Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Jeanne-d'Arc

This hotel is prized for its unbeatable location off tranquil Place du Marché Ste-Catherine, one of the city's lesser-known pedestrian squares, and for its gentler prices in an ever more costly neighborhood. The 17th-century building has been a simple hotel for more than a century, but a recent renovation imparted a clean, contemporary style to the small but functional rooms. Expect basic, comfortable accommodations and simple breakfasts. For more quiet request an upper floor. The welcoming staff is informal and happy to recount the history of this former market quartier.
