Auberge de la Fontaine, Montreal
Expert reviews
“Situated in the hip Plateau neighborhood, the 21-room Auberge de la Fontaine lies across the street from leafy Parc La Fontaine — home to an outdoor skating rink — and down the street from Lab cocktail bar. Certain rooms have whirlpool baths.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Montreal.
“The Auberge de La Fontaine is uphill from downtown on the Plateau, with its fun restaurants, shops and an 86-acre park. The 21 rooms in two adjoining 19th-century buildings are comfy, clean and attractively furnished. Even better, the very reasonable prices include a fulsome breakfast.”

Wonderful, relaxing, romantic.
Beautiful clean boutique hotel. Perfect location across the street from a beautiful park. Great breakfast ( additional cost but worth it) and around the corner from a coffee/ croissant shop. Sit in the park and enjoy watching kids play, bikers in the park.
No elevator and our room was on the 3 rd floor

Nice hotel
Very nice and frindly staff. Location is good, near big park and within walking distance from city center.
Sofa bed was broken in our room. It was quite a challenge to sleep on it.

Staying on the Plateau? The Auberge is centrally located and has helpful staff.
Great location across from a large park and within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants, bars and music venues.
Room size was a little tight but,... it is an old building.

Very good
Great clean hotel right at the Parc and in the heart of the plateau Mont-royal. Friendly staff. Good water pressure. Aircondintioning.
I’d prefer if the Airco could be regulated or switched off individually per room. Not a big deal though.

Fabulous
Very nice staff. Room was clean and comfortable.
Have to be prepared for lack of an elevator (which was stated on their web site, so not a surprise).

Really comfortble, clean, and great location with helpful staff
The room was small, but exactly what we needed as we were mainly out and about in the neighbourhood. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but not noisy.
Breakfast was fine, but not worth the price they are charging. We also had an issue getting in one evening (we extended our stay but our keys were not updated to work after hours).

Would love to return and spend more time enjoying L'Auberge as well as the area.
Our room was great with a separate suite in addition to the bedroom and there was a tub in the bedroom which i thoroughly enjoyed! The Continental breakfast was delicious and we didn't have to go hunting for a place to eat in the a.m.
The only issue was that no one offered to carry bags upstairs which the description on their website said they would. It would have been helpful as there were a lot of stairs.

It was perfect
Small hotel, well located but very quiet. Anyone at the front desk was helpful, patient & spoke English (bonus).
I had T walk 2 flags guys of stairs. In fairness, I knew our choice in advance and they offered to bring up the suitcases and bring them down

Relaxing. The bed was great.
Coffee is available at any time of day, a nice bonus. The room was sunny with east window. The location was lovely as we could get on the bike path. The park across Rue Rachel is also very enjoyable. What a nice stay !

Very comfortable, convenient and quiet
The property is close to a bustling park and busy neighborhood (but not loud). Really good restaurant options close by and not too far from old Montreal. Not in a particularly touristy area. Room was spacious and clean.

We had a very nice stay there and we especially appreciated the kind, friendly and helpful staff.
The place was quite charming but the best thing about it was how lovely and helpful all the staff members were. They went out of their way to be welcoming and assist us in any way possible.
The room was quite small and it was a long way up steep stairs with no elevator.

Home from home... Great staff and wonderful rooms...
Made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. I had some motorcycle trouble and they let me sit in the lounge area for hours after check out helping myself to free coffee etc snd then they looked after my excess luggage for 2 weeks. Amazing room so well equipped. A great breakfast and in a wonderful location.
Nothing to dislike about this place.

Nice stay but not quite as nice as I remember the hotel from pre-covid times
The room was very comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful, the location is great.
There were no snacks in the kitchen, or in the fridge, I remember liking this small detail a few years back. Breakfast was nice but the croissants were not great and the bagels were not even Montreal bagels. The selection of cheeses was boring, no real interesting cheeses. I'll go out for breakfast next time!

This is an excellent value & the location is safe, beautiful, & close to delicious restaurants.
We loved the location & the staff- they were so helpful & friendly. Our room was on the 3rd floor so there were a lot of steps. Staff helped with our luggage. It’s showing its age & the bathroom needs an update. We paid for breakfast & Enjoyed the various options.
The bathroom could be remodeled. Lots of stairs.

Nice Stay at the Fontaine
Staff moved us to a larger, nicer room upon request. Breakfast was plentiful and good, not inc. in our rate. Location was great for walking around this neighborhood in Montreal (not to walk to Vieux Montreal).
We knew ahead of time and no surprises, but the flight of stairs to the upstairs rooms is long.

The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make sure guests were comfortable
The location was close to all we wanted to see and do.
There is no elevator. However, the people worked there were available to help.

Lovely place to stay, nice small hotel with very friendly staff.
Nice clean room with two Queen beds and on-suit and nice and quiet. Good to have a fridge and coffee making facilities in the room, decent size wardrobe with ironing board and iron. Very good continental breakfast and great that you have the option to make use of a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your own food, there is drip coffee in the kitchen and a variety of teas to help yourself to. Staff very friendly in particular I’d like to mention the very friendly receptionist Maha who was very informative regarding places to visit and eat and was a delight to talk to. Great location opposite Parc de la fontaine
