HOTEL DU NORD, Quebec City

The hotel is situated about 3 kilometres from the historic core of Quebec City. A direct bus (route 80) stops just outside the hotel and runs to the Old Port and the foot of Château Frontenac. Driving into Old Quebec takes roughly 10 minutes. The surrounding neighbourhood has a range of cafés, restaurants, and a grocery store within a 5-minute walk. Parking is free and plentiful on site, making this location practical for travellers with a car. The area is generally quiet at night, though some streets nearby may feel less polished.

All rooms include a private bathroom with a bath or shower, air conditioning, soundproof walls, and cable TV. Bed configurations range from single queen to two queen beds or triple/family setups. A few rooms feature a small kitchen with an oven, fridge, and cookware. The property is older, and some rooms may show signs of wear - carpets, bathroom fixtures, and furniture vary in condition. Stains, mold, or musty smells have been noted in certain units. No elevator serves the upper floors, so rooms on the second or third floor require climbing stairs. The hotel is generally quiet, though noise from hallways or adjacent rooms can carry due to basic soundproofing. Room sizes vary; some are compact while others are more spacious.

Breakfast is self-serve and included in the room rate. The spread typically includes white and whole wheat toast, muffins, butter, jam, peanut butter, cereals, hard-boiled eggs, fresh fruit (apples, bananas, oranges), and packaged cheese slices. Coffee, tea, and juice are available. The selection is basic and may run low later in the morning. No hot cooked items are offered. For guests seeking a more substantial morning meal, several cafés and restaurants are within a short walk. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the hotel provides a list of nearby dining options. The breakfast room is managed by a single staff member, so wait times for replenishment can occur during busy periods.
