Great Stay. Great Weekend.

We just spent a long weekend enjoying the Christmas Markets and the wonderful shops and restaurants in Old Quebec. This hotel is perfect for us. Loved the room, the location, the staff, and the continental breakfast each morning. There is plenty to see and the staff helped us get the most out of our visit. The vibe is relaxed and quiet.

Convenient Stay.

This hotel is quite convenient. My girlfriend and I booked this hotel for a photoshoot in the old Quebec and we were amazed with this place. It's beautiful, the staff are friendly. Our room was 29. It's was quite small, the tv has an arcade videogame which we loved. There's only a sink and our bathroom was down the hall. Since the hotel date's back from the 1800's, I understand. The bed was ok, however the pillows were to big for me. Had trouble sleeping but not for her. Anglicans, Catholics and united church monasteries are close by and beautiful to see. The Abraham's plains are at 5 minutes. And it has a partnership with Strom Spa. If you fancy a stay, this place is for you.

Amazing stay in Quebec City!

Friendly & helpful staff, beautiful rooms and the location was very convenient to walk around. I recommend Hotel Nomad for your next visit to Quebec City! Parking was convenient, breakfast was delicious every morning. We slept great with a comfortable bed and dark room with shutters & curtains closed.

Excellent location, bright and airy modern rooms, friendly staff.

So glad we chose this comfortable, very conveniently located boutique hotel so close to the river and the hustle and bustle of the old town yet quiet and restful. Our bright and airy updated room was spacious with quality bedding and a well appointed, modern bathroom. The breakfast was reasonably priced and included fresh croissants - it can be delivered to your room if you choose. The staff is both friendly and very helpful. We would stay here again.

Great location, cool decor

We had a lovely stay at Hotel Nomad in Quebec City. The location is excellent. It is in the upper section of the old city on a quiet corner. Easy to get to everything. Parking (for a fee) is available which we used. The hotel has great decor and furnishings. We stayed in a King junior suite. The ceilings are high and light fixtures are artsy. The bed is very comfortable. While in the city, I sprained my ankle (not a good city to do that) and the front desk staff was so kind getting me bags of ice. We had breakfast at the hotel once, it was very nice, croissants, yogurt, juice and coffee/tea. I would be happy to stay at Nomad again!

Favorite Hotel EVER

This place was so cute and charming! We had a room on the third floor with a window overlooking a bit of the park and the chateau Frontenac outside. Absolutely gorgeous! We had a separate bathroom in the hall but were provided robes and had a small sink and mirror in the room so wasn't a big deal at all. You could pay a bit extra for breakfast in their lounge (which we opted to do) and it was perfect: pastries, yogurt, juice and coffee or cocoa. Everything was walkable for seeing the old city and you could get a free bus pass through the reception desk to see more of the urban areas. Our favorite thing was that the hotel had lists of restaurants they would recommend in the area which helped A TON to avoid tourist traps and lead to our absolute favorite meal of the trip at BeClub! We would HIGHLY recommend to any couples looking for a cute place to stay while exploring Quebec City! (BE AWARE if you are an over packer as there is no elevator and a winding staircase lol lesson learned)
