L'Intendant is a charming small B&B. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and while the breakfast is the same every day, it is quite enjoyable. The B&B has three levels, but there is no elevator, so be cautious if you have mobility issues.
The location was excellent for exploring the area. Breakfast was delicious every day and real maple syrup and homemade jam were appreciated! Gerald offered assistance when needed and his dry sense of humour amusing) There was no kettle in the room if you wish to make coffee or tea. We would recommend this establishment and would stay here again.
The room was good, and location very nice. The host was a little intimidating. He served delicious breakfast everyday and gave us advice on parking and sights to see. but when we asked a question, he was a bit abrupt and not very friendly
This was a very comfortable provision for our one night stay following our cruise from Boston. A great price and location alternate to the congested pricey accommodations in the walled upper-old city. Just 2 blocks from the gated entry at Cote du Palais. The host was most helpful in securing our taxi for our 4am trek to the airport. Technology kicked us, the taxi was not an app request through Uber, we paid him in cash; however Uber picked the ride up on my app and not realizing this had occurred, I paid all over again when I gave a 5 star plus tip for what I thought was an incomplete ride from a previous port excursion. So Uber users beware. We are taking this in stride as we learned at airport that some were unable to secure rides in advance and therefore spent the night at the airport! Sadly, we missed the breakfast due to our early departure.
Our knowledgeable host was super helpful mapping out our sites and activities and served us a hearty, memorable meal to start each day of walking the city, including delicious homemade strawberry jam. Room was as described and worth the price. Location central and super safe. Merci Gerard pour tout!
It was great. We were not expecting the two flights of stairs and no tv but it was a very satisfactory stay

We expected and received a small and very basic room, reflective of the room rate, which was among the lowest we found in Quebec City. The room was clean, as was the bathroom, which appeared to have had relatively recent renovations. The room was up 2 steep flights of stairs with no elevator, which would be challenging for some travellers. Our biggest disappointment was that breakfast was served from 8am - 10am, which we felt was a late starting time. One of the reasons we chose the property was that breakfast was included, but we had to depart by 7:30 in order to catch our train so no breakfast was provided. There wasn’t even a coffee pot available in the room, or anywhere on the property.
The building is over 100 years old with classic furniture, modern bathrooms and a charming inn keeper. Very conveniently located with just a short hike up the hill or a walk around the bottom of the hill to the many interesting shops and sights.
