This male-only hotel is around the corner from the sights, bars and restaurants of both the Old Upper Town and St-Jean Baptiste and has a gay sauna below it. It's in a lovely old brick building from the 19th century, and though the 11 gray-toned rooms are a bit dark, they're well-sized. Four rooms share a bath.
