Best Hotels near L＇espace contemporain, Quebec City

You can park on the roadside. The train station is about 10 minutes walk past the ancient city, but not too far from the ancient city, about 10 minutes away from the supermarket. They are all flat roads and do not need to climb mountain roads.

The breakfast was not worth almost $40 person. The parking lot are very small and scary at night. I don’t really feel safe—there was nobody in the area at all. If park on the higher floor, there is no elevator from the 10th up. Better load the luggages before parking.

The hotel is quite close to the attractions. There are restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. Did not go to breakfast, the Queen bed is very comfortable and the space is very large. The environment and layout are very comfortable, the staff understand English and French and are very welcoming. And the hotel rooms are relatively quiet.

I booked this hotel the night prior. I wasn’t expecting much since i never heard of this place, let alone was a last minute booking. But much to our surprise, it turns out memorable for our family. It was very “homey”, it reminds me of another hotel we booked from the past in Venice, its small but very central, it comes with breakfast and their tiny dining area is cute. The front desk is friendly and personable, its why we enjoyed boutique hotels in the first place. They have their own parking, make sure that after you made a reservation that you call them right away to save you a spot. They have a vending machine for wines and other provisions too. No problem coming back to this hotel next time again.

Half way through our stay here. The rooms are lovely and clean, and updated to modern expectations in an old building. Staff have been wonderful. Really good value for money. The only downside so far has been the restaurant (Louise Taverne &Bar a Vin). As we were checking in to the hotel this morning, other customers told us the place is lovely but not to eat here. We decided to go anyway, just wanting a drink while we waited for our laundry to dry… and we may have thought about eating there if all was ok. We were totally ignored, despite trying to attract the attention of the man in charge of the outside area (around a dozen tables, four of which were occupied). We asked someone else if we could sit down. They referred us to him. We waited while he cleaned a couple of tables, walked past us to talk to someone, walked inside and fiddled around in there for a while, walked out again and cleaned a couple more tables, went round us to get to another table where he rearranged the setting. Walked back to near where we were standing and then turned around to chat to some people he had served since we had been there. Don’t know what sort of self-important trip he was on but we left and will not return. But… that led to a delightful experience at 900 Rue Saint-Paul across the road (separate review coming).

This place is really special. They have a gracious, energetic staff who provide attentive but unpretentious hospitality. Room was meticulously clean and the whole place is beautifully decorated. Location is great - it’s at the bottom of the big hill, in a relatively quiet part of the old town, however just a couple of blocks from the Petite Champlain (get up early to avoid crowds there - at 7am I took photos with no one in them and got a nice coffee). This was a splurge for me, but I won’t ever forget staying here.

The arrival at the hotel started badly with a young receptionist full of germs she kept spreading in her tissue and around (as if we did not just get out of a pandemic that showed us how far any virus can travel) and she started laughing at me in French (assuming that I do not speak over 10 languages including French) saying that I want a room taken by another customer: how rude of her to assume that. The older manager thankfully intervened and the room we checked in via the app was given to us, explaining to the manager, however sick from the road I was, that we did not want something extraordinary: - the room had the lines of the newly built hotels we stayed in the USA and just like in the USA, this room proved to have poor insulation between rooms, slamming doors and the trepidation noises on the hallways to make stuff vibrate in the room. Thankfully everything stopped soon after 10pm and we had a good night sleep only disturbed by the construction next door the following morning, however quiet those people were trying to operate their machinery - parking at the back of the hotel is safe and thankfully Google satellite helped us immensely with travelling to and from Quebec City trying to avoid the major road works happening just about everywhere - the hotel is located near a major shopping area and a Walmart great with icecreams and drinks we always like having - breakfast at the hotel included warm items and it was varied although people kept taking multiple tables to sit and talk: I guess the lower floors were rather busy since we hardly heard any talk up our floor - the manager was kind in thinking of sending a warm up gift, although I wish the young female receptionist would receive further training and stopped assuming things she wanted to assume about customers who effectively pay her salary

The hotel is not in Quebec, but it is very close by car, about 8 or 9 minutes, it is still very convenient, there is almost no walk around, because I arrive at the hotel in the evening and check out the next morning, so it doesn’t matter, the room is quite big and the accommodation conditions Not bad!

This hotel is located just across the road from the Esplanade Park with several of the attractions in old Quebec City within walking distance. It also houses an Asian restaurant named “Apsara” which is immensely popular and is full of customers every evening. Dealing with this hotel even before we showed up had been quite satisfactory as we had to change our dates that were accommodated. We received the most needed help from this hotel when we were lost and couldn’t find our way to the hotel (when we were actually within 2/3 minutes’ walking distance from the hotel). I walked to the hotel while my wife was in the car a few hundred meters away, and a young employee of the hotel accompanied me to my car and led me to the parking spot that was arranged with another hotel quite close by. We had a long and tiring day and this gesture helped us tremendously. As requested, we were allotted a room upstairs overlooking Esplanade park. Nice room, bathroom, window and flowers ! Bed was comfortable and we slept peacefully. Breakfast was a little disappointing as it was very basic and consisted of bread, butter, jam, cereal, muffin, coffee etc. It would have been perfect if they included something hot – at least eggs, if not bacon and sausage. However, it was a welcoming experience spending a couple of nights here !

Service was good and the room was clean. Staff here were friendly, bilingual, speaking French and English. The price was great too.
