La Belle Planete Backpacker Hostel Downtown Quebec Reviews

Expect nothing more than the price of $22 a night. Location is okay but downtown quebec is pretty boring and the hype is more in the old city. Had a private room which was on the top floor. Bed was very average...it would squeak with the slightest movement. Staff were friendly upon arrival which was nice. However on our second night we saw the owner push and punch someone who had rung the bell after 11pm which was entirely unnecessary. Was very glad to be leaving this hotel by the end.

Everyone can enter the hostel, there is no real security because the outdoor locker is broken.

hi just tell you that I had the worst service I've ever had. The manager had a homophobic comportement with me. His little white dog tried to bite me 2 times and he found that funny and did nothing to stop his dog. The room and the showers was durty. No check in before 3pm and you have to pay cash only. There is no safe place to store the bags and trust me with this manager you dont want leave your bags to him. It's better to pay a little more and get something better to somewhere else.

Staff treated me well, showed places of interest in Quebec providing me a map for free. But few things to improve: beds should be already prepared just not to lose time for arranging, covering pillow and stuff like that. No soap neither towel, neither shampoo in the bathroom. So after washroom I had to go to the kitchen to use a dishwashing mean to wash my hands. And it was cold inside. Overall it is ok, but for this price you have a right to expect smth better.

The light was very dim. There are lot of strange rules you don't really understand.

Stuff were really rude to us. The boss is a disagreable person, but may be you will be lucky not to meet him. Atmosphere in this place was very unpleasant and I am really dissatisfied. We were in 8 people room and didn't have a key from the room to lock our things inside. There was no breakfast and you could drink only alcohol you bought in here. On the other side, location of hostel is pretty good and there is free wi-fi.

There was no hot water for showering when we stayed there. Not sure if it was just because there were so many other guests or if this is the norm.

My experience at this hostel was very very poor. I'm there on vacation and an employee immediately started badmouthing America and Obama to me. Politics have a place and it's not my vacation. He basically asked me for money one day and I heard him call me a shyster another day. I saw dog poop on the carpet and we were asked to take our shoes off. Staffing was very poor. The room smelled.

I really enjoyed my stay. The only downside is that you have to walk up the stairs to upper town whenever you want to go to the Old Town, but for Downtown the location is perfect. The two computers with free internet access were especially useful. I liked the pretty and clean bathrooms and the homely kitchen. Will definitely come again when I'm in Québec.
