People rave about the unbeatable location on Square St-Louis and the great views of the St. Lawrence River from the balconies, but what sets this hotel apart is the charming service. It occupies two floors of the Institut de Tourisme et d'Hôtellerie du Québec, an internationally known school that trains students seeking careers in the hospitality industry. Working in the hotel is an integral part of their education, and as a result you're cared for by squads of smiling, eager-to-please young people in crisp uniforms. Students also staff the bar and the ground-floor restaurant where student chefs sharpen their skills in the kitchen. Pros : rooms with balconies; earnest, friendly service. Con : earnest doesn't always mean polished.
