I booked 6 weeks in advance going by the reviews on trip advisor. The hostess however double booked us, although the people who actually got our room did not have written confirmation. We only found out the day before as I phoned up to let her know what time we were due to arrive. We had a last minute search to find an alternative. She had found another B&B for us, but it was far out of town and had bad reviews. Not reliable!
I stayed at Au Petit Roi for two nights and would definitely recommend it to everyone. Room was quite big, comfortable and clean. We shared bathroom with other guests, but that was no problem at all - in fact I didn't bump into anyone. Our hostess was very charming and helpful person - she made us feel comfortable and helped us to plan a wonderful walk through Quebec city. Food was very good, especially for girls. The only downside - my boyfriend doesn't like yoghurt and sweet french toasts, so he wasn't happy to see that one morning it was the main course. He ate rolls with jam instead :)
My husband and I stayed here for two nights, June 19 & 20. Loved it. The B&B is on a quiet street, steps away from Rue Saint-Jean, which leads to everything in Vieux Quebec. We had a room on the third floor that was lovely. Breakfasts were yummy and filling with a Moroccan flair. The hostess, Pricilla, is very friendly and helpful. She provided us with a map and suggestions of what to do and where to eat. This is exactly the kind of experience we were looking for when coming to Quebec to visit. Everything was clean and organized.
It was fun to meet other guests (many repeat guests) at breakfast and share in the ambience of the dining room with its loaded table, natural light and elegant charm.
Very reasonable rates. We'd definitely go back.
I stayed 3 days at Au Petit Roi and I had a great time out there...not only because the breakfast is all you can expect: fruit juice, eggs, cereals, fruits, french toast....not only because the room is well decorated, spacious, quiet and clean, not only because you are close to the Old City of Quebec...but also because the owner is a very nice and smart guy! If you like to be challenged on your knowledge, then he is your man! Enjoy it.
We stayed in this delightful B and B Oct.23 to Oct. 26/08. It is close to the walled part of the city and a comfortable walk for the the moderately fit person. Khalid provided us with a wonderful breakfast each morning and our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Thank you Khalid.
This B&B is located on a charming narrow one-block street a couple of blocks from Rue St. Jean, which is full of shops, restaurants, and bars you will definitely want to visit while you are in Quebec City. It isn't inside the walls of Vieux Quebec, but within short walking distance. We found that we preferred this during our trip, as it was a bit out of the way and quiet without being remote or without its own charm.
We arrived late on a Friday night and were greeted warmly by the friendly host, who made us feel at home immediately.
There is free parking available and fantastic home-made breakfast each morning. Guests are given keys to the front door and can come and go as they like.
The bathrooms are not in the rooms, but we did not find this to ever be a problem, even when the hotel was fully booked.
The decor is a mix of Moroccan influence and the usual B&B florals.
I wouldn't call it a luxurious or indulgent place to stay. There was not a phone or TV in our room, or lush amenities, but why would anyone want these things while on vacation?
I can't sum it up any better than I did in the title: charming, friendly, and perfectly located.
