From the heights of Chateau Frontenac Québec down to the St Lawrence River, the city has a beautiful mix of French architecture, history and lush green spaces to enjoy.

Québec City Neighborhood Guide – Best Places to Stay in Québec City
Old Quebec
Old Quebec has a charm I thought could only be found in Europe. Historic buildings, stone houses, cobbled streets and a fairy tale-like castle is essentially what Old Quebec is made of
Saint Sacrement
The Saint Sacrement neighbourhood is mostly residential and located on the Quebec Hill, to the West of the old town
Saint Jean Baptiste
Sandwiched between the traditional Old Quebec and the hip Saint Roch, Saint Jean-Baptiste is a laid back neighbourhood that mixes the vibes perfectly
Saint Roch
Saint Roch is the hip neighbourhood of Quebec City. Sitting right on the edge of Old Quebec, it offers an exceptional situation to access all the city’s main sights while giving up a relaxed and trendy atmosphere
Vieux Port
Vieux Port means the old harbour in English and is exactly that! Situated at the bottom and on the slopes of the Quebec hill, it has an old charm and cobbled streets just like the Old Quebec neighbourhood
Québec City is not the biggest city in the French-speaking province of Québec in Canada (Montreal is), but it is the political capital. The town is quieter and more relaxed than staying in Montreal and has generally more intricate architecture.
Québec City is a beautiful place in Canada with loads of different areas to stay in. So, let me take you through my favourites.
The Old Québec, known as Upper Town, is the oldest part of the city and is nested on top of a hill overlooking the St Lawrence River. Its narrow cobbled streets and historic buildings can easily confuse you to make you believe you are in Europe. You can also walk along the fortified walls, lined up with cosy little restaurants and cafés.
Down the hill, the Vieux Port (Old Harbour), also known as Lower Town, is quieter. People come here to stroll along the St Lawrence River, and the Museum of Civilization is a good cultural stop in the area. There is not much going on around the Vieux Port at night, so it is perfect for those looking for a quiet place to sleep.
For those on a budget, Saint Sacrement is the spot for you. It’s just outside of the tourist areas, which means local vibes and local places. However, with great public transport, you can easily access the main attractions from here.
Meanwhile, the cool kids hang out in Saint Roch, a neighborhood located next to Old Québec. Here, you will find hip bars, restaurants and unique fashion stores, along with a few bars and pubs that bring life to the area in the evening.
The Saint Jean-Baptiste neighborhood is also a great place to go out and meet some new friends – the people in Québec are very friendly! Nightclubs stay open until late on the weekend and there are lots of bars from which to grab a nice cold beer.
Québec City’s Five Best Neighborhoods to Stay in
You may still feel confused about where to stay in Québec City right now. Let’s clear that up and take a look at the five best neighborhoods to stay in Québec City.
Neighborhood #1 – Old Québec (Where to stay in Québec your first time)
Old Québec has a charm I thought could only be found in Europe. Historic buildings, stone houses, cobbled streets and a fairytale-like castle are essentially what you’ll find within the city walls.
Two neighborhoods make up this popular tourist spot: Upper Town and Lower Town, connected by funicular or the famous Breakneck Steps.
On the edge of the hill, the Frontenac Castle stands tall. Opened in 1893, the castle has actually always been a hotel. Its architecture was inspired by the castles found in the Loire Valley in France, and the building has been expanded several times over the years. Today, you can still spend the night in the Frontenac Castle, now managed by Fairmont, but be prepared to pay a hefty sum for that treat!
Nest to the castle, the Dufferin Terrace offers a great point of view over the St Lawrence River and the city of Lévis on the other side. During the winter, you can play in the snow and build snowmen with the local kids! It’s a beautiful Christmas destination.
Hotel Marie Rollet | Best Budget Hotel in Old Québec
The Hotel Marie Rollet is a gem in the heart of the old city. Located in an old stone house, the hotel offers comfortable rooms with a private bathroom, air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Some of the rooms also have a view over the city and a work desk.

This Old Québec hotel also has its own bar and restaurant serving French, bistro-style cuisine. You can enjoy a meal on a beautiful terrace in the warmer months.
If your plan in Québec is to visit The Chateau Frontenac, look no further – this hotel is right outside of it. Some rooms even have a view of the famous landmark.
HI Québec Auberge Internationale de Québec | Best Hostel in Old Québec
The Auberge Internationale de Québec has a great location in the centre of the Old City. It is also the largest hostel to stay in Canada, with more than 266 beds!

