Quebec hotellit Cité Universitaire

Plussat: Not really anything different from an actual hotel in the room. Although walking into the room you can clearly tell it's a student residence. It's not brand new but well worth the price. Many reviews mention the absence of air conditioning, but we found a more than adequate portable AC unit inside. Might be something new this year.

Miinukset: Not really given you're living in a residence.

Plussat: We were there only for one nigth, this was a stop while we were doing a long road. Slept well, it was quiet and restrooms were close to oir room.

Miinukset: No air conditionning and very small room! But it's okay for the price!

Plussat: Sink in room. Kitchen available for use. Ice and water fountain available... VERY close to bus stop.

Miinukset: No AC. but knew that before.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Ike to have my own bath

Plussat: Really good value. Clean room with all amenities ( stove , fridge, sink , tv with lots of channel & Wi-Fi ). Well located for public transportation

Miinukset: The university complex is really big and it can get disorienting.

Plussat: excellent value for money, a place to pay less and 'impossible to find, basic services

Miinukset: basic services

Plussat: Friendly, welcoming staff at check-in. Good price. Clean. Private shower stalls in the building I was in. (Written with the consideration that this was a dorm room experience.)

Miinukset: They were dorm room beds, so I wasn't expecting luxury, but the bed was not as comfortable as could be hoped, even for a dorm twin bed.

Plussat: It was a college dorm. It was a bit cramped. Staff wasn't so thorough on how it all worked so took a bit of figuring out after a long and tiring day accompanied with a very late arrival.

Miinukset: See above

Plussat: The university environment is safe and clean, parking is convenient too. It's about 15 minutes drive to old Quebec City but only convenient if you have your own vehicle.

Miinukset: The size of the room is too small and too basic. Nothing else, not even a kettle or coffee machine. Cafeteria is closed during summer.

Plussat: It was the best valued place we found in Ste Foy. The room takes up the space of two standard student dorm rooms, with a desk, a fridge, and a microwave. On an information card found on the desk, it seems guest could use the communal kitchen in the basement. However, it appears that one would need to bring one's own cookware. Our room shares a wall with a public bathroom, and the flushing sound could be an issue for light sleepers (we were fine though). The Place de Sainte Foy shopping mall is just across the street, and there's a Metro Plus grocery store there.

Miinukset: The address listed for this facility is for the check-in where one gets the key/access card and parking permit, but the actual guest room can be in one of four buildings on the campus. A tiny map is printed on the check-in envelope which is not easy to read for us. It took us a while to find our building after leaving the admin office (two traffic lights after, and a long detour around a wooded area). When leaving, there's no need to go back to the admin office, but simply drop the key envelope to a mailbox. The information printed on the envelope directs you to a room though.

Miinukset: Cleaness

Plussat: Except the initial stuff, everything was very good.

Miinukset: When I arrive to Laval, the initial stuff kept me waiting about an hour, and did not properly show me the way to my room.
