Hayden's Wexford House B&B
450 rue Champlain, Québec City, Québec G1K 4J3, Canada
Why We Like It
It's all about the genial hosts. With only three guest rooms to tend, hosts Sylvie and Jacques take the time to make everyone welcome. They answer questions and provide insider tips. Plus, guests get a discounted hot-air balloon ride with Jacques, a balloon pilot. We love the free parking and the B&B's garden, with a bench, flowers, and fountain. While there isn't a lot of privacy outside the bedrooms, this B&B is perfect for those who want to meet their hosts and enjoy good company.
Once a guest house for sailors, this restored B&B is full of heritage and personality. The attentive hosts, Jacques and Sylvie, make budget travelers, families, and young couples feel right at home. They serve a big, free, homemade breakfast.
YOU SHOULD KNOW There are two cats on site, Cashew and Matisse, who may pose a problem for guests with allergies.

Clean, smart, and well-appointed with robes, the bathrooms get the job done. At least one spacious bathroom has a soaker tub and a dormer window, plus a barn door divider.

What a facade! "Hayden's Wexford House" is stenciled on the outside brick wall, over the B&B's signature green doors and flower planters. Inside, the lobby is homey and warm, with two residential cats to greet guests.

Breakfast is served! Every morning, the hosts make guests a bountiful feast, served at a farmhouse table beside the fireplace.
Jacques and Sylvie are friendly and fun hosts, so reserve some extra time at breakfast to chat and hear their recommendations for meals and sightseeing.
