“The property exceeded my expectations - great room and the kitchen and bathroom facilities were nice”
Very clean. Nice room. Well looked after building. Good social kitchen but could feel crowded if fully let. Great parking, easy to find and helpful staff. Good mix of activities available if you want to socialize. Kitchen recycling changed regularly so always felt like good hygiene standards being maintained.

“A terrible experience.”
It’s been a terrible experience staying here. I specifically requested a quiet room, but around midnight it feels like there’s a bar either inside the building or very close by — the loud music makes it impossible to sleep. On top of that, the room has extremely poor soundproofing. I can clearly hear footsteps from the neighboring room and people walking in the hallway, as if the walls are hollow.

“Comfort and convenience all in one.”
Breakfast was good! I enjoyed the bagel with salmon and cream cheese. It's a cute cafe. I wasn't sure if breakfast would be available so I was very happy to have something for the road.

“Fantastic place for a home base to discover Charlevoix region!”
Big, clean and well maintained - the hostel reminded me of student / athlete residences in French or Italian Alps. Several floors, each with own living room full of books, games and antiques. Clean kitchens, showers and laundry machines. Guests appeared to be a mature crowd on solo or group trips. Waking up to to the view of rolling green hills was an added bonus.

It is in a historical building that served as a church and school, it feels very unique to stay in rooms that were once occupied by nuns. The process of checking in and out was very smooth and the people working in the establishment genuinely felt friendly. The hotel and its environment is very tranquil and everyone who were currently staying were respectful, it felt like a perfect break from our busy lives. The bistro under the same name had great vibes and affordable prices. It is also in a conveniently walking distance to observe everything this charming town has to offer. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer.

Great location, balconies are nice with great views. Nice big shared kitchen with some board games available. Water and sink directly in the room is very useful. Nice new toilets and showers. Due to unexpected circumstances I asked for check in at midnight and personnel managed it for me. The place has additional bonus places in the building like cafe with gift shop and bistro, plus some book/clothes swap by the reception. Overall very friendly and great atmosphere of the place!
