Good for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Very good for the price. It's an old house converted to a small hotel. I have stayed in a few of these types of hotels in Quebec City and this one is less charming than the others but also better price. The room was clean and comfortable, my only complaint is that the building is not secured so anyone can come in through the front door at night (and there are no staff on premise). But there is a deadbolt on each room door so not a big deal.

This B&B’s only saving grace is its location. It was a value for the location, but not the amenities (or lack there of). The room was outdated but clean, shower was decent, bed was comfortable and had an extra blanket and flat pillow. Communication was sparse to difficult. Email response was over 24 hrs. It was hard finding the right phone number. When we did call, we left several messages with no response. There was a water cooler on each floor, but not plugged in so there was no hot water. We later learned that the only coffee pot was in the kitchen but it didn’t seem like it was meant for public use. We decided to go out for breakfast each day. Will not stay there again.

Our room was very huge and ceiling is very high which is very comfortable--. We had free parking. Breakfast was fantastic,many fresh fruits and different eggs cooking. . I loved the location no need to drive all sightseeing places are within walking distance. , I would definitely go back!

The place needs total renovation urgently. Maintenance at best is a very poor DIY standard. Plaster is falling off the bathroom ceiling. This is no more than a two star place so to describe it as 4 star is deception. The Internet and AC worked well and it's only 30 minutes walk to the old town. As soon as you see the front door you will realise you have made a mistake booking this place.

My spouse and I had a 4 day stay at Manoir Mon Calme on the advice of friends, who had been there a few years ago. The location is perfect: in a quieter neighborhood a short walk from the tourist filled walled city, adjacent to the many restaurants on the Grande Allee, and a short walk to the eateries and shops on Avenue Cartier and to the art museum. The lovely Jardins de Jean D’Arc is almost in the backyard. The house is a 19th century town house, and our room (front on the first floor) was large with exposed brick walls, mantelpiece, high ceilings and a bay window overlooking the Grande Allee. The bathroom was equally large. The free on site parking is a plus.
For us the heart and soul of a B&B is the enthusiasm of its host in welcoming and meeting the needs of his/her guests. We have come to expect warmth & conversation, helpful hints for getting about, tips on the hidden gems and the tourist traps, help with figuring out bus routes and fares, etc. We also expect a clean and welcoming environment, a place we can relax in and enjoy time together, Sadly, Manoir Mon Calme has no heart or soul. We understand that the owner/manager our friends knew has moved on. The new owner/manager is simply not suited for the hospitality industry.
We arrived at the standard Canada check in time of 4 PM: our welcome from the owner/manager was a deadpan “Oh…. You’re here.” We were shown to our room, given our keys, had the house rules explained. He then told us that since we were the only guests expected that day & he lived off site he was therefore leaving. We could reach him by cell phone if we really needed to. That was the last we saw of him.
Our room had clearly not been dusted for some time: there was a thick layer of dust on the mantle, and the setting sun highlighted the dust on the chair rungs and table legs. The broad white marble window sills were covered with a film of black grit that stained my trousers when I knelt there to pry open the one working window. The large closet contained only 2 hangers, the toilet tank had an audible, visible drip that generated two different puddles on the floor. We’d hoped to sit, enjoy some wine and watch the world go by outside -- but the only chairs in the room were two straight backed faux Shaker chairs with rush seats -- penitential at best, and even with bed pillows piled on them not a comfortable place to sit. Oh – and there were Christmas decorations in the hall, coated with 9 month’s worth of dust.
Breakfast and cleaning duties were shared by an Oriental couple whose ability to speak or understand English or our fractured French was minimal. They wore the same dirty, stained flannel “dorm pants” and sweaters every day. Breakfast was a plate of little bits of fruit (half a small banana, half an orange slice, one strawberry, half a very thin slice of melon, etc.) and a single serving plastic wrapped tiny piece of cheese, accompanied by a small warm croissant (the bottom of which was usually scorched). This was followed by a small omelet or similar offering serve on a small bread and butter plate and always folded very, very square. There appeared to be an unwritten rule that the fruit and croissant must be finished before the omelet could be served: the server would not bring the one until the other was finished. Serving it all on one plate so that it looked like bounty instead of rations doesn’t seem to have occurred to them. Odd at the least; inhospitable certainly.
Our friends were aghast when they heard: their experience under the previous owner was completely opposite. We shall not return, neither shall they. The new owner bought himself a small gem it seems, and is letting it turn into yet another dusty, shabby Quebec B&B. A real pity.

