This is one if the best locations in Quebec. Short and pleasant walk passed the parliament building, to the chateau area while passing lots of food and restaurants. There are restaurants lining the street and below the hostel. It can become very busy at night. We were surprised to see the hostel turns into quite the party scene for younger people at night. The first floor, bar, etc. gets extremely busy. It was sometimes difficult to get passed the line of people waiting to get in. Thankfully we were on the 4th floor so we didn’t hear any of the noise from our room (though carrying up luggage to the 4th floor can be quite challenging as there is no elevator).
All in all, we enjoyed the location, service, and cleanliness of our stay. And the hostel is quite beautiful itself.
