The breakfast was excellent, lots of vegetarian and vegan choices. Everything was fresh and delicious. The entire property was very clean, including the shared bathrooms. There were sufficient bathrooms that there was never a wait. The location is only a block from rue St Jean in the old town. It is very easy to walk from the monastery's rue Charlesvoix exit.

If you book a single room, ask to be away from the double rooms. People speaking in a normal voice can easily be heard through the walls. In a wonderful place for quiet meditation, those voices are very noticeable.

We stayed in the rooms with shared bathrooms. It was such a pleasant experience. The rooms and bathrooms were so clean. The rooms were quiet and well appointed. It was delightful to stay in a museum and experience how the sisters of the monastary lived. The beds were exceptionally comfortable- I ordered the same pillows and sheets for my guest room at home when I got back. Silent breakfast was realxing and the food delicious, fresh and healthy. It was a nice way to start the day. The hotel was ideally located in the heart of Quebec City. It is pristine, has beautiful views and 100% walkable to every attraction the city offers.

The whole stay was delightful - I loved it all.

Location couldn't have been better. A short walk (ten minutes) from train station, Frontenac, Visitor's Center and many restaurants and shops. Grocery Store (Metro) about 10 - 15 minute walk. Room was simple but comfortable. I had a Queen/Modern which was perfect for one person. Breakfast had a lot of variety - but no meat of any kind. Lots of fresh fruit, eggs, breads, many gluten and lactose free and vegan choices but enough options for any type of eater.

It was hot and humid for the six days I was there, and my room a/c struggled to keep my room comfortable. Opening room window is forbidden.

All the staffs are so nice so friendly and always ready to help! The two grils at the reception desk, Maria-Josicena and Audrey-Anne helped a lot. They help me to get a bus pass, and told me how to use it and where can I go with it. I follow their advice and took the bus to the Montmorency Fall, and took the bus to the airport as well! They printed out the routine map which helps a lot. I like the musuem too! I took a afternoon tour and I learned a lot. The breakfast is fresh, healthy and organic! There is no junk food or unhealthy food served for breakfast. Highly appreciated! The location is perfect!

The strange noise caused by the aircon.

This is a former monastery (actually more like a nunnery) that has been converted to a spa-like hotel. The rooms are the actual rooms formerly occupied by the nuns and are quite small (duck your head to get in) but comfortable. There's a sink in the room but the bathrooms and showers are down the hall and shared by all the guests. They observe "silent breakfast" which is a nice way to ease in to the day. Excellent healthy food. Museum-like exhibits show the history of the place. Location is excellent, only a block or so away from lots of restaurants. A unique experience.

Well, as noted, bathrooms/showers are down the hall and shared but not a big deal. If you need a big room with a private bath this place may not be for you. I was in a single; not sure if they offer any larger rooms for couples or families.

The cleanliness of the Monastère is perfection - it makes sense that the hotel would follow the same housekeeping rules and values as the old hospital. They use a signature scent that is very unique to the place and not overwhelming nor overpowering. My wife and I stayed in the traditional room with the shared bathrooms and never seen any speck of dirt in them. Always spotless. Our room was looking out to the river, so it was nice waking up to a new cruise ship docked in the port. For my mum and aunt, both seniors close to their 80s, it made sense to stay in the contemporary room with ensuite bathroom and it was also an amazing experience. Breakfast had a lot of variety and is veggie/vegan friendly :)) Also, if you're taller than 175cm (5ft7), you might struggle with the 150cm (5ft) doors and low ceilings.

I wish rooms and shared bathrooms had more hooks. It's hard to get to your room and not having a handy hook to hang your coat on. Getting out of the shower and having to take a few steps to grab your towel is not great. Please consider putting hooks close to the shower door.

The grounds are beautiful and the restorations blends into the original aspects of the monastery. This is truly a work of art. The vaults, the history was impressive. We loved the videos from the Augustine Sisters themselves. The contemporary rooms are very comfortable, clean and modern although I would have preferred an authentic room had one been available at our time of booking. It is quite expensive. If you chose to stay for the "healing" journey, you might get your money's worth, if you're staying for the accommodations only, it is quite pricey.

We had been looking forward to having a dinner at the Monastery and chose a day where duck and fish were served as I'm pescatarian and hubby is fussy. Long story short, we were served a few shrimps with peppers and onions, and chicken/bread balls with Indian spices. Unfortunately, we were told fish was still available when we stared eating from the salad bar, it was not. We paid over $100.00 for a salad bar and 4 shrimps each. (Hubby had 3 actually) Had we been told that the duck and fish were now shrimp and chicken/bread balls, we would have politely cancelled adn eaten somewhere else. We were told by management that 15% discount was enough and to suck it up basically which was both surprising and disappointing.

The calm environment is definitely a great oasis, specially after a long trip. All the staff was super helpful in both English and French and the rooms were super comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay and wished I could've stayed longer. The quiet breakfast was a great way to start your day in relaxed, conscious and meditative manner.

Perhaps the extra services as the guided tour of the monastery, the march meditation and the yoga class could be included in the cost of the room. Having to pay extra for those services does reduce a bit the experience. Still I very much enjoyed

Lovely historic building with great modern extension. Some very pretty garden areas. Very quiet at night. Easy walk to many areas in Quebec. Nice breakfast and I liked the fact it is eaten in silence. Lack of TV also a nice change for a few days. Staff helpful and the tour of the museum area of the Monastery is highly recommended. Wifi excellent. No kettle in your room but staff at reception provide hot water.

Rooms are very small - our room had two twin beds and two bedside tables and a built-in wardrobe - no chair or desk. The roof is sloped and you needed to be careful not to hit your head if you had the bed near the window. You are requested not to open the windows as the frames are fragile but that means you have to use the A/C system which is a bit noisy and not so good for the environment.

Only a short walk to the Upper Town, Monastère des Augustines was very conveniently located. The exterior of the building exuded a calmness that continued inside. Beautifully restored, the building offered a comfortable stay for our three nights in Quebec City. The contemporary room on the upper floor offered two single beds and our private bathroom. The room was not serviced during our stay, though we could put out our towels in the bag provided in exchange for fresh ones daily. Breakfast was included and was had in silence - everyone respected this and ate quietly. Additional meals and drink were available throughout the day to purchase. These were reasonably priced. We joined the English guided tour of the building (no charge if staying) which took us to, amonst other places, the Vault - it was interesting to hear and see more of the history of the place. We also looked at the Chapel and Church. This was a very different experience in terms of accommodation, but an absolutely beautiful one!

There's really nothing that we didn't like, but the room was tiny and lacked appropriated placed power points (usually, they are at the side of the bed, these were at the foot of the bed!)
