Hotel du Vieux Quebec

We recently stayed for multiple days on a short trip to QC. Overall, the experience was fine with a few caveats. Most importantly and positively, the room was spacious and furnished with a king bed with a great mattress & bed linens. Every morning my husband would comment on the comfort level of the bed.

The bathroom was similarly equipped with a good-size stall shower, with ample hot water and water pressure (once we figured out the controls for the water). The bath linens were a bit thin and skimpy, but not awful. However, unless you deposited them on the floor each morning, the staff would not change them (even though there was no signage in the room to that effect).

There was a nice size sitting area, equipped with an attractive, ultra-modern looking love seat, easy chair, and coffee table. Unfortunately, the style of the furniture was wholly nonfunctional and uncomfortable. The chair and loveseat were quite low to the ground with no arms. The coffee table was positioned a fair distance from the love seat and chairs. This was awkward for consuming the "room service" breakfast that is included with the room rate (more on the breakfast below). There were no outlets for recharging devices that were within easy reach of any of these furnishings.

The hotel includes a complementary with the room rate, that is delivered each morning at 7am (left in a basket outside the room). The food included in the basket was acceptable but not great. Pastries (croissant and other puff pastries like Pain au Chocolat) were of a very middling quality. Also included were Greek Yogurt (Oikos vanilla), juice, small packages of a mild cheese, and clementines. No coffee (or tea) is delivered with the breakfast. Rather, the room was equipped with a small drip coffee maker and ground coffee in filter packages that delivered absolutely dreadful coffee. Alternately, one can obtain better quality coffee from a machine in the lounge on the lobby level, with a choice of latte, cappuccino, espresso, or Americano. We were staying on the 4th floor so getting one's morning coffee from the lounge was inconvenient; however, after the 1st morning's subpar experience with the drip coffee from the in-room machine, I rode down on the elevator each morning with the empty coffee pot from the room and filled it with 4 cups of latte.

The hotel fronts on very busy street with lots of bars, chain restaurants, souvenir shops, etc. — i.e., a very tacky collection of "tourist traps."

Would I stay there again? Perhaps. I'd want to compare the room rates for hotels located in a more quiet location.

My wife and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding service we received during our recent stay at Hotel Du Vieux from July 23–25.
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by your staff, whose friendliness made us feel at home. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. My wife especially appreciated the thoughtful welcome basket waiting for us upon our arrival; a gracious touch.
Please extend our thanks to everyone who helped make our visit so memorable.
We look forward to returning to Hotel Du Vieux on future visits to your wonderful city.

A perfect boutique hotel in the middle of Old Quebec. I can understand why it’s rated #1. The room was well-appointed w espresso machine, fridge, seating area and lovely bathtub. Charming lounge on first floor has a killer espresso machine. The staff are beyond helpful and there’s hotel parking around the corner. There’s room in front of the hotel to temporarily unpack your car, just pull up in front. Hotel staff will assist with parking which is just around the corner. There’s even an apiary on the roof as part of an urban farming scheme, and the hotel sells its own honey. The bistro in front offers a charming sidewalk dining experience. Note: if you’re one of those Americans who thinks a “luxury” hotel should have a state of the art gym, this is not that. It’s a European-style hotel.

What a wonderful experience staying at Hotel du Vieux for 3 nights. My wife and I loved this place. The building might be old but the rooms (or at least our king corner room) and the lobby are beautifully renovated with so many practical touches.

Our room was gorgeous, with hardwood floors, exposed stone and brick on one of the walls, excellent and quiet HVAC, a small seating area, ample lighting, comfortable bed, and quality pillows (which, let’s face it, many hotels do not have). The only caveat is that there is a substantially deep and tall lip on the tub/shower, shown in the picture. My wife and I could each get over it, and thereby in and out of the shower, without too much trouble, but I can imagine many folks would find it challenging or impossible due to mobility or balance issues.

The lobby has a spacious lounge with lots of seating and an espresso/coffee machine. We sat down there a few times to rest midday because we had been doing so much walking around the city. Many rave about the breakfast basket that can be delivered to your room. The contents were not to my taste, but my wife liked it. It’s a nice touch, and there are plenty of restaurants serving fuller breakfast options within walking distance.

Everything about this experience was amazing. So easy to communicate by email to book and for questions before we got there. Underground parking a block away. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. Extra nice to have the 'lounge' on the main floor for coffee and a place to bring our meals if wanted.
Perfect location - did not need to drive anywhere, but it was quiet so great for sleeping.
This is my new go to place to stay in Quebec. Enjoy!!

We stayed for 6 nights at this hotel and loved every minute of it. We stayed so many nights that we found out the manager had given us an upgraded room to ensure our comfort while there at no extra charge! It was quiet, clean and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for sightseeing right out the front door. The breakfast basket was such a treat in the morning and the downstairs gathering room was awesome with coffee, tea, fruit, etc. All the excellent reviews I read were absolutely true. So glad we stayed here!

This hotel is perfectly located near restaurants and shops. The rooms are clean and everything works great! The hotel staff went out of their way to be helpful and kind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I are so glad we chose this hotel. Great location, parking is convenient, our king bed room with fireplace and large screen TV is perfect. The staff could not be nicer, especially Pierre who will give you spot on recommendations for restaurants. Breakfast is delivered to your door each morning at 7 am in a picnic basket. Look no further.

