Le petit déjeuner était super ! Le l'emplacement était très bien... À 15-20 minutes de marche de la rue Cartier où il y a de très bons restos et bars... Près du musée des Beaux Arts (10 minutes à pied). Stationnement disponible. Un très beau B&B. J'y retournerais sans hésiter ! Rien.
• Ginette (10/5): Bel endroit pour un court séjour à Québec. - Propriétaire très accueillante. Petit déjeuner très varié et très bon. Lit confortable. Chambres très propres. Près des Plaines d’Abraham, idéal pour le patin à glace (patinoire réfrigérée) ainsi que pour le ski de fond. Stationnement à l’arrière de la maison. C’était notre deuxième séjour. Nous n’avons pas été déçus. -
• Audrey (9/5): -
• Michelyne (10/5): -
• Douglas (9/5): We highly recommend staying here! - The host is exceptionally warm and hospitable. We loved the homemade delicious breakfast! The house is lovely and our room was equipped with a fan for comfort to help with the summer heat. We loved the location of the quiet neighborhood.
• Rene (10/5): I found this place a complete delight and the owner was lovely and so friendly and helpful. I loved this place - It was beautiful on the outside and inside. Lovely decor. No complaints.
• Ikuko (10/5): - The owner lady took very good care of everything. Great facilities and cooked breakfast was excellent!

• Lubomira (10/5): -
• Guy (9/5): Très agréable séjour! Gîte à recommander sans hésitation. - Petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux. Accueil et gentillesse de Mireille, la propriétaire du gîte. Gîte très bien situé tout près du musée des beaux-arts et près de la rue Cartier (restaurants et autres commerces).
• Flore (9/5): Très bon séjour chez Mireille à Québec - maison de charme à l’ancienne chez Mireille qui est adorable et qui prépare un délicieux petit déjeuner.
• Xianzi (8/5): Not disappointed, but rather satisfied. - The owner of the guesthouse was very nice. He/she recommended some famous attractions in Quebec for me, and it was a wonderful experience for me in Quebec! Thank you again🌹. The only drawback is that the distance between this room and the adjacent room is relatively close, and it doesn't provide particularly good sound insulation. (Even at night, I could still hear the children crying and the snoring from the adjacent room.)
• Michael (9/5): Enjoyable - Breakfast was superb TV could do with updating
• Yves (10/5): -
• Tim (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): -
• Caroline (8/5): Emplacement parfait avec parking gratuit, excellent accueil, je recommande -
• Jason (10/5): A wonderful few nights in an old city, close enough to the touristy stuff without being in the midst - There wasn't much to not like. It's quiet, calm, very easy to get around, and Mireille is incredibly helpful without being intrusive. Don't have an answer for this one.
• Linda (10/5): Very warm & inviting. Helpful, too! - Location, size, comfort Nothing
• Dina (6/5): - Too far from city center.
• xiaohong (10/5): 美而缺乏实用性。 - 距离城中心有3公里，对喜欢步行的旅者，是个好事，因为沿途风景很美好。客房装饰很用心，用法国不同印象派画家的名字命名，内部装饰也是画家风格。 倒不是说改进，只是觉得装饰客房的美，过多的桌椅，反而影响了实用性。毕竟人在旅途，两个人的行李箱打开有一定困难。
• jacky (7/5): - Le quartier très arboré, la facilité de se rendre au centre ville Les petits déjeuners très copieux et goûteux Notre hôte très jovial et au service Le lit très inconfortable
• Markus (8/5): Tolle Unterkunft in zentraler Lage, um die Stadt zu erkunden - Zentrale Lage zur Stadt, freundliche und hilfsbereite Unterkunftgeberin Frühstück traf nicht unseren gewohnten, europäischen Geschmack!
• Marie-Cécile (10/5): Excellent accueil, une expérience québécoise authentique et très sympathique, tout était parfait - petit déjeuner délicieux, chambre très confortable
• Gaëlle (9/5): - top accommodatie, bedankt Mireille voor de fijne ontvangst de vele tips en informatie, en de lekkere ontbijten parking een beetje nipt als je met een grote auto moet parkeren, wat ons geval was
• Renaud (9/5): Superbe séjour à Québec - Mireille et toutes ces attentions La position du lieu Le confort du lieu Le petit déjeuner NA
• Brigitte (9/5): -
• Katherine (9/5): Good location with car parking very comfortable fantasic breakfasts. - Comfortable large room, bathroom with bath and shower. The owner so helpful with restaurants advice on car parking in Québec etc gave us a map. The breakfasts were simply the best ever. Car parking in site.
• Thomas (10/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeberin, tolles Frühstück. Bushaltestelle direkt vor dem Haus.
