Hotel Terrasse Dufferin

This is a nice little hotel in an amazing location in Old Quebec (practically next to the Fairmont, and fronting the promenade overlooking the St. Lawrence). It is by no means a luxurious or trendy hotel, but it is clean and very reasonable rates for the location, and the management was very friendly (and spoke both French and English), and they accommodated my late evening arrival with self-check in instructions. I had a regular queen room without the river view (it just looked onto the other buildings behind the hotel), which was perfectly fine, especially if you plan to be out and about most of the day. There was some light noise from the room directly overhead, but overall it was fairly quiet (it is a small hotel, so there aren't many other guests to make noise!) There was no included breakfast, but the room was stocked with free little snacks in the refrigerator (granola bar, etc.) and had a small in-room coffeemaker w/coffee and tea provided. The location was great - I walked everywhere (to/from train station, all around upper and lower old city, to/from Plains of Abraham and port area where the Strom spa is, and to/from St. Roch (a trendier neighborhood below the old city). As long as you are prepared for uphill/downhill on walks, there's no need for a car if you stay here. I would definitely stay here again if I were to revisit Quebec!

From beginning to end, this was a wonderful stay. Amelie makes the whole experience fantastic. She is the perfect host: helpful, responsive, warm, delightful. Our room on the third floor was like a one-bedroom apartment. Bright, immaculately clean, warm, with a beautiful view of the river. Location is excellent between the Chateau and the toboggan slide, a few feet away from restaurants, shops, and Christmas markets. We can't wait to return!

We arrived at Hotel Terrasse Dufferin and WOW what an awesome surprise. We were greeted by Amélie, who instantly made us feel welcome and like we were the most important guests ever! The hotel in our opinion is perfectly situated right near the Chateau with views of the river. Our room was also great we couldn’t fault it, large and very comfortable. We originally booked for 2 and stayed for 5 nights. Amélie and Simon have only taken over the hotel recently, we wish them the very best in their new venture with all the plans for improvements they have and are positive they will be extremely successful. We will be back!!
