Hôtel Palace Royal Centre-Ville par JARO
Nice hotel but not happy with the limited dining options. No a la carte breakfast available unless you use room service. Even then, very limited. No chance of just a yogurt and fruit. The buffet breakfast was $28 pp. plus taxes and gratuities.

Hotel Manoir Victoria
Top notch location, professional staffs, room and the hotel in general is a bit old (I guess it’s the same for hotels in Old Quebec) but still very clean

Auberge Place d'Armes
We stayed late October 2025. Great location; view of Chateau Frontenac, with lots of nearby shopping and restaurants. Quiet place to stay and we loved the spacious uppermost loft room.
