Staff (receptionist) often absent. While breakfast is included, it is, in fact, a kitchen at your disposal, and you need to prepare it yourself and do the dishes afterwards. It was a bit crowded and awkward at times (and not always clean).

Smart rooms, great location. The rooftop is also appreciated.

The space was a little tight, but good for one night

Excellent location in Old Quebec, near everything. Very clean and nice facilities.

the breakfast was not well organized, one day there was no bread and we did not know where to get more

the location is perfect, the place is really clean and looks new.

Room would have been small for 2 people and there was no comfortable chair to relax in. Breakfast was DIY with fruit, bread and eggs to cook for yourself. No decaf coffee or gluten free bread. Shower and toilet separate from wash basin which was in the bedroom.

This interesting hotel lives up to its name. The room was very modern with a bed that pushed up to the ceiling leaving room for a drop down table, bench and folding chair by day. Spotlessly clean. Lovely roof terrace with fireplace and a shady courtyard. Very good location for exploring the city and very close to many excellent restaurants and the departure point for local tours.

Nothing

Funky … unexpected room arrangement

The bed takes up the whole room when pulled down, so be aware that a big suitcase has to be under the bed for storage

Compact little room, with a bed that can be pushed up and stored under the ceiling so a table can be pulled out. The hotel has a kitchen available where you can cook.

No wardrobe space. That could be remedied with extra hooks/ pegs on the wall to hang clothing from. Small pool of water under the fridge. Could either be the fridge or the basin above it.

Small rooms, as mentioned. Wasn't expecting the lifting bed! The make your own meals is a good idea for the budget traveller, and the location is 11 out if 10. Our courtyard room was very quiet. the rooms on the street may be different. Ditto the rooms near the elevator. Bonus points for the terrace as courtyard. While reception is unmanned much of the day, when they were there the staff were helpful, and spoke excellent English. Just as well as my French is horrible. Plenty of food options within easy walking distance too. Friendly locals as well.

Morning breakfast was below average on that price and most irritating part is you have to make yourself and clean the utensils.

Because of the design of the bed/table structure. the bed is slightly too high to get into it comfortably, you always need to hop in. I'm 5ft10 and I've never had this problem before. The worst part is it was just a question of inches, 2-3 inches at most. It's just unfortunate that it was designed like this. The layout of the "lobby" to get into our rooms was a bit awkward. You had to walk in by the big glass door, then walk to the end of the lobby, then turn left and walk back, then turn right and walk forward again to some stairs. It happened a couple of times where we ran into other people in the little backwards corridor.

Perfect location in the heart of Old Quebec. Easily reachable from St-Jean street which makes it super easy to find. The yard and terrace were really cool, tho we didn't spend much time there. The combination of amenities in the room and the shared kitchen was a good middle ground between a hostel and a hotel.

I did not like the fact that it was a surprise that they expected $150 deposit on arrival, it was not mentioned when i first booked the room

Really small rooms and not much to eat in the kitchen. broken coffee machine and no receptionist

Clean and homey

The room was a bit tight on space to move around in. If we weren’t sleeping, we really couldn’t relax and lounge for a while. Some tv channels would be nice. Couldn’t really figure out how to sign on. And cream for coffee would be nice!

Great location, close to everything! Restaurants, parking garage. The room was quirky and very different from regular hotels. We like quirky and unique. It had everything we needed and a nice view of Quebec. Comfortable bed. We liked the heat pump feature. Everything was labeled and very modern. Great utilization of small space. Friendly staff! Nice variety of breakfast foods. Had a good laugh when first walking into the room and wondered “how are we going to climb into the bed”? Realized it had to be pulled down. :)

No interaction with any of the hotel staff. When we arrived there was a person at the counter but since there was an online check in he did not even greet us or ask us if he could assist with the online check in. The bed was a little high for us. The bathroom exhaust was not working.

Room has most of the things we need. We can also get coffee and cook food anytime of the day.

We could've used more pillows. The two we had were quite beat, not really fluffy. The room also could've used some cleverly designed shelves on the walls for more storage space. We just had the drawer under the seat and the hooks on the wall for our coats. The kitchen also could've used some new non-stick pans. Some of those were not very good for making eggs or pancakes and were quite worn out.

We really loved having a communal kitchen that we can use any time. The dining area was also really cozy. I really don't understand the negative reviews regarding the breakfast provided. Sure it was basic fare for breakfast but it was well stocked and replenished every morning. Having that was really helpful for us travelling on a certain budget. The room was unlike anything we've stayed at before. The space was a bit small but utilized with creative minimalism. We couldn't figure out how to bring down the bed at first because we thought we had to press a button that we couldn't find anywhere. Turns out we just had to stow away the dining table and just pull the bed down. The bed was a bit high but not really an issue. The view from our room was lovely specially at sunset. The Morrin Centre is just out front, and there was even a Ghost Tour one evening. It was quite fun and interesting looking out the window seeing the tour guides in costume. Overall, we loved our cozy and relaxing stay here. I'd say for the price we paid, it was really worth it!

The shower water splashed out a bit though it wasn’t so bad after we lowered the shower curtain. You have to be able to carry your luggage up the stairs.

Great location, we had a lovely view down the hill. We enjoyed the ingenious bed arrangement that made good use of the space. There was a good range of breakfast available in the kitchen.

The mattress is really hot and uncomfortable but the pillows are good. Sink not in bathroom. Breakfast is very rudimentary (eggs, bread, ok oranges and pancake mix)

Location very central. Walked to main attractions, restaurants. Communal kitchen was very convenient although fellow guests do not always wash after themselves. This hotel and Hotel Champlain have the same owner and the staff there is exceptional, so if there is a problem at Atypiq, we can get help from Champlain.

Regularly in hotels there is always a person in the hotel reception. There is a bit of fear in doing something wrong without someone from the hotel guiding you, but in my case everything was fine.

The location is excellent in a perfect area and the rooms well deserve the atypical category: comfortable but at the same time different from the standards of tourist hotels.

Thr check in was in the building next door. I wish they said that in advance. Breakfast was pretty crowded and food minimal but it was ok

Very minor thing: if you stay in room 215 near the terrace during the winter, sometimes there is a snow shovel hanging up that can make a faint bumping sound. I just put the snow shovel on the ground, and it was fine after that. But really a very nice stay overall.

Great location right near the old city. Very easy to walk everywhere. The room is small, but cleverly designed and comfortable.

The breakfast. Pancake batter was horrible and it just stuck to the pan.

Loved the design and concept! Very comfortable, great location

Stayed in February 2024

The location was excellent. And, the name of the hotel matched the experience. It was a little atypical compared to other hotels. Atypical but charming. The murphy bed-like situation, and cooking my own breakfast was unique as hotel stays go.
