Our apartment for our stay in Quebec was wonderful. The apartment was roomy, clean and it was in such a great area of old Quebec town. The rooftop terrace was a great place to go up to each afternoon for drinks and watching the water traffic on the river. If we visit Quebec again we will stay here.

This charming property that was spacious, clean, and within walking distance of everything Old Quebec has to offer.

Outstanding place, unforgettable experience
Our group stayed at the Bluenose as part of a short-term study abroad university trip. Since one of our students is in a wheelchair, we needed accessible accommodations. This place was everything we needed and so much more. Everyone had space for themselves, but also to enjoy time as a group (meals, a movie, playing cards)... This was an outstanding place; we'd love to come back!

Beautiful condo, excellent location
Very spacious and lovely place. Well located and easy to walk through the old part of Quebec City, with restaurants and lovely shops just around the corner. The rooftop terrace was beautiful - the only downside was the occasional cruise ship parked in front. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.

Great for families
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Bluenose. The condo is very spacious and clean. The kitchen is well stocked and a lot of thought and care was put into making things more comfortable for families. There was a highchair, pack 'n play upon request, but there were also plates, cups, and cutlery for kids too. The property is quiet. The area was great. Parking is convenient and we were able to walk throughout all of Vieux Québec.

Our stay was terrific from the start! Pierre met us and oriented us to the condo and its amenities. Beautiful, clean, well appointed and a fabulous walkable location to explore Old Quebec and its surrounding areas. Would definitely return if back in the area and will recommend to friends and family. Lillian, our other host was accessible by phone if needed and called us to thank us for staying. Class!!

Trip to Old Quebec
We all loved it. Such a beautiful city. The house was close to everything. It looked out over the port. Just steps away from Old Quebec. One important thing to realize is you must be able to walk. Lots of walking. But so worth it!

Great location and wonderful accomodations for an extended family.
We loved staying at the Royal Dalhouise with our family of 12 in the 2 condos. Plenty of space, and in a great location. The hosts, Liliane and Pierre were quite helpful. Especially since, in one of the condos, the AC was not working and the overhead fans remotes were broken. That was a disappointment! But they brought in some floor fans and, thankfully, it was not too hot during our stay. Also, when we arrived, the drip coffee makers were missing as were corkscrews. As soon as we told them, they provided us with the items. We would definitely recommend the condos for families. If you book though, ask whether the AC is fixed. The Murrays

About the host

Hosted by Liliane Thivierge

Host profile image
The Biron family owns and operates the Royal Dalhousie building. The vision has been to turn this warehouse space into 8 luxury condos since 2011.

This is a family business, so we like to make sure our clients feel welcomed and at home when they arrive at the Royal Dalhousie. We have been living in Old Quebec City for many years, and love sharing our beautiful home with visitors from all around the world. We therefore look forward to meeting you, and offering you an amazing stay in one of our beautifully renovated condos, in the heart of Old Quebec.

Why they chose this property

The Royal Dalhousie is located in the heart of Place Royale. It is from this location that Samuel de Champlain constructed the first habitation; a farm and a shed. The location was named after Louis XIV and is one of the last remaining relics of 17th & 18th century buildings in North America.

All eight condos in the Royal Dalhousie offer breathtaking views of a park overlooking the St. Lawrence River, seen through 8-foot high windows. They also all have high ceilings, hardwood floors and exposed ceiling beams, which accentuate the rich history of these newly renovated condos.

What makes this property unique

SPECIAL NOTE:
This Place Royale condo has a FOUR Star rating from Tourism Quebec. This is the highest rating for any residential tourist accommodation in the Old City. Renting with us ensures that you are renting with an accredited owner with a permit from the City of Quebec and a 4-Star rating from Tourism Quebec! You want rental security? Your first question for any property owner should be "Are you an accredited rental home with the City of Quebec?"
If the answer is no, buyer beware!
