Hotel Castel d'Amérique Française (Québec-City, Canada)

This bed and breakfast gives prime access to all the best attractions within the historic district. Most are within easy walking distance and it's possible to sit on the balcony or look just out your room window for those awesome sites. Once you park the car, you won't need it until you depart.

The bed and breakfast has kept most of the charm and ambiance from its history. The decor is old-fashioned, but in a delightful way and it doesn't deprive guests of modern necessities, like Wi-Fi and refrigerators. All the rooms are spacious and clean.

The hosts are very accommodating and work to provide for a pleasant stay. Breakfast is prompt and pleasant and gives a variety each day for guests who have extended stays. The common areas are real treats, especially the outdoor terrace.

The establishment doesn't accept any form of credit or debit cards, so be prepared to carry the cash you'll need to settle your bill. This policy isn't stated on their website, but is firmly enforced.

There isn't a lift in the old building, so you'll have to cart your own luggage to and from your room. The stairs are very narrow and can be tricky to climb. With some rooms being on the fourth floor and parking not located onsite, this can be quite problematic, especially for older guests or those with mobility issues.

The bed and breakfast is large with many rooms and is quite popular. During busy times, the dining room can be crowded and service will suffer. They will often run out of things and you won't receive prompt attention. During these times, parking will also be hard to secure and can get costly.
