The cruise terminal is 3km away (5-10 min drive), and the train station is easily reached by Uber. Public buses stop at Place Youville, a 10-minute walk.

Parking is not on site; the nearest underground garage is 170m away at 39 rue Saint-Louis (height limit 1.95m, $22/24h). Note that some streets are closed periodically, and the area is hilly - comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Accommodation ranges from double rooms to family rooms with two beds. Certain rooms are on the ground floor for easier access. Bathroom sizes vary; some rooms have a separate shower or bathtub (request upon booking). Several rooms have undergone renovation, while others retain older decor. The historic building has creaky floors and thin walls, so rooms above ground level may experience noise from stairs and hallways. Air conditioning units are window-mounted and can be noisy; some are older and may not cool consistently. Housekeeping typically occurs every two days; extra towels are available in the basement. Cots can be provided. Note that some rooms feature a shower in the bedroom with a curtain due to heritage features.

A shared kitchen in the basement (with stove, fridge, microwave) is available for guests who wish to prepare their own meals. The nearest supermarket is about 800m walk. Rooms include coffee machines with complimentary pods; extra capsules are available in the shared kitchen.

The hotel offers a picnic area, garden, and terrace for guests to unwind. The location itself provides easy access to walking tours, historic sites, and scenic views of the St. Lawrence River. There is no spa, swimming pool, or fitness center on site.