• Citoyend'Europe (9/5): Un bon choix pour quelques jours à Québec. - Nous retenons en premier l'accueil chaleureux de Mireille, la propriétaire. Elle nous a donné plein de conseils pour nous déplacer dans Québec. La chambre même petite est bien aménagée. Chaque chambre porte le nom d'un peintre, Renoir pour nous. Excellent petit déjeuner, varié et composé de plusieurs productions maison avec en particulier un plat chaud qui change tous les jours. La maison est excentrée mais bien desservie par les bus qui conduisent au cœur du vieux Québec en une dizaine de minutes. Le parking privatif derrière la maison évite de stationner dans la rue. Il vaut mieux savoir qu'il faut emprunter quelques marches pour accéder à la maison et que les chambres sont à l'étage. Mais les avantages l'emportent largement.
• Bryan (9/5): Wonderful visit to Quebec City enhanced by an exceptional B&B - Mireille is just the perfect hostess. Very helpful and such a wonderful person to converse with. Breakfasts were special and varied... something for everyone and Mireille will cater to special needs if she is advised in advance. We brought our own special cereal and enjoyed the extras such as the fruits and cakes. Bedroom was well appointed and the hot water plentiful. Off street parking was a bonus. While our room (degas) faced the main street, the noise was minimal and we had no problem sleeping. Nothing.
• Edward (10/5): It was very pleasant. -
• Emilie (8/5): - Super petit déjeuner fait maison Très bien situé et très calme le soir Un emplacement pour la voiture compris Notre hôte était de bons conseils Pourrait ôter quelques meubles pour gagner en taille de chambre
• Cathy (8/5): - Breakfast, location, bed Bathroom and bedroom cramped Not much space in the bedroom
• Ross (9/5): -
• Elizabeth (10/5): -
• Jean-Luc (10/5): - Le meilleur accueil à Québec ! Nous avons adoré la gentillesse de notre hôte et ses précieux conseils, la chambre était confortable et le petit déjeuner (maison) délicieux et copieux
• Gabrielle (9/5): -
• Ute (10/5): Ausgezeichnetes kleines Hotel mit reizender Gastgeberin, die um das Wohl der Gäste sehr bemüht ist. - Ein sehr persönlich geführtes, wunderbares kleines Hotel, mit nur 4 Zimmern. Die Gastgeberin ist super lieb, um das Wohlbefinden ihrer Gäste stets bemüht. Alle Tipps, die wir von ihr bekommen haben, waren prima. Man kann die Innenstadt in ca. 3,5 km problemlos zu Fuß erreichen, aber auch mit dem Bus. Die Haltestellen sind um die Ecke und die Busse kommen sehr häufig. Viele Restaurants gibt es auch in der näheren Umgebung. Parkplatz ist kostenlos und das Frühstück ausgezeichnet. Alles ist ganz prima gewesen und wir können nichts Negatives sagen. Alles war wirklich super schön und hat unseren dreitägigen Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht.
• Alexandre (9/5): - Le petit déjeuner et l'accueil de Mireille
• Laura (10/5): - La situation géographique (25-30 minutes à pied du centre ville et arrêt de bus en face de la maison) La gentillesse de la propriétaire La propreté des lieux Le petit déjeuner
• Ulrike (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft in familiärer Atmosphäre - Mireille,die Gastgeberin war supernett und freundlich. Die Einrichtung des Hauses und des Zimmers war sehr hübsch,etwas antiquiert genau wie auf den Bildern. Das Frühstück war einfach nur toll,wir saßen zusammen mit anderen Gästen am Tisch,es gab nette Gespräche und Mireille hat uns ein tolles Frühstück serviert,z.B.vorneweg frische Annanasscheiben,garniert mit Sahne,,French Toast,liebevoll angerichtet,mit vielen Früchten. Gerne hätten wir auf dem Rückweg unserer Reise nochmals bei ihr übernachtet,aber sie war schon ausgebucht. Ein wunderbarer Beginn unserer Reise bei Mireille,herzlichen Dank nochmals an sie. Wens interessiert, Bushaltestellen gabs in der Nähe,da aber Streik war,waren wir zu Fuß unterwegs,ca 20 bis 25 Min in die Stadt. Es war alles zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit.
• Francisco (9/5): Welcoming and nice host - Very good location (very easy to get to the city center or stations by bus caught in the same door). The host is incredible: very nice and caring about her guests. Good homemade breakfast Private room with private bathroom It is very old fashion furniture (a minor aspect to be honest).
• Susan (10/5): Love staying at this very cute bed-and-breakfast (the breakfasts were awesome.) - Maribell was a wonderful host. She is very welcoming and an incredible cook so we greatly enjoyed the breakfast. Our room was very comfortable and the location is great. We are in our 70s, so a bit of a task getting to the second floor with our luggage. Parking was tight.
