Commentaire :-) Beaucoup de personnes travaillent au café Krieghoff, mais tout cela est possible grâce au talent incomparable de la propriétaire Kathy ..

Café Krieghoff, is a wonderful little boutique hotel centrally located with a decent price for the location. After a long drive & late work shift the night before I slept great a solid 9 hours bed was very comfortable. We awoke the next morning to go downstairs to a great breakfast the homemade bagel with melted Swiss cheese & house jam was amazing with the Americano coffee. Lounge area was great also nice clean bathroom/shower. Also appreciated the books in the lounge & room nice to have some historical references of the area.

Agréable & confortable séjour ! En extra, nous avons profité pleinement de la parade de la St-Patrick sur le balcon du Petit hôtel !

Le restaurant est bien. La dame de ménage est sympathique. L'entrée dans l'hôtel se fait par code. La chambre 5 présentait plusieurs défauts : partie droite du lit défoncée (donc nuit en pente ; défaut déjà signalé par des clients depuis le début du mois d'août), porte de la salle de bain qui grince de manière épouvantable, interrupteur de la lampe principale défectueux.

When in Quebec city, do not miss an opportunity to visit Cartier St., its specialty stores & restaurant. If you are looking for great place to lay your hat & sleep the night off then Krieghoff Café & hotel is a well chosen destination.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel in an amazing location on what must be the most interesting & vibrant street in the city. The breakfast was terrific, & service was very cheerful & welcoming. Rooms are for people who can climb stairs.

We chose this hotel because of the location, price & reviews. I can honestly say that it over exceeded our expectations. The hotel was very clean & quiet. The washroom was the cleanest washroom I've ever seen in a hotel. Other than one night when a plow/tow truck kept going by in the night the street was very quiet & because there are so few rooms available in the hotel the inside was also quite quiet as well. We went to the Bistro for one lunch & one dinner during our trip, & both times the food was amazing. The ambiance inside the Bistro was also bustling & lively, which showed how popular it was with the locals. The hotel is walking distance to the Fine Arts Museum, the plains of Abraham, & the main road has a lot of restaurants & little shops to visit. It also only takes about 10-15 minutes by bus to get to Old Quebec. We had a very pleasant experience. The only thing I would suggest would be to add slippers in the bedrooms so it's easy to walk to & from the exterior washroom without shoes on, & maybe find a way to secure the showerhead more in the holder (we had some issues with it falling out). However these are minor things that didn't affect our overall wonderful experience. I will note that to get to the first & second floor of the hotel you need to go up stairs, so if stairs are difficult for you it might not be the best option.

Cet hôtel est devenu mon pied à terre lorsque je viens à Québec. C'est sympathique & sans prétention.

La seule chose qui manquait dans la chambre c'était un café de courtoisie, par contre j'imagine que celui-ci était disponible dans le salon du premier palier près du bureau de réception, mais je n'ai pas poussé la curiosité & ne suis pas allé y voir, ni regardé si l'info était disponible dans le fascicule de l'hotel. Ceci dit le séjour dans votre établissement était agréable en tout point.

We stayed 3 nights, with my wife, at the Hotel Krieghof. Its location, in a beautiful neighborhood, makes you feel like an inhabitant of Quebec, a 10 minute walk from the historic center. A place with a lot of life, but quiet & away from the big crowds.
The friendliness of the staff at the hotel & its restaurant, coupled with its location, make the perfect combination for a great stay in Quebec.
We will return
