Common Complaints
Historically, some guests noted issues with rooms getting quite warm. More recently, a recurring criticism was related to temporary noise from city construction in the street and internal lobby renovations, which also impacted usual breakfast services. However, management has indicated that these construction works are now happily concluded. Another point of feedback is that while breakfast is delicious, it is not always included in the room rate, leading to some disappointment regarding the additional cost.

What a gem of a hotel! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Walking distance to everything but in a quieter area so it feels more relaxed. We all loved the coffee machine in the lobby as well as the cozy fireplace. The only thing to note is there is very little storage drawers in the rooms. A dresser or nightside tables with drawers would have been appreciated. Thanks for the stay!! Would...

Loved our stay here. Quiet, comfortable rooms with bathrobes, complimentary coffee & tea. Housekeeping replenish fresh drinking water for the room each evening. Good buffet breakfast, which you can order to your room for the same price. No restaurant on site, but plenty of amazing restaurants close by. Quiet location just a short walk to the main streets. On site parking at rear of hotel. All...

Stayed here over the weekend of October 17-18, completely charming and a must stay in Quebec. Spacious, clean & well appointed room. The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, genuinely interested in your comfort and very quick delivery to the room if you need anything. Spring for the Harbor View, worth it! Lots of restaurants within walking distance. We stayed at Chateau Frontenac for 1 nigh...

If I could rate this hotel a 6, I would. When our trip was unexpectedly disrupted by a hospital stay, the front staff could not have been more thoughtful, empathetic and flexible. When we finally checked out, I had tears in my eyes because of their kindness. The rooms and the location are great but this personal service won them a loyal client for life.

I stayed three nights at Hotel Le Germain. The location was great. We enjoyed being in the lower town very close to the Musem of Civilization and within an easy walk of the older streets. It was easy enough to take the stairs or funicular to the upper town. There were several restaurants nearby. I didn't see any close grocery stores, but I didn't look very hard for any, either. For the hotel itse...

I booked two nights for my girlfriend’s birthday, it was as good as the others Le Germain hotels we’ve stayed at. The location is perfect, the parking is easy to access and the rooms were clean and spacious. Special shout out to the blond lady at the front desk, that accommodated my late check out because we had a long drive back; she was really sweet. There was also another brunette that was also...
