The rooms were a bit on the warm side -- didn't seem like the AC worked so well in the building. There's a distinct scent in the building that I couldn't quite place -- didn't bother me but it was noticeable. While I never had an issue accessing a shared bathroom, and usually they were quite clean, a couple times they were left in a state of disarray by a guest before the staff could tidy it -- but you basically can then usually just go to a different bathroom down the hall. Could also use larger towels.

Great location. Fascinating history. Clean, safe. Very good breakfast (even with "quiet" requirement). Very quiet -- maybe even too quiet for some. Shared bathrooms were easily accessible and modernized. Rooms were cute in their own distinct way - felt like you were in some place unique that honored their heritage. Memorable stay.

Incredible breakfast!

Very stylishly redone. While maintaining the sober vibe of the monastery still quality bedding & sheets. Wonderful to sleep. Absolute haven of peace smack in the middle of the old town Lovely concept of silent breakfast (and good breakfast)

Small point but if you are above a certain height you have to beware of the low beam of the doorway. This can be a problem when using the shared bathroom facilities at night if you forget to duck (as I did!).

Very historic and spiritual feel to the space. Bed mattress the most comfortable I have slept on. Tour of the museum there very interesting. Really handy for the centre of wonderful Quebec. Nice inclusive breakfast with a refreshingly quiet dining protocol.

Exceptionally clean. The silent breakfast was mind opening! Loved wondering around the historic museum. The entire place was a living history museum! Staff very helpful!

Rooms were a little basic

I enjoyed the traditional “authentic” room for a modern and upscale monastic vibe. The location is fantastic, and I appreciated the in/out privileges with the paid parking. This place has a wellness theme that really comes through to make it a unique experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Breakfast Incredible good.

The museum within the hotel was a pleasant surprise. The grounds are peaceful and special.

It’s a bit expensive but I guess they need to keep it that way to preserve its quiet, clean and mindful profile.

Very clean rooms and facilities. The breakfast was delicious and the meals were healthy with a wide range of options. We also liked the museum and the philosophy of the place, as well as the lovely gift shop by the reception.

The great environment for breakfast, clean shared bathroom, and hotel tour.

Peatumiskuupäev: august 2025

There are too many rules, I didn‘t feel very welcome: „Don‘t open the window! Don’t talk loudly! Don’t play any music! We don’t clean your room! But: Please leave a tip and be generous.“ I would have prefered „A warm welcome!“

Very cool place in the old town. I loved the museum!

Driving solo home from Toronto to Halifax, as my son and his father were enjoying an extra week in The Big Smoke! I decided to book a hotel for the night midway. I stumbled upon this boutique hotel online, The Monastery Des Augustine, it offered what they described as a superb breakfast, so for an additional $20 I took it. It is situated in the heart of Old Quebec, the only walled city in Canada and one of my favorites. A throwback to another time and place. If you are a romantic, as I am, you should spend a weekend there. You won't even believe that you are still on Canadian soil, you'll feel as if you are in France. When I arrived in Quebec, I had a bit of trouble finding the place and so did my GPS. After circling around for half an hour, I decided to ask a local. Luckily I understood enough of his broken English and I he enough of my French that I could piece together directions. Oddly enough, or because the brothers prefer it that way, the street has no sign. My GPS does state to take a "hard left hand turn" unto Rue Remparts, but that is an understatement. In fact, it is more correctly described as a U turn, as the 2 streets meet at about a 20 degree angle. In fact, it is a walled community inside a walled city. Once you pass through the gates you find a lovely courtyard with meticulously maintained grounds and gardens and a full parking lot. The hotel itself is the historical Monastery with new additions, nicely blending old and new worlds. Immediately, when I walked through the doors, I am struck by this amazing aroma, it's everywhere, like walking into an oversized Saje! It turns out that the hotel also has a spa. I go to the front desk to check in and I am greeted by a rather peculiar looking young man, slight in stature with wire-rimmed spectacles.

That you could not open windows. Ventilation system good however.

Breakfast was excellent though eggs not available every day and were not fried to order. We had the evening meal twice. The first time was wonderful. The second, not so good, as food was a bit dried out and unappetising.

Peatumiskuupäev: august 2025

All you can eat dinner was very expensive. It was a bit shocking to be honest.

Location was great. Peaceful tranquil and clean.

Appreciated the bike storage…..and silent breakfast

Peatumiskuupäev: juuli 2025

Nothing. It was more than perfect.

I loved the comfort of the hotel, the spiritual atmosphere and the focus on well-being. I really liked the silent breakfast and all the healthy choices. I specially loved the tour of the monastery, and the museum which reflects so well the hard work of the Augustine sisters. Location was also great as it was in a quieter part of town but not too far away.

Peatumiskuupäev: juuli 2025

Was not impressed with the food. Our one dinner was cold and expensive for what it was. The breakfast was very mediocre, and again, everything was cold.

Loved the history, the museum, the ethical nature of the overall concept. The staff were good.

Fascinating place oozing with history that is brought together in a free tour. Silent breakfast is fascinating. Don't be put off by the shared bathroom concept - just a minor inconvenience having to walk 20m in the middle of the night if required. And actually a brilliant use of space - during a 24hr period how often do you use a hotel toilet/shower; much better to share the resource.

Peatumiskuupäev: juuli 2025

Maybe needed a comfy chair

Excellent location and very clean with a wonderful breakfast

Peatumiskuupäev: juuli 2025

,,,but breakfast was pricey

quiet, clean, good location by train station.breakfast was fresh...

For the authentic rooms, they should put in a sound barrier so when the door closed behind when someone is leaving, it doesn’t make a click noise. This is a very old building so sound travels. Though, it was fine. I just noticed it a few times. It did not impact me in any way.

So peaceful and beautiful! The room with a shared bathroom was great. - Shared bathrooms are plenty, very clean and have soap/shampoo/conditioner if you rather not bring your own. They provide a robe so it’s easy to get to the bathroom to shower. - Authentic Room was very clean, comfortable and had all of the necessities - including a sink. It felt spacious because of the high ceilings and the windows. - Breakfast is a must. I thoroughly enjoyed it - fresh, filling and has variety. - Location - perfect! Although close to all things Old Quebec, it is extremely quiet. Saint-Jean street is only a 1 minute walk. And it’s extremely easy to get to the port. I would stay here again.

Breakfast was a bit pricey and cold.

The history of the building was fascinating!
