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)

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.

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.

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!

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.

What made our stay at L'Arvidienne exceptional was the hospitality, warmth and helpfulness of our host, Mireille! It was a real treat to begin each day of sight-seeing with delicious and varied breakfasts (lots of fruits, different types of breads and cereals, as well as hot dishes such as crêpes or omelettes, all freshly made). Her breakfasts nourished both the body and spirits. We had the opportunity during our stay of meeting her other guests: The breakfast conversations were enjoyable and enlightening, particularly regarding what others found to be worth visiting in Québec City. The B&B is situated at the western end of the Plains of Abraham, with easy access to Vieux Québec as it is easy to pick up several different bus lines that either take one into the walled city or the Parliament buildings right outside the old city walls. Mireille is wonderful at providing that kind of useful information. Walking is also an option (even in winter!) as we could walk through the Plains of Abraham park to, for example, the Musée de Beaux Arts (the Inuit collection there is fantastic). Our stay in the Van Gogh room provided all that we needed. And because we weren't in the thick of the tourist areas in the old city, we were able to have peaceful and restful recharging for the next day.

The only thing I can think of is probably a bit more drawer space, which would be especially useful for those with a longer stay.

The hostess was charming, kind and helpful, and made delicious breakfasts! She spoke fluent English as well as French. We loved the upstairs outdoor balcony where we ate our take out dinner one evening, and there is a nice covered seating area in the backyard.. The location was across from the Plains of Abraham which is a lovely park and you can walk to Old Town but it is a bit of a hike. The B& B is on a main street with a bus route so you can take the bus back from Old Town.

We were in the Renoir room which is very small, and it was a little hot and stuffy. You cannot open the windows. She does provide a fan which helps. The bed was rather hard. The bathroom was tiny.

Mireille is the most welcoming host— our flight was delayed by 12 hours and she was very responsive and helpful when we arrived. We also needed to store luggage after checkout and we did that with no problem. The room was spacious and cute and the shower was nice. The homemade breakfast with fresh fruit and freshly made bread and omelette was amazing and Mireille was flexible with breakfast time and super friendly to talk to. We don’t speak French at all and it was absolutely no issue. The location is nice and quiet but also centrally located on Grande Allée and easy to walk downtown on a nice day- about 30 min walk or quick bus to the old town. Highly recommend and will stay again!

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.

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.
