Ideally located in the historic district of Pointe-au-Pic in La Malbaie, the Castel de la Mer Hotel offers easy access to all the major sights and activities that Charlevoix is known for. Only 200 meters from the majestic St. Lawrence River, the hotel is conveniently located at the crossroad of Pointe-au-Pic’s main street and the panoramic Road 362. Nearby, you will find plenty of dining options that are accessible by foot and a small shopping center as well. The Casino de Charlevoix is only a short distance from Le Castel de la Mer, as is the Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu and its renowned golf course. Our strategic position in the heart of Charlevoix makes our hotel the best base point possible for exploring everything the region has to offer. Whether you come to Charlevoix for the whale watching excursions, the beautiful sceneries, the art galleries, the two national parks and their great hiking trails, the ski centers or a snowmobile excursion, you’re always just a short distance away from the main points of interests when you stay at our hotel.

Detailed Reviews

The Inn-Motel Castel de la Mer is an Inn where we stop one or more nights when we decide to sleep in La Malbaie. With each visit, we choose a Superior Studio except in 2019, with a king bed and mini-kitchen in a unit located on the ground floor. A table, two armchairs and a large desk complete the studio.
What we appreciate about this property is the omnipresence of cleanliness of the room and the entire resort and the tranquility of the site. In addition, every time we visit there are always additions. When we were there in mid-June, the establishment was finalizing the installation in the backyard of 2 new very modern cottages. I imagine these must be available at the time of writing.
The +: we can walk to several restaurants located near the Pension as well as to the Museum of Charlevoix, the Jetty, the Manoir Richelieu and the Casino.

After 7 days in Gaspesie, we were stopping here on our way home. Glad we chose this place. Lovely reception and very clean. The receptionist gave us restaurant and activities recommendations. The room we had with two queen bed had comfortable mattresses, was extremely clean and sufficiently furnished. The room also had a view of the bay and opened to a shared patio with dining tables and a propane firepit.
Highly recommend!

We stayed at Castel de la Mer for three nights in July 2023. We had a ground floor studio equipped with a mini kitchen and a king bed. A table, two armchairs and a desk completed the studio. The bathroom, for its part, was equipped with a bath-shower.
The +: cleanliness throughout the hotel complex and in the rooms, small refrigerator, luggage rack, laminate flooring as well as access to the Jardin du Castel which offers a rest area with B.B.Q. and the possibility of playing pétanque.
As the Castel de la Mer is located on Rue Richelieu, it is easy to access the Petit Parc de l'Abbé Paul located opposite the church to see one of the five projections of Cité Mémoire Charlevoix. The multimedia projection located there is entitled Les Muses de Charlevoix. The other screenings take place at the Charlevoix Museum, the path located between Parc du Havre and Cap Blanc, the Cap Blanc rock and the Charlevoix Casino.

Very nice duvet, warm, dinette area with bench seat, all the dishes with toaster oven, microwave, induction hob, the only thing missing is the food. Beautiful large bedroom, nice bathroom. Possibility of having a studio with a view of the river. It is certain that we will return, the young girl at the reception very welcoming

2 nights spent with family (2 adults and 2 children) in a spacious room on the ground floor overlooking the river.
The bedding is good. However, road traffic is heard and the view of the river is very limited.
Reception staff attentive and smiling.
It was easy to park inside the Pension.
Award is a little high compared to the Inn's services.

Family of four with young kids (10,5), roadtrip in Saguenay and Charlevoix, August 2020.
I didn't expect much of the place and was pleasantly surprised. It's cute, super well located, nice clean rooms, super comfortable bed and pillows.
Just a fantastic little Quebec Motel, after visiting, I understand why it's been around forever!

Nice welcome at reception. Our room was spacious and lacking in nothing. Close to several very good restaurants and others. On the other hand, the walls aren't thick... But it's still a beautiful place. Very fast internet. We recommend.

L'hôtel ne sert plus de petit-déjeuner depuis quelques années. Cependant, quelques restaurants situés à quelques pas servent le petit-déjeuner. Nous sommes allés au restaurant Chez Truchon à l'été 2022 et à l'été 2023 et le petit-déjeuner offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Dans les studios avec un lit King, il s'agit de cafetières Keurig.
