Auberge Aux Deux Lions

Auberge Aux Deux Lions is located on a busy main street of mostly other residential houses and buildings in downtown Quebec city. It's located in a rambling house with guest rooms on each of the four floors, including the basement, connected by a central staircase. However, there's no elevator and the many stairs may be a challenge for guests with limited mobility. The interior spaces are bright and cheery thanks to the high ceilings and many windows letting in lots of natural light, and the decor is homey without being overdone or cluttered. The wooden furniture and interior doors are finished in warm tones, and the tile floors are covered with rugs. A few plants decorate the space. This hotel is especially popular with vacationing couples.

Auberge Aux Deux Lions is centrally located in the heart of Quebec City, in the delightful Montcalm district, near restaurants, cafes, markets, and bakeries. The historical district of Old Quebec is a seven-minute drive away, and getting to the Place Royale Museum, Chateau Frontenac, and the Museum of Civilization takes around eight minutes by car. It's a three-minute walk to Grand Theatre de Quebec, a six-minute walk to La Maison Henry-Stuart, and just over 10 minutes on foot to the Quebec Convention Center, the Quebec Parliament Building, and the Edwin-Belanger Bandstand. The National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec and the Plains of Abraham are around 15 minutes away on foot. 

Rooms at the Auberge Aux Deux Lions vary in size and layout, but they are clean and decorated in a similar, simple classic style, typical of a mid-range hotel. The brown curtains match the dark furniture and contrast with white walls and the hardwood floors. All rooms are air-conditioned and have flat-screen TVs. Some of the Superior Rooms have rustic-style stone walls. Many of the rooms are bright and have high ceilings, while the basement rooms are darker, but not unpleasant despite the low ceilings. The Family Room has one double bed and two singles. The attached bathrooms are kept in good shape and come equipped with either shower/tub combos or walk-in showers. Some of the budget rooms have private bathrooms located just outside the doors, but they aren't shared with other rooms. Some of the Superior Rooms feature living areas and kitchenettes (complete with microwaves, refrigerators, and coffeemakers), and some have balconies or access to the hotel garden. There are also shared kitchen facilities accessible by all guests. 

The Auberge offers a continental breakfast for a fee, but guests who prefer to prepare their own meals can make use of the shared kitchen facilities, which include a fridge, a microwave, and coffee- and tea-making facilities. There's also a guest lounge and a garden terrace. Other paid services include laundry and parking. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
