This is a very old and historic hotel in a perfect location, just behind Chateau Frontenac. Easy walking distance to most everything.
No elevators. A small lounge with a microwave, coffee machine and very small ice maker. It makes about 3 cups of ice. But there is a mini-fridge and coffee maker in every room.
Allison was the lovely young woman at the desk. She was so helpful, lending me the office corkscrew for a bottle of wine, and ordering our next-day taxi back to the airport.
This hotel does not have 24/7 desk staff. Guests are given a code number to enter the building after staff has gone for the day.
Hotel Jardin du Gouverneur is old and funky; its best quality is location. It does have comfy beds and bedding, and it was clean.
Our room was on the second floor, and the only room with a patio. It overlooked the garden park, and the St Lawrence River. It was lovely.
I would stay there again, if I ever get back to Quebec City.
