La estadía nos decepcionó mucho. A pesar de estar bien ubicado, el albergue no está en buenas condiciones. La propiedad es vieja y requiere mantenimiento. Además, las habitaciones son chicas y con poca iluminación, excepto las que dan al frente.
Es un albergue automático, así que todo (absolutamente todo) se maneja por teléfono.
Por último, la relación precio calidad es realmente mala. Definitivamente no lo recomiendo.
I should have checked the reviews or requested a room on the first or second floor. 3 curling sets of stairs was a bit difficult when you are nearly 80
The Auberge is well located, a 15 min walk from the train station, and it was easy to walk around within the walls of the old city. The staff was very polite and helpful, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. I would stay here again!
Pros:
-decent location
-large, clean, airy room
-good cupboards and closet for clothes
-Fairly quiet location
-Convenient luggage storage
Cons:
-Read the fine print, NO housekeeping service. If you want anything, you have to request it. We requested more coffee cups and creamers to replenish our supply and instead we got creamers and towels.
-Communication was through text, but the texts were not answered promptly
-We requested an extended checkout time three different times using three different communication methods. We got no response until the day before our request and were denied an extended check-out
-the room needs a location to easily charge devices which is the norm for a lot of hotels now. We had to look for an outlet to use.
-small bathroom with very little counter space to place toiletries
-no towel racks to hang wet towels and the hook behind the door was broken.
-TV remote and TV were very difficult to manage despite the instructions. Older guests who are not tech savvy would struggle with only using streaming services.
-Narrow windy staircase is difficult to manage with larger suitcase.
Room and bathroom were clean. I stayed 2 nights. Note: there are no elevators which is a challenge if you have mobility issues or if your luggage is heavy.
Service: 3/5 - this is only an automated service. No one to assist with urgent or general questions right away. Entering the passcode for the front door was a challenge as the numbers were faded on part of the key pad.
Ambiance: 5/5 - being an older building meant street noises were at a minimal.

It’s impossible get in touch with someone at hotel. Send multiple message but no reply. There is no reception and only allow to connect via virtually.
I wish there is someone to talk to if there is emergency.
Great location, easy to walk around the Old Quebec City area. The building is nice, seems like a lot of the original architecture has been maintained. The rooms were sizable and beds comfortable. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something that can make you feel a bit like a local.
We enjoyed our stay at North House Auberge la Chouette.
It’s conveniently located just before the old fort entrance of Old Quebec City and near many restaurants to choose from.
Despite travelling with a 90 year old… she was still able to go up the swirling stairs without difficulty. We would go back for sure!

Disliked: Amenities
We felt it was a fire death waiting to happen! No fire doors in the hallway. We were in room 316 with no window to open for fresh air and only an emergency door which we were unable to open even if there was a fire. The wiring was Jerry rigged all over the room, looked very unsafe.
During our four day stay the bed was not made once and only one change of towels after we saw someone in the hallway with them. The old towels were left in the room. There were no drawers for clothing…..I could go on. We felt absolutely ripped off. It felt like a prison room, dark and dingy.
The only thing good was the location.
If we could get our money back it would be great!!
Location was perfect. Walking distance to everything; lots of restaurants cafe near by. Located within the walls of Old Québec, the iconic Fairmont Le Château Frontenac was 4 to 5 blocks away. the best location to discover Quebec City on a budget. 2 blocks from Quebec Parliament; Touring Quebec Parliament was free and lunch was amazing at the Parliament Restaurant.
Well located and the bed is comfortable.
But there is a bad smell (sweat? Urine?) and it doesn’t look as good as the photos.
I would find something else next time I need to stat in Quebec City for a conference

This is a no frills hotel. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. However if you are coming in by train and plan to walk to the hotel , know that is a vertical walk up a mountain. They communicate well and we were able to store our luggage.
Amazing stay! Very well organized given that it is an automated hotel. Check in and check out was very smooth and the instructions are clear. Thank you! Luggage storage on site was an added benefit. Very well organized and this place met all our expectations. Very convenient for seeing the old part of Quebec City. Thank you again!
