What guests think

At Auberge Internationale de Quebec - HI CANADA, travellers highlight a central Old Quebec location, very clean spaces, friendly staff, and good value, alongside lively common areas like kitchens and a bar with games, plus a simple included breakfast.

Common drawbacks include many stairs and no elevator, warm rooms in summer due to limited cooling, and off-site parking that some found inconvenient. A few guests noted occasional bathroom or plumbing issues, patchy Wi-Fi in spots, and some noise from streets or creaky floors, though quiet hours help. Expect a social hostel stay with simple rooms.

This must be one of the best hostels there is. The place is gorgeous and huge with an obvious attention to detail to make guests the most comfortable possible. Nari was a gracious host always asking and making sure we have the best experience with every aspect of our stay. He signed us up for many “in house” activities. He was the reason many of us extended our stay as we felt well taken care of. The location is perfect, right in old Quebec and walking distance from beautiful attractions like the Chateau de Frontenac as well as restaurants and stores all around. Many parks in the vicinity. The lobby is beautiful and the kitchen a thrill to cook in and mingle with guests. The pool table by the bar was really entertaining. The curtains on the beds are very convenient for privacy. I would most definitely recommend this place.

Location is great! However, the building is big and there´s no lift so it was hard to get to our room specially when carrying our bags. So many stairs up and down to get to our room felt like a labyrinth and it wasn´t clear if it was a shared bathroom or not until we checked in. The receptionist at check in wasn´t very polite. Breakfast is good though.

This is a hostel, and even if you book a private room, the facilities won't match the standards of a regular hotel. But if you are budget traveler, this may be for you. Our bathroom attached private room was on the top floor with no elevator. The stairs were old, creaky, and winding, and difficult to carry the luggage by ourselves. Definitely not for those with weak knees and arms. The room has no heating and the towels were not replaced during our 3-night stay. The bathroom is old school and shower space was tiny and claustrophobic. There is a community kitchen and other common spaces for use. The complimentary breakfast was mediocre.

Auberge très bien située, dortoirs très bien organisés : casier et lit numérotés donc pas de débat sur qui prend quoi et le casier est assez grand pour contenir une grande valise. Chaque lit dispose de prise pour charger ses appareils. La cuisine est aussi bien agencée, des paniers et étiquettes sont à disposition pour ranger ses aliments. Le petit-déjeuner offre des options salés et sucrés. On peut aussi déposer sa valise dans la consignerie avant le check in et après le check out. Équipe très avenante également! Je reviendrai séjourner si je retourne à Montréal sans problème !

I just loved it!! This facility is quite big and spacious, good amount of shower cubicles and toilets, a wall of fridge like a small convenient store, plenty of common space with outlets. I stayed in a female dorm, and the room was big enough to accommodate decent-sized 6 beds (double-storied). There are small lockers inside the room, and you can use it with your own padlock. It was 0-7 Celsius outside during my stay, but the room and whole building were adequately warm. What I appreciated the most about here is the CLEANLINESS! To maintain it to be excellent, they provide us a plenty of washed bath mats, paper towels (good absorbent), paper cups to brush your teeth. Also, there are towel hangers in shower space + toilets here and there as if they know how we use their shower and sink. Breakfast was also wonderful! It went beyond my expectation as breakfast in a hostel. I enjoyed their peach juice, coffee and tea with oat milk, multi-grain bagels and toast with cream cheese and jam. They also had cottage cheese, cereals and boiled egg. There was a nice gentleman (kitchen staff) who prepared lovely sweets using some cereals and caramels towards the end of my breakfast. You might see him if you’re lucky too. Overall, I stayed amazed being in this place, and this hostel was way better than a hotel I stayed in Montreal. Clean, well-maintained, nice staff, convenient from the center of the old town, quiet at night, nice breakfast. What else do you want more?

I really enjoyed my stay at Auberge Quebec and I would totally stay here again! The Hostel was clean and the amenities such as the kitchen and theatre were perfect. The breakfast was a nice touch and had just the right amount of food for everyone to have a simple but filling start to the day. I stayed in a 8 person female only room, there only ended up being 6 beds and lots of space so it was perfect. The staff I cannot say enough kind things about. Every single one of them was so helpful, nice and eager to help. The only issue I had was the plumbing. There would always be so many toilets that were clogged or unflushable. I even had a toilet overflow on me, luckily I was wearing shoes, that is the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Apart from that, the location was incredible, super accessible to everything I needed and lots of restaurant's, cafes, buses and anything else one would need!

The private rooms are simple but well-appointed (mirror, individual nightstands/nightlights, etc.) and clean. Never encountered any wait for bathroom facilities; also appreciated the provision of individual bath mats. Breakfast is simple but sufficient. Luggage storage is self-service. Hallways were generally quiet during quiet hours 10pm-7am). Only con is that some beds may not be completely level as the floor is not completely level in some rooms (the hostel is in old buildings), but this was not a big problem for a one night stay.

Die Lage der Jugendherberge ist super, weil jeder Punkt der Stadt schnell und unkompliziert zu erreichen ist. In der Jugendherberge war viel los (Canada Day), trotzdem waren die sanitären Anlagen stets annehmbar sauber. Die Zimmer sind natürlich recht einfach eingerichtet, aber sauber. Insgesamt war es recht unruhig in der Herberge; nachts habe ich trotzdem ganz gut geschlafen. Etwas anstrengend war der Straßenlärm über das Wochenende. Nachts musste das Fenster deshalb geschlossen bleiben, wodurch es im Zimmer sehr warm war. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

My sons and I had never stayed at a hostel before, so we weren’t sure what to expect. Other than being too warm (we’re used to A/C everywhere), we had a great experience! The continental breakfast was excellent, the furnishings in all the public rooms were lovely, and they even provided a tour guide for Vieux Quebec. We loved all the fun murals throughout the building and spending time on the patio.