• Liron (8/5): Very good -
• Sahil (10/5): Amazing and full of memories - Location and host! N/A
• Maura (10/5): True Garden Inn - This B&B is run by a warm hostess who is eager to help guide you with anything you need. In fact, she let us know about a Niki de St. Phalle exhibit, which turned out to be one of the best parts of our stay in Quebec. We are grateful to her for that recommendation. Set in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful garden, the inn is welcoming and not stuffy. There's free parking and easy access via bus to the Old Town. (Though we walked everywhere--it's about 2 miles to the Chateau from the inn). Breakfast is good. We were very happy to have stayed there, as it was away from the touristy Old Town crowds and high prices. We tended to eat away from the center of Old town. We loved staying here and have no issues recommending it. It didn't bother us, but some folks who have mobility issues might have issues with stairs and with walking the distance into town (although, again, the hostess will assist you with that and it's not really an issue)
• Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
• Timothy (9/5): Superb - Very hospitable hostess. Excellent breakfast just a few rooms. Really good All good
• Kristen (10/5): We enjoyed spending our 25th wedding anniversary here. - The house is beautiful. The breakfasts were delicious. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. There is a bus stop nearby and the bus takes you the two miles into the old city. There is a great art museum and park within walking distance.
• Braulio (10/5): Great value which exceeded my expectations. - Great breakfast and parking facilities were good. Very safe place and the host, Mirelle, was exceptional. The location is very good. I most recommend. No clue. All was great.
• Sheanne (10/5): It was so close to everything we wanted to see! The breakfasts were INCREDIBLE! Our hostess was a wonderful resource who - The hostess was marvellous! Knowledgeable and friendly!
• Olivier (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hebert (10/5): A+ - Overall, super quaint, truly lovely bed and breakfast, with a wonderful host. Room was thoughtfully and beautifully decorated, and it was comfortable (see two very minor points below). Plenty of outlets for charging devices. Breakfast was home cooked, healthy and delicious. The pillows were a bit on the stiff side for my taste, yet I slept very well, so they were still comfortable. The shower was on the small side, but admittedly I had requested a smaller room. So these are very minor points that did not take away from my overall very positive impression.
• Odessa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lana (10/5): Amazing B AND B on grande Allee!!🥂💞 - Amazing B and B!! Location ideal as we were in town for the German Christmas Market! The hostess, Mireille was charming, informative and a marvelous cook!! The breakfasts were delicious and ample..The king-size bed was comfortable and pillows as well..room was cozy and welcoming 💞
• Fatima (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic hostess, so helfpful and kind. Great breakfast and great location! Highly recommended.
• Stacy (3/5): Musty home with a hostess who is tired of having guests. - The breakfast was a lovely presentation of breads and sweets. I was told it was not offered at the time of morning I was available, but was surprised to see that she had made it available for other guests, so I was ultimately able to have some breakfast with my stay. The exterior of the home is absolutely lovely with beautiful flowers in the front and a nice exterior. It is situated approximately a mile from downtown, and parking is available of a couple of cars in the rear of the building. The home was once likely a delightful place to stay, but the hostess appears long past her desire to host guests. The home is sealed tightly up, and a smell of mildew is beginning to pervade the interior. The hostess is quick and sharp to reprimand on things she sees as a violation of her rules without posting signs or providing some kind of guidance in advance. Note that the back porch is not available to guests, and after I sat there and drank a cup of tea, then brought my tea cup inside to leave in the breakfast area, the hostess was incredibly sharp and rude, so much so that it was apparent from the expression of the other guests present who were also shocked as she dressed me down for quite awhile for drinking my tea on the back porch. Apparently, guests are only supposed to be in the gazebo further into the backyard. Flashes of her temper were apparent throughout the time I spent there. Although the property is listed as non-smoking, smokers congregate on the front porch, and the smell of cigarette smoke and burned out butts welcome you as you enter the house. The windows in the room were nailed shut, which prevented me from airing out the smell of mildew and occasional cigarette smoke, and the bed was so hard I woke up often throughout the night. Apparently, fresh air is prohibited at this property altogether, as I also was lectured to shut the front door as I held it open to allow another guest to enter. Ultimately, the entire experience was an uncomfortable one of being utterly unwelcome into a home by a sharp-tongued, hawk-eyed owner who is quick to reproach and slow to accommodate. I would not recommend staying here.
• Patrick (9/5): . The hostess was delightful. She is friendly, very helpful and informative. - The breakfast was very nice. It started with a selection of cheeses and coffee with one day a fruit plate. Then freshly prepared french toast, choices of breads to toast. Yogurt with granola and other choices to add. Milk, choice of juices One day there was a chocolate bread and the next morning an apple pastry. There was great variety and plenty to eat along with a few fellow guests who were friendly and interesting . Our room was large, well maintained and had everything we needed. We didn’t have a car and it’s in a beautiful residential area that is a little isolated, about 1.5 miles from the old city center. There is a city bus line that passes on the street in front. We weren’t aware of restaurants nearby but a large selection wonderful choices 0.75 miles away just past a large art museum along the same bus line. It was an advantage to stay away from the city center and crowds.
