Reviews of Auberge du Jardin 3 stars

Spacious, bright room Huge bed Clear instructions for self check-in

Room doesn't get cleaned unless you ask. Contrary to statement on Booking.com and their website, the restaurant is NOT open in the evenings. It serves brunch until 14.00, nothing else. There is little other possibility to eat in the village in the evenings. The room has a microwave but no plates, cutlery or kettle and the local shop doesn't sell microwave meals. After a few days here, we were seriously hungry! Lack of contact with reception staff felt unwelcoming

Location is good, near whale trip in baie st Christine. Staff is good and room is ok. Breakfast is expensive but tasty.

Our stay was very pleasant! Lea and her crew were very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with the shower that was fixed the very next day. Food at the restaurant is delicious and breakfast is totally worth it

Spacious room. Big lawn where you can relax. Tasty food .

Not much. It’s a self check in and we were a bit lost because there were no indications to where to find the hot drinks..very noisy from 8 am with people coming to park their cars.

The breakfast was delicious. Very friendly & nice informal place

The plumbing

Wonderful 2 nights in the beautiful little village. Will definitely be back when visiting Saguenay.

Everything was perfect.

The location was good for us between Saguenay and Quebec, allowing us to break the drive. Room was simple, but clean and had everything we needed. The location was lovely and quiet. It was great to hear the birdsong in the morning. We met the owner the next morning who was very friendly.

The location is beautiful.

We were there in the off season on a Sunday evening so there were no restaurants open within half an hour’s drive. To be expected I suppose.

Staff is very nice and breakfast very healthy

Mattresses need to be changed, not comfortable

Location is good, close to the national park

We never met any ownership related staff. Our name was posted on the door and room was assigned. No way to make changes even we booked the hotel early on. Our friends go with us. It looks like our room is together, yet, one is at the back. We have to drive back and forth to get both luggage load and unload. The hotel didn’t make it clear that they don’t provide meals, only breakfast can be purchased. They close at 2:00 pm. We didn’t know that so get back late and had hard time to find a place to eat. The cafe in this hotel is not really a cafe. Almost every thing they prepared are either frozen or ready to go style. It was cold, including the boiled eggs. They didn’t do a decent business. They just don’t prepare real food. Price is very high relative to the quality !

Nicely situated in petit-Saguenay with a beautiful garden and very nice young couple as hosts.

The self-checking was confusing and the restaurant is closed at night (off season?) when we thought it would be open.

Excellent location. Great breakfast !

The place is clean indoor and outdoors, the staff are attentive and kind. We also got a surprise upgrade and we stayed in the house next to the lodge.

This place is a gem. Under new ownership and they deserve to succeed. Mary especially was so helpful recommending sights and activities in the area. There is also an information booth across the road. The accommodations sit well back from the road and are very quiet. The property is spectacular with rolling lawns where you can relax in their chairs and admire the bird calls or gaze at the towering cliffs which rise from the back of the property. It is right in the centre of town and restaurants, groceries and liquor are within a stone’s throw. The town is a little gem with a salmon river running through it. Many hiking trails nearby. We stayed three nights and wished we had longer. The rooms are simply furnished but with many thoughtful touches. The breakfast area is delightful and we enjoyed their breakfast offerings.

We were welcome to charge our electric vehicle but access to a receptacle was difficult. A dedicated outlet would have been nice.

everything was perfect from the food to the rooms..

If you are interested in a property with beautiful grounds, friendly, accommodating hosts and a great jumping off point to the hiking and other sites south of the Saguenay, this should be on your list. The entire facility is spotless and has been well maintained by the owners for their 20+ years of ownership. This is very much a family operation with the kind of flexibility not often found with large "chain" operations. While there's not a "restaurant" in the traditional sense, there is a nice space dedicated to dining with nice views. You can make arrangements for breakfast and or dinner on a day by day basis, which provided great flexibility. There are "menu" choices for both meals with a good variety that should work for anyone. Everything was prepared to order and very good.

I'd really have to stretch to come up with anything to complain about, which wouldn't be fair. The facilities and services ranged from exceptional to very good.

Our room was very spacious and had a nice storage area for a suitcase and a holder for another suitcase. It was great that there was a door directly to the outside, so we could easily bring our luggage in. The common area was comfortable and full of interesting books, plus a fireplace that we didn't take advantage of. The hosts were welcoming and friendly.

I didn't like to have to pay extra for breakfast, at CAD 18 per person that would have added another almost CAD 60 to the bill. Cheaper to get breakfast elsewhere. Also didn't like that the common area closed at an early hour, and wasn't even open our 2nd night there.
