Great location, righ on one of the best streets of Quebec City, close to the Plaine d'Abraham. This small hotel is very clean and the bed was super comfortable. Perfect for a couple on a romantic week end in Quebec City. My only complaint is that breakfast is only served at 8am, wich was too late for me.

We reserved for breakfast, it was my first choice and I asked my group to meet there. Greeted with authority by a mature woman employee, we felt like being there today was “annoying” for the staff. We needed to call several times to get a coffee refill, only to be told “ too busy now; we will come back later” It wasn’t a quiet day, but there were empty tables. Disappointed visit. This place is losing its charm.

I used to live in QC and am a native French speaker - this was no misunderstanding. I feel like a fool for not researching this place better and believing the top reviews. I care for an elderly parent and now live across the country. I booked this Cafe Auberge on this visit because I wanted the boutique/neighbourhood feel and have a mini vacation. Did not happen. The good: You would be on a cool street with lots of arts, cafe, restaurants… walking distance to Grande Allée and the old town (15-20 minute walk). Food is ok and most of the staff was quite pleasant. The bad: the noise & customer service. I had the room above the cafe. As soon as the staff entered at 6AM, don’t even think about sleeping. They are cleaning and setting up, moving chairs/tables around enough to vibrate your mattress and pillow on top of the noise. Since it is a busy street and the restaurant is opened at night, you won’t go to bed super early either. I slept 7 hours total in 2 nights. As I was trying to checkout early, being RIGHT was very important to the manager. She invented an “altercation” (her word) where there as none, in an effort to make me feel like I was stupid and difficult. I did say she needed to work on her customer service skills. I worked in the hospitality industry for 10 years, I have never spoken to anyone like I was spoken to here. I was just exhausted and expressing myself and all of a sudden, she started to tell me off and stared me down with all the self righteousness and superiority she could muster. The ugly: Now, since the whole staff kept repeating they never had a noise complaint before like drones, I smelled a rat and went on google reviews, tripadvisor, and booking.com and filtering on the negative reviews, I found numerous reviews of people who complained of very bad noises from all rooms for different reasons and all were told the same thing I was: never had a complaint before. Very similar experience in both French and English. So lying to you, making you feel small and stupid seem to be the norm here. There is no parking here. Your options are: hope for a spot on a tight side streets where you will have 90 minutes free parking between 9 and 5 on weekdays. This is a busy area and I had to circle around a while and walk with my luggage and keep time to make sure I didn't stay over 90 minutes in the same spot. You can ask the Shell station nearby who will let you park there for $10 or find a regular pay parking lot (not sure about in and out privileges). There are a few metered street parking. I moved to a real hotel on Boulevard Laurier, clean and quiet property with free parking for $40 less a night - booked last minute as I was checking out of this one. And I don't have to stress out about getting a ticket. ___ Très bruyant et mauvais service à la clientele de la gérante. Pas de stationnement Je ne recommande pas.…

Went there many times but I wont return. Room was noisy in the morning and i couldn't sleep in...on a Sunday morning on vacations, well it sucks! The TV was like watching a 60s TV , ask for help but I was told the tech guy will come this week. Overall, disappointing.

The location is lovely - it feels a bit like you're out of the main tourist area, and this is a cute little village high street. The room was a fine size as was the bathroom. Guests are provided with pretty much everything you could need, and it was very clean. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful, and it was the best coffee I have had in Quebec. I'm not sure what others have been unhappy about. Would have liked access to tea, but coffee was available in the morning. There was a little noise from outside the room during the day, but it wasn't a problem when trying to sleep at night. Probably the only real complaint is the lack of friendliness/warmth from the staff. Felt more like an inconvenience than a guest.

We stayed 3 nights at Auberge Krieghoff and this was anything but a good experience. The room was very small and dusty. But if only that! There's a very bright light just in front of the window staying on all night, the curtains are too small to cover the windows (and too far from the wall anyway, so the light shines through). When we brought the issue to the night manager, he gave us a blanket to try and cover up the window (see pictures). He also had the nerve to tell us that "it is a city", like it explains it all. If that's an issue you know about, fix your windows! If you don't know about it, then that's even worse: you ought to know what you rent! Shall I also mention the noise? The room is not insulated, the walls are thinner than Japanese paper and two huge AC units standing just outside the room played their melody all night long. I barely had any sleep at all. Last, breakfast is not included as mentioned on Booking: you only receive a 12$ voucher per person when most options are above 13$ (not including taxes or tip of course). The waiters are not briefed correctly and although orange juice was supposed to be included, they wanted to charge us for it. I found this place very greedy. This definitely was not a good experience! This hotel is not cheap at all, and at that price point it felt like a total rip-off.…

This is a wonderful establishment. We stayed in the hotel. The room was small but well-appointed and very cozy. The bed was soooooo comfortable. And although Cartier Ave is really busy; great people watching, our room was quiet. We used the air conditioning because the days we stayed were very hot and it, too, was quiet. Breakfast was in the café and it was a treat: melt in your mouth pain doré, choice of juice (I had cranberry) and excellent coffee. Service also was excellent. The Café is very busy and staff were welcoming, efficient and attentive. We returned for lunch one day and supper the next. Both meals were fresh, beautifully presented and delicious. Really, this place is a gem
