Gîte le 812 - Hostel

For two people staying three days in Quebec, it was good value and had almost a youth-hostel feel. The room was cozy and clean, with a desk, dresser drawers, TV, small sink, queen bed, plenty of pillows, and towels. WiFi was free and strong. The shared area has a kitchen, refrigerators, microwave, coffee machines, and laundry. There’s a small grocery store, Marche Bonichoix, two blocks away, plus a couple of other small shops. On-street parking is available. The front door is locked, so go into the restaurant through the next door on the right. They’ll have your key and give you instructions. The Quebec City bus stop is around the corner. You can buy a pass at the Sprint Eko gas station a block away, then take the 807 bus to Old Town. All-day passes were $9.00 each, and boarding was easy, just tap your card at the reader.

The decorative sheets aren’t cleaned, and the room smells like previous guests’ body odour. You’d be better off paying more to stay somewhere else, unless you’re fine with pillows that have hair on them.

The neighbourhood felt nice and very safe, even when we walked around at night. The hotel was very clean, and the rooms were comfortable and well furnished. Definitely a great place to stay!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay. The staff were amazing and so friendly, and the neighbourhood was a plus too. We definitely recommend staying here!
