Auberge Bonsecours

Best Reception

The saltwater pool was a real bonus for such an inexpensive hotel. I chose the hotel for its cost effectiveness and was not disappointed. However, the cab rides into the old city of Quebec used up the savings...for this reason alone I would pay the extra next time and choose a hotel more central.

It's a lovely boutique hotel, well furnished, well-decorated and comfortable. The owner was also very helpful in the matter of receiving a box sent for me by courier and even helped me in carrying it to the convention centre. The most inconvenient part is that there is no staff available at the front desk between 10 pm and 8 am. If you need to go out at 7:30am and want to communicate with hotel staff, it's just not possible unless you want to write a letter and keep it at the desk (but you will only see the reply after you come back!). My return flight was early in the morning. When I left, leaving the key at the front desk, dragging my suitcases out into the empty street outside, I was a little worried about what to do if I did not get a taxi to the airport. There was absolutely no one around to even ask for help. I wish there would be someone in the hotel who can be called if one needs help at odd hours. Feels eerie otherwise.

The location is perfect for walking in Vieux Montreal. Overall, the auberge is extremely charming and complete in what it offers. Our room/bathroom was uncomfortably small (rm. #1) and crowded before we were even in it with our suitcases, etc. Also poorly located by the entrance, so that we heard late night arrivals, door bell ringing, conversation, etc. We were told that owner is planning to change this room and expand rest of hotel. I'm sure other rooms are better.

Great location. Pretty facility, with beautiful breakfast room Our first floor room, room number 1, was tiny. Too small and too noisy a location. If you book through booking.com and get lowest rate, this is the room they book. Other rooms better size and location, and worth the money