Jean-Pierre is, indeed, a wonderful host. Booking with him over the phone was very easy and he was extremely welcoming when we arrived. He was also quite helpful with information about Quebec City. He serves a fantastic breakfast in a charming room in the lower level of his home. Everyone in my family enjoyed the cafe-like setting and the delicious food. The free parking was a nice perk and we liked being able to walk one block to the Plains of Abraham. Our rooms were spacious and clean with lovely high ceilings. I do not agree with previous reviewers who described the rooms as "tastefully decorated" and "could have passed for an expensive hotel room". Our rooms were modestly decorated and had the basic necessities; I would describe them as adequate. The internet access did not work -- this didn't matter to us, but it may to some people. The foyer for the B&B is warm and welcoming; however, the front door and steps leading up to it were characterized by peeling paint and gave an initial impression of shabbiness. My main reservation about this B&B relates to its location. It is, indeed, in Old Quebec and therefore within a short walk to restaurants, the main attractions, and shopping. We very much appreciated being so close to everything. However, the location is not good for people who are light sleepers or who appreciate a little quiet at night, as there was a great deal of noise from the street and the surrounding neighborhood. I don't know if there was an outdoor cafe nearby or someone was entertaining at their home, but we were kept awake until the wee hours of the morning by the sounds of people laughing and talking loudly nearby. Also, Grande Allee Est is a major thoroughfare and Manoir Mon Calme is near an intersection with a traffic light. The noise of cars, trucks, and motorcycles motoring down Grande Allee Est, coming to a stop at the traffic light, and then accelerating away from the intersection did not make for a restful night. As I said, this would not be of concern to everyone. I rate this B&B only average for value. I am basing my opinion on the fact that we stayed in a much, much nicer hotel in Montreal the previous two nights for almost exactly the same price.

Accomodating of an early check in. A lovely old building. They were so heavily booked we had to have our breakfast served at a table in our room but this was fine and they were very apologetic about this. Easy walk down to the old town. Clean and comfortable.

This property is well located. But it is a disappointing experience. We were not welcomed by anyone, to receive the keys and info about the area. We arrived to a locked door with a code. We called the number next to the door to receive instructions of where our room was and how to enter and park. We had room 1 the first night. 2queen beds. There was dust about a century old covering the baseboards and the walls in the high traffic areas were dirty and hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. There is linoleum in the bathroom that had dark stains behind the toilet. The tile in the bath had very poor repair attempt to maintain..they haven't used any Clorox or tilex in years. Usually we try to take a b&b to have a better experience than the average hotel. But the average hotel is next door, the hotel concord. We checked it out, with a great views of the castle and very comfy beds, compared to manoir. Also the breakfast area looks nothing like the photo on the website. And it was a pitiful display for a b&b. All we spoke about with Jean Phillip is " do you want 1 or 2eggs?" Granola cereal looks like it's been there a while and no yogurt, bagels or crepes were offered in the 2 nights we stayed. Just eggs and French toast. If you are looking for friendly service and very pleasant staff. We stayed at duex lions our last nite. What a difference in rooms and staff. But further walk to the entrance of the old port. But you feel so much better about the money you spent was worth it than paying 220$ for 4 of us to be in one room with a roller bed that had outdoor lawn chair cushions as the mattress.spend your money to make yourself happy. And sleep well.

I usually have reservations (no pun intended) about Bed & Breakfasts. I like to come and go as I please without feeling I need to socialize with people I don't know or that I may potentially be waking somone up if I stroll in late from a litte "wine tasting" around the area I'm visiting, so needless to say, when my boyfriend booked this room for our stay (under the impression we could use our BednBreakfast.com gift cards) I was a little apprehensive.
First of all, the location is fantastic for a Bed & Breakfast, directly next to the Loews hotel (there's a through-road between them) this location is directly atop the city entrance on Grand Allee. Everything is walkable. If you're coming with a car, as we did, a parking space is included in your stay cost. The owners don't appear to live on premises, so you don't have that uneasy feeling of being "watched" the whole time. Not that we did anything sketchy, but to recount what I eluded to earlier, it's nicer (for some of us) when your on vacation to feel independent and not chaperoned. However, do be mindful that this is a very intimate setting, like staying in someone's "HOME", so you should still be mindful of other guests staying there (in otherwords, watch your noise factor). The gentleman that met us when we checked in (believe his name is Jean-Phillipe) was nice-enough (no overly chatty personality) and probably around our age (30's?). Very helpful, since they were unable to accomodate us in one room through our 3 night stay, they set us up in the nicer rooms (2 nights in 1 room, 1 night in another, both with bathrooms en-suite) when they incurred a cancelation.
The building is sort of like a townhouse manor, has 3 floors, the 2nd and 3rd being the entranceways and rooms (you can enter directly to your floor from one of the two entrance ways) and the breakfast room and internet are on the base/lower level floor.
This is an older building, so don't expect too much flair. However, if you are looking for charm, antiquity, character and creature comforts, you'll find them here. Free internet is provided, breakfast (of course, and it's not at a round table!), if you're a smoker you can smoke out on one of the terraces in the back, and parking is included.
All in all a lovely stay, for my first B&B experience, it was a pleasant surprise

Our family came back to Quebec again this year and stay the same B&B we stayed last year. Manoir Mon Calme has a great location nearby the old town, you could walk to most everywhere. Still free parking. If you drive, that's a lot of saving for parking fees. We also noticed the owner did a quite bit renovation and improvement inside the hotels. All the bathrooms were updated, brand new bedding for the bedrooms, and new flat panel TV (my kids loved it). Free internet connections. One more new thing needed to mention was that free long distance calls to US and Canada at the front desk, where is nice for the travelers from US and Canada. So we could make calls to families and friends without paying the outrage roaming charges.
