Hotels near Laval University, Quebec City

Requested for view of the old Quebec and was given it. Bed was nice and room was clean despite the hotel being a little old. Huge garden beside and walkable distance to all old Quebec attractions.

The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. It is within walking distance of all the major attractions in Quebec City. The building is an older building with so much character and, I feel, so much wasted potential. While our beds were clean and comfortable the rest of the room was quite dirty and run down. If you walked barefoot on the floor your feet became immediately dirty. There was a previous guests fake eyelashes and coffee stains on the window sill. I’ve been a housekeeper in a historic building so I do understand the work and maintenance required to keep them clean and fresh, and was disappointed that this building isn’t being kept at its best.

Great location: 10-15 min walk to the old city Spectacular view: My husbnd and I stayed at a old city / river view room Great restaurant in the Looby: we arrived at the hotel around 9:30pm, didn’t have much option for late dinner. We had ‘Beef Cheek’ and ‘Black Cod’ at Cabu. Food was amazing! We loved food so much, went back to their grab & go/ coffee bar after we checked out. Other things: Nice to have Nespresso machine and Crabtree amenities

Standard hotel chain, relatively new, clean and sanitary, the staff are very enthusiastic, the mattress springs have abnormal noise, the breakfast is standard American style, relatively simple, it is located on the No. 1 roadside, very convenient for passing by.

We picked this ”manoir” because of its location, and because of the nice reviews we read on Tripadvisor. We were in for a surprise. The asian man at the reception was very friendly, and kept our luggages until the room was ready and offered to put our suitcases in the room when ready. He gave us the key of the room and off we went to visit beautiful Quebec. The positive: the location (very central in the old town, you can walk pretty much to any touristic spot), friendly staff and a comfortable bed. The negative: when we came back, we opened the door of the room, only to be faced with a steep staircase (with no railing). Our room was IN THE BASEMENT. A very tiny window with a AC unit taking most of the space, janky finishes (the coffee bags look straight from Costco, the hangers in the closet were mismatched and straight from a nearby drycleaning shop), veryyy low ceiling with pipes running through it, even smaller celing in the bathroom (my head touched it and I am only 5ft8), no place to put the towels to dry, no room service (we stayed 3 days and they didn't do the beds, or change the towels or anything...) The very negative: there was a lot of noise coming from the street, and there was also a dead cockroach at the bottom of the stairs in the room (see pic) So based on MY experience, I wouldn't recommend this place, and I certainly won't come back there. We managed to make the best of it and to enjoy the beautiful city tho (we tried to spend as less time in the basement as possible).

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

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).

After checking in at the Econo Lodge Quebec City Airport- 7320 Wilfred-Hamel Boulevard, my sister and I, and her 4 year son settled into our room. Once we got into bed, I felt something underneath the fitted mattress sheet. I stuck my hand underneath to retrieve it, and it was a 8 inch switch blade. It was on top of the mattress cover and under the fitted sheet. There are two problems here: A. Safety- Thank god the switch blade was closed and not open, and that my 4 year old nephew did not find it and hurt himself with it. B. Hygiene- There is no way housekeeping did not see the switch blade when removing the sheets from the previous hotel guest; therefor, the sheets were likely not changed. We reported it to the hotel front desk staff. They simply told us that they would try to contact the previous hotel guest to return the knife. We requested that the manager call us when available. The hotel manager called us and told us we should have requested to change rooms. It was late and my 4 year old nephew was sleeping after a long day of travel. This is unacceptable and certainly not the hospitable standards that a hotel should carry. The manager refused to reimburse us for the room and did not apologize. I would never recommend this hotel due to its very low safety and hygiene standards.

Stayed August 2024. Check-in and out was easy. Room was clean, beds and pillows comfortable. The high ceilings are very nice. Front desk lent us a block as there’s no usb port in the room. A very good breakfast with loads of variety served with a smile. We really wanted to swim. Hot tub was hot. Pool water was not moving and had gobs of hair and spit floating on top. Went to the desk for a chat and the next morning water was moving and clear and we could smell the chlorine so someone had attended to it. Too late for us so we were disappointed but hopefully the next guests enjoyed it.

The room is not too big, but the bed is very big, one double for three people, the bathroom is big enough; there is always hot water and coffee, there is drink in the morning; during the stay, it should be the Italian restaurant under the same company. Discount breakfast coupons, recommended to eat, add a tip, tax or something, a person more than ten Canadian dollars, the value; parking free, a few simple meals around; a few kilometers from the old city, but it is not far. Very satisfied.