We’ve tested countless backpacks over the years, but there’s one that has always been the best and remains the best buy for adventurers: the broke backpacker-approved Osprey Aether and Ariel series.
Want more deetz on why these packs are so damn perfect? Then read our comprehensive review for the inside scoop!
View on Osprey View on REINeighborhood #2 – Saint Sacrement (Where to stay in Québec on a budget)
The Saint Sacrement neighborhood is mostly residential and located on Québec Hill, to the West of the old town. It was named after the church called Eglise du Très Saint Sacrement. The church was completed in 1924 in a mixed Roman and Gothic style.
The area started populating during the 20th century when Québec City needed space to expand. The Saint Sacrement neighborhood officially became part of Québec City in 1913. (Fun bit of history there for ya!)
While there are not many tourist attractions around the area, it is easy to reach the main parts of town by car or public transport, and a good way to find cheaper hotels. Canada can be pretty expensive, so it’s good to save some money here and there. Take the time to look at how the locals live, and maybe make some new friends along the way!
In the summer and the winter, you can enjoy several parks such as Saint Sacrement Park. A curling practice is located there, so that could be your cue to try this very popular sport in Canada!

You can walk into the Old Town from here, but it is quite a mission! But don’t worry, it’s also on the main bus route to the Old Town – so you can jump onboard and be there in no time.
It also comes with a delicious breakfast to start your day off in Québec with a bang!

Neighborhood #3 – Saint Jean-Baptiste (Best area to stay in Québec City for nightlife)
Sandwiched between the traditional Old Québec and the hip Saint Roch, Saint Jean-Baptiste is a laid-back neighborhood that mixes the vibes perfectly.
In Saint Jean-Baptiste, you will find lots of little cafés and restaurants, and maybe the best French food you will find outside of France. I particularly recommend Bilig, a crêperie where you can have traditional crepes just like they make in Brittany. The restaurant is located in Rue Saint-Jean, where most of the action happens in Saint Jean-Baptiste.
While in the neighborhood, make sure to check out the chocolate museum, where you can learn about cocoa production and processing to turn it into chocolate.
Finally, a trip to Saint Jean-Baptiste would not be complete without ending the night in Le Dagobert, one of the best nightclubs in Québec City. It has several floors playing all kinds of different styles of music and comes complete with foam cannons and lasers.

In the summer, go for a picnic in the Jean-Paul l’Allier garden and mingle with the locals. A few years ago, the park used to be a wasteland. However, since the beginning of the rehabilitation process of the Saint Roch area, many efforts have been made to make the neighborhood greener. The Jean-Paul l’Allier garden is a great result of that process and a spot you should check out.
Le 253 | Best Hotel in Saint Roch
This is easily one of the best hotels in Québec City. Le 253 is a bed and breakfast offering comfortable rooms with a private bathroom, a seating area, a microwave, a private patio and air conditioning.

Neighborhood #5 – Vieux Port (Best neighborhood to stay in Québec City for families)
Vieux Port means the old harbour in English and is exactly that! Situated at the bottom and on the slopes of Québec Hill, it has an old charm and cobbled streets just like the Old Québec neighborhood above. However, Vieux Port offers a much quieter environment and is a great place to stay for families who want to get some good rest at night.
During the summer, several festivals are organised along the port. One of the best ones is the fireworks festival, where grand fire shows are held at night!
For a true taste of Canadian cuisine, indulge in a breakfast poutine at Buffet de l’Antiquaire. You will be served a mountain of fries, ham, sausage, cheese and egg, covered in hollandaise sauce. Trust me when I say it is delicious and you will not be hungry for lunch!

Hide Yo’ Money!FAQs About Finding a Place to Stay in Québec City
Here’s what people usually ask me about the areas of Québec City and where to stay.
What To Pack For Québec City
Pants, socks, underwear, soap?! Take it from me, packing for a hostel stay is not always quite as straightforward as it seems. Working out what to bring and what to leave at home is an art I have perfected over many years.
Ear Plugs

Hanging Laundry Bag
Trust us, this is an absolute game changer. Super compact, a hanging mesh laundry bag stops your dirty clothes from stinking, you don’t know how much you need one of these… so just get it, thank us later.
Sea To Summit Micro Towel
Hostel towels are scummy and take forever to dry. Microfibre towels dry quickly, are compact, lightweight, and can be used as a blanket or yoga mat if need be.

Final Thoughts On Where to Stay in Québec City
Québec City is full of old charm, and at the same time vibrant with youth. I love walking around the small cobbled streets and getting the feeling I am in Europe. Then end the night with great Canadian food (you HAVE to try poutine) and crazy dancing at Le Dagobert.
My favourite place to stay in Québec City is the Old Québec, for its charm and proximity to all the main sights. In the winter, it becomes a real winter, snowy wonderland.
My favourite hotel is without a doubt the Hotel Manoir Morgan which offers nicely decorated and comfortable rooms near the Vieux Port and the Old Town. You’ll be a stone’s throw from all the good stuff Quebec has to offer.
If you are operating on a backpacker’s budget, HI Québec Auberge Internationale de Québec is a clean, comfortable and friendly option. Also in the heart of the city, you’ll be close to delicious food and epic landmarks.