• Jessica (10/5): Wonderful place to stay to explore Quebec without an impersonal hotel. - Mimi was super helpful in fun things we could do in the area, how to get around without using our car, and her breakfasts were delicious! Can't think of anything I didn't like!
• Louise (10/5): A really nice place to stay for a few days. We will return! - Very well kept older property, very clean, very comfortable and well situated. Away from the noise but close to the charm of Old Quebec. Our hostess Mireille is an excellent “Inn keeper”, very knowledgeable about “what’s what” and “what’s where” in Quebec City. Merci Mireille de partager ton Arvidienne avec nous. Nothing!
• Bernard (10/5): Bed and Breakfast vacation at its best - It was absolutely perfect!
• Martin (9/5): very enjoyable - excellent breakfast and very helpful hostess
• William (10/5): Comfortable and welcoming b&b located close to the historical district. - The owner was so welcoming and informative and she provides an excellent full breakfast! Nothing. It was all great.
• Bettina (9/5): Superb -
• Emma (9/5): Superb - Easy to get to and from town on public transportation. Lovely spot would have just liked the window to open but otherwise everything (including breakfast) was amazing.
• Christine (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay. Mimi was very pleasant, helpful and engaging but not intrusive. Her breakfasts were wonderful - The distinctive features and charm of a 1939 house. Very warm and welcoming feeling while dining in the formal dining room. Location was great. Short distance to beautiful park and walkable into town. Small bathroom with sink outside bathroom.
• Hans-juergen (10/5): The guest house only was worth to come to Quebec! - The guest house is perfectly located to explore the city . The interior exude lot of Charme seconded by a great franco canadian hospitality of the female host. The breakfast I got does deserve an extraordinary big hand as all dishes have fresh and handmade, Nothing at all!
• Michele (9/5): We look forward to returning! - Lovely host, beautiful room, bountiful breakfast. Super convenient to bus line which quickly brought us to the city center.
• Alina (10/5): The BEST bed and breakfast!! - We loved EVERYTHING about this place. It's super clean and comfortable! The rooms and living room and terrace are absolutely adorable! The bed is comfortable and our shower was great, hot water and good pressure. And Mireille, the host, is so wonderful. Really, really helpful and super friendly (but also gives you your own space). She also made us the most delicious french toast for breakfast. The breakfast is phenomenal! Really delicious and cooked at the moment. We also loved the location since it's in a peaceful and beautiful tree filled street, close to the art museum and literally right in front of the bus stop for the bus that takes you to all the tourists spots in the old city. Really couldn't recommend it more. We want to go back! Nothing!
• Krishna (9/5): Superb -
• Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacqueline (9/5): Charming little BnB - We thoroughly enjoyed staying at an old-fashioned bed and breakfast! It was great to interact with other couples at breakfast and chat with our charming hostess. The only negative was that the bed in our room was a bit firm compared to what we are used to but we still slept well on it
• Gordon (10/5): A truly wonderful experience. - A hidden gem. A lovely building, with great facilities. A very warm and friendly welcome. An unexpected delight to stay there. A great experience.
• Gediminas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (10/5): Highly recommended B&B in Québec City - Superb B&B in a lovely old property on the Grande Allée just outside the central district of Québec City, within easy walking distance (about half an hour) and also with good bus connections to the old town. Mireille was a wonderful host and looked after us extremely well, providing lots of help with planning our relatively short stay in town. Our room was delightful, with a nicely old fashioned feel to it but very comfortable and a great place to relax. The public rooms and shared facilities, such as a fridge and tea and coffee making, were very welcome and added to the cosy atmosphere. Breakfast was excellent and set us up very well for a hard day's sightseeing! Overall a highly recommended place to stay for visitors to Québec.
• Tom (10/5): Truly great - Excellent and lots of it
• Elizabeth (9/5): Superb -
• Connie (10/5): Beautiful home and charming host in picturesque Quebec City - Beautifully decorated home, comfortable bed and very clean. Breakfast is delicious, we had frittata with fruit salads and breads one morning and French toast, yogurt with granola the next day. The property is about 2km to the old town, passing by the Musee National des Beaux Arts du Quebec which has a special exhibit of Rembrandt etchings at the moment. None.
• Rick (9/5): wonderful place to stay in Quebec City just outside of old town. - The host was wonderful. We enjoyed chatting with her and her suggestions for visiting Quebec. it was fine and clean but the bathroom/shower was a little small.
• Mesger (10/5): Exceptional -
