Hotel Louisbourg

After reading many really bad reviews left by travellers last year on Google, I was kind of weary to book a room there. But since a friend of mine was already renting a room there for already a few days before I got there, he told me everything was fine and not to worry. After checking in at the address besides the hotel, we were given our key, and made our way up some steep steps, along windind corridors inside this quaint, century old building. Once in the room, which was small but functional, I first noticed how clean everything was; the bathroom was impeccable and rhe bedding tidy, just as you would expect. I was happily surprised once I got in my room and it made our stay that much more pleasant! This is a "self-serve" kind of place: there is no cleaning staff that comes and makes your bed and cleans the room every day, and cheking out is simply leaving your keys in a small basket before the exit door. When checking in, you are given a breakfast coupon per day, which you have at the restaurant just below the hotel, and it did not disappoint: you have 5 choices of a fixed menu, like 1 egg, bacon, home fries, toast and coffee or yogourt and fruit, or crepes ( French, thin pancakes), etc. The only thing that is missing is parking, which is available at a 5 minute walk, ar a public parking lot. I would also recommend this place for its location, since you are right in the middle of the old walled city, which you walk into right from the hotel's front door!

Great location with tons of restaurants everywhere! Great breakfast at the restaurant, close to all shopping, bus tours, seconds away from water view! Beds were comfy, nice AC, as it was quite muggy during the summertime in July. Rooms had hairdryer, shower amenities as well.

Our stay was very pleasant and unique overall. However, the layout was quite confusing, as the reception and guest rooms are located in two separate buildings. Parking was also inconvenient, requiring us to leave our car about two blocks away, which made unloading our luggage difficult. There was no breakfast offered, but since the hotel is located in Old Québec, there are plenty of excellent cafés and restaurants within walking distance, so finding breakfast wasn’t a problem.

It was a great location and good deal with a breakfast include.
