My husband and I have stayed in Tadoussac many times over the years. We come for the incomparable whale-watching coupled with spectacular scenery. For accommodations we seek a comfortable room with a kitchenette in a quiet location, walking distance to the center of town. Room #5 at Petit hotel La Passe-Pierre fit the bill. The back room of this cute, tiny building, has big windows that let in sun and fresh air. It's was a bonus to have a back door to a little yard where the clothesline came in handy for some wet tote bags from our cooler. The room is ideal for a couple, but we made it work for 3 with the use of a portable bed. The large bed was very comfortable with terrific bedding; our friend found the folding cot way too squishy, but the convertible single bed/chair passable, if not ideal. The bathroom has a nice corner shower and good lighting; hot water and pressure were plentiful. The WiFi worked well and the room has good storage, furnishings and supplies. I am assigning a rating of 4 rather than 5 because giving 5's to small, limited service accommodations usually sets future travelers up for disappointment, i.e. "why are people raving about this ?" Also, the included continental breakfast, while cheerfully brought to our room on trays as soon as we rang the bell in the hallway, was not to our taste. (weak coffee, supermarket quality baked goods, canned fruit, boxed orange juice, packaged peanut butter, butter & preserves--the latter were good.) Some people like this sort of fare, but we are foodies. Nevertheless, we would go back for the convenient location and other amenities and just fix our own breakfast or go downhill to the Cafe Boheme for a bol of café au lait corsé. All in all, a very good...
Read moreToutes les choses sont petits a Petit Passe-Pierre! Everything is small at Hotel Passe-Pierre! But it was very clean and ideally located in Tadoussac. If you are looking for a very basic & simple room, private but small shower, and want to eat a small breakfast consisting of a croissant and mini-muffin in the privacy of your room, then Passe-Pierre is perfect. |There is no real reception office, therefore you must ring a bell for service if you need something or have any questions. For this same reason, you must pay for your entire stay upfront when you arrive. The vestibule pictured on the website is the only one in the entire hotel and is smaller than pictured. ||I was a bit mislead by the website, thinking that this hotel was larger, more of a "boutique" that had lots of original artwork for sale, and had larger and more charming rooms and hallways. It was just a simple, clean room that you really don't want to spend more time in other than sleeping. Again, it's a clean room in an ideal location. If you are looking for just a clean and inexpensive place to crash in Tadoussac, look no further than...
Read moreMy wife and I came to Tadoussac for hiking and whale watching (we saw white belugas and other types of whales – right from the shore). We had a reservation for three nights at the Petit hotel La Passe-Pierre. The hotel really is small; it is a historic building that has been converted very tastefully into a bed and breakfast/Inn. Regular rooms are quite small. That’s why we asked for more space and ended up in a beautiful room/suite at the back of the Hotel. There is a small kitchen with a microwave (no stove) and a table to eat on. The bathroom is large (no tub), the floors are done in terracotta tiles, the bed is extremely comfortable. A backdoor leads onto a porch to the garden… Breakfast (included in the CAD 125/night) was served to our room in the mornings. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Communication happens mostly in French. Altogether this was a perfect stay – we will be back in this...
