Positive Reviews
positive:
Close proximity to many great attractions.
If you are in Québec City for a cruise, you can drive to the cruise ship port in a few minutes. Other destinations close to the Hotel Royal William include the train station, a 15-minute walk away, and the popular Petit Champlain, also a 15-minute walk. Guests found they could walk to Old Québec in 30 minutes, but cautioned about the steep streets sometimes found in the city.
positive:
Spacious rooms.
Room to spare was a welcome surprise for many guests. High ceilings and large windows contributed to a feeling of spaciousness in many rooms.
positive:
Helpful staff.
Fully bilingual staff often went above and beyond to accommodate guests. Between rolling in beds, recommending a thorough selection of dining options, or just greeting guests with a smile, visitors to the Hotel Royal William felt they were given great service.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking across the street.
Those with mobility issues will want to be aware of parking across the street from the hotel. Some guests had a hard time finding the parking, and were further displeased with the high cost to leave their vehicle. While parking was relatively convenient and in a secure lot, some guests found a less expensive alternative close by.
negative:
Hard to find.
Finding the hotel proved to be difficult for even seasoned travelers, especially when driving by car. Surrounded by a number of one-way streets, many guests found themselves doing u-turns to make it to their destination.
negative:
Breakfast not all-inclusive.
While the complimentary continental breakfast was adequate for some, other guests found the cold selections limited. Guests are given a voucher for certain breakfast items, but having to choose between a hot drink and juice was frustrating for some. An option exists to upgrade to a hot breakfast.
