"Is THAT it?" My impossible to please father exclaimed. "Yes, but look, FOUR stars. See?", I pointed out. I was paying for all the hotel rooms on this trip and I wanted him to damn well appreciate it.
The Auberge Le Vincent may be one of the best hotel values I've ever seen. While on the smaller side, the room was very comfortable and certainly in line with its four star rating. The shower stands out as one of the nicest and most comfortable I've experienced.
The hotel host Julie greeted us with a warm smile and took her time explaining a great walking tour through Quebec City. The breakfast included one of the tastiest omelette's I've ever had to boot.
The only way this hotel could be improved would be to physically move it into the old city. It's only a 10 or 15 minute walk though, and honestly, everything inside the old city seemed like a tourist trap.
Claude, if you're reading this, make sure you hold onto Julie. She's a keeper for sure!
$159 per night included an amazing breakfast, responsive WiFi, in room espresso machine and 5-star personalized service! -

Wow, this place was great! Drove up from Boston in mid-December for a reasonably-priced get-away and stayed for two nights. We showed up and the concierge informed me that they had a surprise for us: they had updated us to a suite for the same price!! Granted it was a quiet time for traveling, but this was a pleasant surprise.
The room was beautiful-- tasteful art, exposed brick and this to-die-for shower. They had a great selection of DVDs at the front desk that you can just take when you want them. Every staff member we spoke to was friendly and eager to help.
It was a great find and I will definitely stay here when we return! -

Formidable ! I love this little 10 room boutique hotel in Quartier Saint-Roch in Quebec City. Wait, I really like the hotel, the facilities and location, but it's really the people who stand out.
The owner and his wife were often on hand during our visit, especially at breakfast, and they really care about the quality of your stay. And their staff from the breakfast service to front desk to the room service were all incredibly friendly and efficient. Coming up the stairs from a meal out or a day of sightseeing ? Don't be surprised if someone leans over the reception counter and before you're up the steps they want to know how it went. Don't be surprised if the skies are threatening and when you're out on the sidewalk deciding which way to head, the desk clerk flies out the door offering you one of the hotel's umbrellas.
Breakfasts -- magnifique ! Delicious, plentiful, beautifully presented, and made to order. Wonderful coffee from cappuccino to regular black and unlike most places in the province, they actually brew decaf on request (no Sanka packets).
Touring ? You'll get wonderful advice on walking routes, the eco bus, sights to see, restaurants, Cirque du Soleil in the open, museums, and more.
Things to consider: We had the least expensive room and the bathroom was "just right." If you're a big person, you might want to ask if other rooms have bigger washrooms. The glass shower was huge and wonderful with two types of shower heads - that's not a concern. There's no elevator and some rooms are up two flights of stairs. The nice areas for walking are only minutes away on foot but you'll be going up and down hill. You should be in good walking condition.
Saint-Roch is described by some as an up and coming district and by others as a place with a vision that's not yet executed. We had no problem with it. Quebec is a living, changing, exciting city. There are superb tourist districts and there are living and working districts. At Le Vincent you get a good view of it all. To me that's a positive. I don't care for Disney's perfect, fake world. I like a vibrant city and all that goes with it.
We loved Quebec and Le Vincent. Do consider it; it's great. -

Auberge Vincent is a class act. The hotel proprietor and manager Claude takes great pride in his establishment and his knowledge of Quebec, and it's clear that making sure his guests enjoy their stay in this beautiful city is his top priority. La Roch is a charming district and a lovely walk to the heart of the old city. Nearby is Rue St. Jean, a strip of boutiques, galleries, restaurants and colorful architecture. Claude suggested we dine at Ciccio Cafe for new year's eve. We loved the homey atmosphere, and every course was delicious. Largo on Rue St. Joseph, was a wonderful place to enjoy some live jazz while sipping a stellar Tempranillo. The atmosphere was lovely as was the wait staff. Bistro Les Bosso, also on Rue St. Joseph, was a wonderful surprise for lunch. The french onion soup and croque monsieur w/ pommes frites were excellent! For our last night in Quebec Claude recommended Le Grafitti on Ave. Cartier. It did not dissapoint :-) The scallops and shrimp over tarragon risotto was a culinary delight. The lamp chops were grilled to perfection. Paired off with a wonderful chianti, this meal made the grade. As for the hotel itself, it is lovely and cozy, with an artistic flair....natrually it's styled after Vincent Van Gogh, and there are some unique and wonderful pieces of art adorning the lobby and rooms. Our room (#9) was very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. We slept well, and enjoyed coming in from the snow to select some DVD's from Claude's selection, located at the front desk. Our car was safely kept in a close garage for $16/day, across the street from the hotel. The breakfasts were simply wonderful and abundant, and are included in the cost :-) You can order anything from savory ham/cheese/asparagus crepes to eggs over easy with bacon or sausage. All dishes came with freshly cut fruit, toast, and an endless supply of espresso, cappuccino, coffee and tea. It was a wonderful way to start our day. Mostly, it is the graciousness and openness of the staff, that makes this place special. Claude offers a personal touch with his warmth and personality. We look forward to staying at Auberge Vincent again, the next time we pay a visit to lovely Quebec.
