Editor's Review

Overview
Located within the walls of fortified Old Quebec, the Hotel l'Ermitage is popular with pedestrian travellers who prefer a small boutique-style hotel with a free breakfast. About a 1-minute drive from Highway 175, but with $18 daily parking, this hotel is also suited to travellers with access to a vehicle who like easy highway access and don't mind paying to park.
This hotel has 10 air-conditioned unique guest rooms, all of which offer one or two double beds, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a desk, a coffeemaker, an iron and ironing board and a hair dryer. Rooms also come with either an iPod docking station or a CD and DVD player.
The check-in desk for this hotel is at its sister property, Hotel Acadia, located across the street from the hotel. Guests are welcome to use several of the on-site services and amenities at Hotel Acadia, including a spa, a summer deck and valet service from 8 am to 8 pm daily.
The Hotel l'Ermitage offers a business centre and a hot tub on site. A free, all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet is available around the corner, about 1 minute away on foot, at Le Feu Sacre Resto-Grill, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Parking is available for $18 per day, pets are not permitted, and the hotel does not have an elevator.
Quartier Petit Champlain offers shopping about a 9-minute walk from the hotel, while Quebec City Hall is a 5-minute walk northeast. Esplanade Park is one block southwest, and Jean-Lesage International Airport (YQB) is roughly a 22-minute drive westward. (All distances and travel time estimates: Google Maps)
Verified with a front desk agent: Free Wi-Fi, parking $18/day, pets not permitted, not wheelchair accessible. (Call date: April 27, 2013)

The Bad
While the majority of reviews consulted for this analysis were positive, there were a few common complaints about the lack of elevator and noise transfer.
A few guests commented on the hotel's lack of elevator. One reviewer said that bringing luggage up to his or her third-floor room was a challenge.

However, it should be noted that the staff at Hotel Acadia, where the check-in desk is located, are willing to assist with luggage upon request.
Noise transfer was mentioned by a few lodgers. They reported being able to hear guests in adjacent rooms, noisy in-room air conditioning units and noise in rooms facing the street.
