walk into old town Quebec but with lots of restaurants and a market and pharmacy close by within walking distance. We had a room in the basement which had a nice bathroom, a mini fridge, and a very comfortable bed. We will definitely be back!

C3 Art de Vivre is a fun hotel filled with paintings, sculptures, quirky furniture, and other pieces that will make you smile. We loved the kitschy music at breakfast.||The location is perfect—just outside of Old Quebec (within walking distance) and 2 minutes from a newer neighborhood with restaurants and shops. This neighborhood is also where the hotel’s parking is located, which works out fine.||The rooms are spacious and cozy, and the bathroom is modern and well-equipped. The WiFi works flawlessly. Overall, most things here are in good shape.||However, the bed felt like an old-fashioned waterbed, making it hard to move around. One lamp didn’t work, a towel rack fell off the wall, and the paint is peeling in places. Some fixtures are baffling. We never managed to replace the large duvet with two smaller ones, even though we politely asked.||The underwhelming breakfast, supposedly served until 10:30, was mostly gone well before that, and there was no restocking of the hot items (after three days, we still don’t know if there were scrambled eggs and bacon). The hard-boiled eggs were cooked to a greenish hue, the juice was awful, and there was no fresh fruit.||Minor issues, yes, and we did enjoy our stay at Art de Vivre, but the fun art can't hide the neglect in certain areas. The hotel is like a beautiful old lady trying to mask her decline with perfume and heavy makeup.

The C3 Hôtel is a beautifully appointed space in a lovely neighbourhood with easy access to public transportation. If it had a higher level of service, it would be 4 or 5 star, but for now it appears to suffer from staff shortage common in Québec. Our room was in the basement, which was airy and comfortable and light. There are 5 rooms located downstairs, in "the underground". Room 500 is in the lowest part of a 175 year old house, however, and sometimes the room got sewer odour, mostly in the mornings. Our toilet and sink did not drain/flush as well at those times. Not a deal breaker, one should just be aware. Overall the room was great, lots of space, quiet. Unfortunately our check-in was bumpy. The reception person was training a staff, and forgot what she was doing midway through our check-in as a flustered woman ran up to the desk speaking rapidly in french. We stood there as both staff were distracted by this woman, and on retrieving one staff's attention, she seemed surprised we were still there. I pointed out we had not been given our keys. She passed us an unmarked set of keys and returned her gaze to the flustered woman, who was being attended to by the other staff. It was like once again we had vanished into thin air before the receptionists' eyes! I had to interrupt AGAIN to ask what our room number was and where we should go to get to the room. Oy... There is a breakfast room offering a nice place to sit, dishes, and coffee/hot water 24/7. Sadly they do not offer breakfast in this room yet, it is bagged breakfast dropped at your door, which of course they don't tell you until after booking. I quite dislike this, given multiple food sensitivities (they never ask, by the way) and just general waste. This was the experience, the bagged breakfast was definitely below average, muffins were inedible. There is an envelope to tip the housekeeper, but housekeeping did not visit once, not even to empty garbage, nor were we ever offered fresh towels or anything during our 3 night stay. We're pretty low maintenance, but I'm surprised no one even knocked or called. It's a small place, only 24 rooms, why such poor communication with the guests? Nice hotel, great location, needs better service.

"There were few options near old Quebec City since I booked the room only about a month before our trip. Thankfully, the room exceeded our expectations. Even though it is in the hotel's basement, the room felt open and airy. The decor was very cool and modern, the staff warm and gracious, the food delicious (especially the croissants). Since I missed my Westie, I appreciated the company of the hotel owner's dog :-) Note the neighborhood is a bit posh and worth exploring, particularly National Battlefields Park. Tip: The best meal we had on vacation was not in touristy old Quebec City, but in Le Moine Echanson, which is walking distance from C3 Hotel Art De Vivre."
