This was a luxury boutique hotel, but the staff were so personable and treated us like royalty. Loved our stay there and didn't want to leave! A couple of the employees deserve mention, Simon, who worked in the bar/restaurant was so courteous and such a gentleman. So friendly and a great sense of humor! Emily and Alissa, the all time two most beautiful and sweet sisters! I would love to adopt them both! They were funny, always so attentive! I can't say enough nice things about them. Consider them friends, not just being good employees! The rooms were perfect! Comfortable and so beautifully appointed!

Wonderful service - smaller than expected room
Simply the best service we have ever experienced. The staff was wonderful & very much went above & beyond over and over. The area is beyond charming and Quebec City overall is amazing. The room itself was a bit small for our liking, but the patio was lovely with amazing views of the river.

Nice Experience, For a Price
My wife’s doctor recommended the ASA highly, and indeed I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the other guests we saw were medical doctors. Our room was their smallest, basically an upscale motel room for close to USD 500 the night (in July) with breakfast available at USD 25+ extra per pax, so there’s no way to spin it as good value-for-money. But it still had what we needed: space to lay out a big suitcase, a sofa to read on, a roomy bathroom with a nice shower, perfectly adjustable air conditioning, and everything nice — no cheap materials. So, if it didn’t have the grace of a suite, it definitely beat a cramped room. Excellent location for tourists! The hotel’s small bar-restaurant, Artefact, was also a high point. Having to chase after drinking water for the room wasn’t, and that’s an easy win if the hotel wants to pursue it. Overall, we can recommend it if you can get a better deal on the type of room you want.

Good but not exceptional given the price. Staff was very good. Kitchen and breakfast were excellent, the bar's offering decidedly over priced. The room was clean, but smallish. The local offers some interesting walks, but a grocery store is a long hike.

This was one of the best hotel experiences we have had. Front desk staff, valets,concierge,and bartenders were all so pleasant and beyond helpful as we had a problem with one car tire.Room was immaculate and spacious. They have many nice touches such as handwritten welcoming note, fresh strawberries, chocolates. You will feel relaxed and pampered. Exceptional indeed! The VIP benefit was for spa discount so I was not interested as wanted to see the city.
