Nice Place For Dinner & Breakfast
by Mikebb about Allegro In Hilton Hotel
This restaurant is located within the Hilton Quebec Hotel where we had 2 nights accommodation. We had buffet breakfast twice and our evening meal on one evening.
Breakfast was very good with a broad selection of hot and cold foods plus pancakes with maple syrup. Breakfast time was extremely busy and very hard to get a table in this large dining room.
The night we had dinner we started with soup, followed by beef steak with vegetables followed by sweets and coffee. A very nice evening meal .
Walking Tours

Quebec is a very walkable city, although I wouldn't recommend anyone duplicating all the walking we did in one day!
We started from Chateau Frontenac and walked up St. Anne to Des Jardins and back down Buade. The large, silver-roofed building on our right was a university, we discovered - not open to tourists, but nice to look at. We worked our way counter-clockwise around the walls, then dipped down outside the walls to the Old Port Market and the Chateau-esque train station. Back inside the walls, we walked through Artillery Park and out Port St. Jean, one of the remaining historic gates in the wall.
Welcome to the modern world! We went to the Hilton Quebec on Rene Levesque (on the advice on a VT member, looking for a great view of the city,) but weren't able to get to any windows on the top floor.
Next it was around the traffic circle by Parliament to the Plains of Abraham west of the Citadel. We skipped the Citadel tour, but wandered around its outer ramparts and back down to the Chateau. Whew!
Stay in Shack

Really, you'll be more comfortable. I visited Quebec City hilton two weeks ago and stayed a weekend during the Quebec "Festival of Summer". The steep price of the Hilton, I'm told, was discounted at $199 CDN *Thanks!*.
The views from the room were incomparable. They are, I'm sure, the best in the city- Parliament, The Frotenac, The St. Laurent, numerous churches and the picturesque Latin Quarter- all part of the panorama. The beds were not very comfortable and quite comparable to good motel. You pay for everything in the room except one (1) cup of morning coffee using the machine in your room. If you deviate fom coffee (we had tea), Yikes! $1.50 ea.
The service: you get better service from a can of tuna. Blank stares from the front desk staff about even the simplest questions like "How do I get tothe Latin Quarter?" The answer I did not get is "Out the door and turn left. Cross the street." You constantly have the feeling that you are imposing on their time and that it is your privilege to stay in the hotel and the city.
This is a hotel to avoid. Better deals and friendlier staff elsewhere.
Great view, if nothing else

We stayed in a 20th floor room, with an unbeatable view of Quebec. Hotel room was clean, but in need of some upgrades. The bed was very uncomfortable. I would expect better beds in hotels charging half the rate of the Hilton Quebec. This hotel is lacking in the free amenities as I have become use to at other hotels, even the in room coffee and tea were part of the mini bar charge. The hotel was full due during our stay, and my request for a late checkout was given a one hour extension, likely due to my status as a silver Hilton Honors member. I was told we could store our bags in the check room, since our departure was 5 hours later. It then cost $2 to store each bag. Positive notes regarding the hotel were: The concierge was helpful, obtaining reservations for us. The good location just outside the walled city, and the view from the upper floors.
Great location and room!

We booked this hotel on priceline so i didn't know i was going to get it and we're so glad we did! The hotel is right at the doors of the old city but yet close to st. jean and grand allee street too so you had shopping, restaurants, and night life all within walking distance! we only used the car once to go see the falls which are only 5-10 minutes away! the rooms are clean and comfortable, bathroom has marble in it and looks updated. The view from the rooms are fabulous and i would definitely return again here! the hotel staff is VERY friendly and helpful!
Good, but could do better

Basically, this hotel enjoys a splendid location between the 'Coline Parlementaire' administrative district and the old, touristy bits of Quebec, and its twenty-three floors offer stupendous views over the city. Its rooms are large and airy (literally, as they have an unusual flap in the external wall that admits fresh air). Where it does fall down is in its over-formulaic approach to customer requests; for example, a request that the breakfasts in the Executive lounge should include plain, ordinary bread as well as the many highly-sugared patisseries was met with a simple refusal. So much for anyone on a diet!
Great Views, hospitable staff, cheap mattress
by TripAdvisor Member occasionaltravels
I actually booked the Delta next door but was displaced here for one night because of Delta's overbooking. The facade and lobby looked very classy and receptionists were courteous. The upper floors and hotel rooms were a little bit of a step down, like the hallways seemed 60s-70ish just like the Delta. The room was very clean, nice granite bathroom, but the king bed was like a large cot, not a good mattress at all, and the country-motif bedspread was really cheesy. I've never stayed in a Hilton before and this place was bit lower quality than what I'd expect.
