Loved my stay! Clean, quiet, and center of city. They have everything you need, cinema, bar, washer/dryer, kitchen, gym… Will definitely go back there
Such an incredible hostel! Easily one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. From the cleanliness and spacious common areas to the creatively designed spaces, every detail felt thoughtful and welcoming. The staff were genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. Whether you’re out exploring all day or choosing to relax and hang out inside, this place makes every moment enjoyable. One important note: there is no elevator—only stairs—so be aware of this and be ready to get a bit of extra exercise every day!
I had a great stay at Qbeds! The location is perfect, everything is within walking distance, and it’s super easy to catch a bus if needed. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. I stayed in a private room, which was quiet and comfortable. It’s not very big, but just right for one person. The showers are a bit tight, but they work fine. I really liked the shared spaces, there’s a nice mix of modern design and old charm. Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful place to eat. So comfortable and quiet. Having a few snacks for breakfast options were nice too. Beautiful and specious place with so many apps to relax. The lazy forest was my favourite! I wish there was bigger show stalls so I could change right after it was a bit cramped. Overall would definitely recommend
Pros Very beautifully designed Not that far from.main locations as long as you are OK to walk 15-20 minutes They have great amenities like reading room,Board games,gym and movie theater. Lots of space to just lounge on a lazy day Cons Beds are Wayyyyy to cramped,you CAN NOT sit up straight without banging your head Stange thing is that they have high ceilings so they could have had beds with more head space You have to make your own bed when you come in,fitted sheets an all I know SMH !! Showers are not the best but they are always clean so can't complain much. The showed space is literally like a 4 by 4 box No storage cabinets just under bed drawers that are squeaky and inconvenient to say the least. Over all the room amenities can improve but alverall good!
WOW! SUCH an amazing hostel… One of the best places I’ve stayed at in a while. The cleanliness, the spaciousness, the creative rooms, and the kind staff all made for an amazing and unique experience. Whether you’re planning on staying out or staying in most of the day, you will love every moment being here. There is no going wrong with QBEDS!!!
Good place. Location is perfect. Took 15 mins walking, if not less, to the old town. It is clean here. Staff are friendly. They are located just above a bar which when I stayed there over the weekend had a private function and the music was heard around the whole of the place. They do send messages in advance about this and ask to let them know if that's a problem, maybe they have quieter rooms but I ignored this at the time. They provide free breakfast - something basic like juice, fruits, yoghurt but better than nothing. Overall, good stay with the exception of the noise
A restored historic mansion turned hostel. It offers private rooms on the top floor, separate from the shared dorms with bunk beds. Many guests are families with children, yet solo travelers will find the atmosphere both peaceful and welcoming. There is a indoor forest with hammocks, a library, and even a gym and a cinema. The hostel’s spirit is all about meeting new people, a perfect home away from home. The location is perfect for the Quebec Winter Carnaval as the parade passes right across the street!
Central borough home to Old Quebec historic attractions, Battlefields Park & a lively dining scene.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