Stayed here 5 nights. Location is great, in the heart of everything yet it’s quiet. We’d planned to stay 2 nights but extended our stay and got upgraded to a bigger room. The staff is wonderful, especially Pierrot. He went above and beyond.

Exceptional Stay in the Heart of Old Québec

L'Hôtel du Vieux-Québec was our home for a six-day holiday in Québec City, and we could not have chosen a better place to stay.

Our double queen room with kitchenette was spacious, immaculately clean, quiet, and exceptionally comfortable. After long days exploring the city, we particularly appreciated the deep soaking tub, the rainfall shower, and what may have been some of the best water pressure we've experienced in a hotel anywhere. Small details matter, and this hotel gets them right.

The location is fantastic--perfectly situated within Old Québec and within easy walking distance of the city's historic sites, restaurants, shops, and attractions. Despite being in the heart of everything, the hotel was remarkably peaceful and quiet.

One of our favorite amenities was the guest lounge and its outstanding coffee machine, which quickly became part of our daily routine. We also opted for the breakfast package, and it was a delight. Each morning we awoke to a basket of fresh breakfast goodies hanging on our door: fresh pastries, juice, yogurt, and other treats. We never tired of it. As a fun local note, visitors should know that the beloved pain au chocolat is called a "chocolatine" here, just as it is in the south of France!

What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its people. M. Pierrôt deserves special recognition. He was warm, helpful, knowledgeable, and always greeted us with a genuine smile. In truth, every member of the staff we encountered embodied the hotel's reputation for friendly, personalized service.

We also appreciated staying in a property with such a rich history. Built on land once known as the "Garden of the Poor," where medicinal plants were cultivated by the Augustines of the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, the site has witnessed centuries of Québec City's evolution. Today, the hotel beautifully blends that historic character with modern comfort and thoughtful amenities and is very reasonable as well.

It is easy to understand why L'Hôtel du Vieux-Québec has earned such an outstanding reputation among travelers. For us, it was the perfect base from which to explore one of North America's most beautiful and historic cities. We would not hesitate to stay here again and recommend it enthusiastically to anyone visiting Québec City.

A sincere thank you to M. Pierrôt and the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We hope to return again soon.

Beautiful, huge modern room in an 18th century building! Great location within the walls of the old city. Very helpful staff.

We just spent 4 days at this hotel and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The hotel is lovely and in a great central location. The room was outfitted with everything you might need. I like that they had a coffee maker and a separate tea kettle. We enjoyed the breakfast very much. I would like to say a special thank you to the front desk, they were very helpful.

Very convenient location. I liked the lounge area and board games on the ground floor. The bed was very comfortable.

This was an amazing place. Really recommend it.

One of those outstanding places you can’t wait to recommend to friends. Such a welcoming greeting at the front desk, with an introduction to the hotel and amenities available to us. They have that confidence that you will love your stay that is infectious! Our room was actually available even though it was before noon and we had only intended to leave our bags.
We enjoyed the comfortable room, unique and spacious (even with 4 of us!), and with water, kettle, coffee maker, couch. The sitting area (really much more of a living room than a lobby!) has comfortable seating, the espresso/cappuccino/latte machine, fruit, plus local and classic books and many board games available.
Breakfast (in a wicker basket, with croissants, juice, yogurt, local cheese, etc) was hearty as well as a fun delivery. If we had not been departing town, it would have easily served as two meals of the day! (And we went and collected cappuccinos from the sitting room to have with it!)
Beautiful location, very walkable to local sites. We also walked to and from the train station and cruise port - that’s a pretty steep hill, so would only suggest it if your luggage is portable and the weather is good, but certainly feasible!

The hotel is well located and we enjoyed the breakfast in a basket each morning (croissants, jam, yogurt, juice). Front desk staff were very professional and warm. There are coffee makers and tea kettles in the room, as well as an espresso maker and fruit in the first floor lounge. The room and bathroom were immaculate. Kudos to the cleaning team!

Our only issue is that you're not able to pick a specific room beyond room type, such as Superior or Deluxe. They let you know in advance that they can't guarantee a specific room based on photos on their website or asking for a front or corner room. As we learned, some of the tables are lower and it makes eating in the room a bit awkward. The lounge is available, but we preferred staying in our room for breakfast. I would absolutely stay here again, but it is something to be aware of.

Beautiful hotel with excellent staff. The room was absolutely lovely and had a really nice feel to it. Quiet & chilled atmosphere. They also sell honey which they make themselves

We stayed three nights in a superior room on the third floor and everything was great. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. It was very quiet in our room even though they were remodeling the 4th floor. The breakfast basket option was very convenient and glad we made that choice. The folks at the front desk were friendly and helpful, particularly Pierre (sp? Not sure the name is quite right) during the evenings who went out of his way to make sure the temperature in our room was just right. The hotel is centrally located within walking distance of all the sights. A great stay.

My 78 year old mother and I had 4 wonderful nights at this beautiful hotel and could not speak more highly of it. In a perfect position, our room was modern, comfortable and larger than most other twin-double rooms I've stayed in. Reception staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We spent two nights at this lovely hotel. Weather did not cooperate but we had wonderful time. We paid for the "small queen room" which turned out to be a decent size with closets and everything we needed during the stay. We used the lounge for both breakfast and dinner. It was well decorated with a fireplace and comfortable chairs and tables. Location of the hotel is close to everywhere. We will recommend this hotel to everyone who visit Quebec City.
