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.”

Great location, across from the park. Clean and very quiet at night, but its on the expensive side.
Front Desk staff was friendly and they allowed us to use their kitchen in the lobby (take allowed us to take their tupperware and etc...)
AC was not controlled in the room and you had to ask the premises host who lives in room 14 to adjust the temperature in your room.

Perfect location
The receptionist was very helpful upon arrival, taking my heavy suitcase up to the second floor, she really went above & beyond to be helpful. Also the night caretaker helped us find a good parking spot. Really appreciated the extra consideration

Great place to discover Montreal
The hotel was well situated in a calm but central area of Montréal. Loved the charm of the building. The bike rental next door was also a big plus. Highly recommended both!

Just what I needed at a fairly reasonable price for the city
Good location, especially as there are only a few places in that area. Amenities were overall good value. Was quiet.
Key card didn’t work for room at all, glad Serge the watchman was there to help as I arrived after 6pm (glad I checked email before phone died for instructions to enter) Stairs were a surprise but again Serge was there to help

We're so glad we stayed here instead of downtown--relaxing, quiet, cozy, and a great neighborhood!
The hotel is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood in walking distance of a bunch of interesting restaurants, shops, and the metro. Breakfast was delicious and all the staff were so warm and welcoming.
Our bathroom and shower were quite cramped, but it was otherwise very nice.

Wonderful room and staff made for a wonderful stay.
we had the front room with the balcony. it was a bit of a splurge but very much worth it. Really lovely. And the staff were excellent and could not have been friendlier. We will definitely stay here again.

Very nice place. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Check in was easy even though we arrived outside reception hour
The bed is comfortable, room is clean, staff is very helpful
Can’t control the room temperature, even though it was not a big problem for us.

Safe area for single traveler, central to a lot of interesting locations in the city.
Breakfast was really good, my first day they brought hot out of the oven croissants that were delicious. Breakfast variety was good, and there was enough of it. Location of the property was almost central to most of the areas I was interested in which was great. There was a bus stop near the hotel, but metro stop was a bit of a walk. Area seemed very safe, I was even told by locals that it was. I would usually return late at night alone and didn't have any issues.
Metro station was little bit of a walk away, and bus and metro arrival/departure times were a bit of a mess. It just meant a little bit more walking had to be done.

Will definitely come back when we visit Montréal next time!
We really loved our stay there! -Super friendly and helpful staff -Right next to a park, close to many nice little restaurants -Reception generously offered complimentary breakfasts, which were fresh, healthy and tasty 🤤 -Soft classical music when you enter the room and have breakfast -Quiet at night and the bed was comfy -Clean and tidy overall
It could be a tad bit cleaner in the bathroom. And we’d really appreciate it if there are slippers or indoor shoes in the room.

Great stay and unmatched value, thanks!
Great staff gave us help getting parking, location was unmatched next to a large park and steps from Mont Royal Avenue. Room was large and clean and internet worked great. Close to loads of bike shares, very easy.
A few bathroom wall fixtures need to be reattached to the wall, they come out with pressure. Room 10

Loved the staff so much!
The staff were so friendly and helpful. The location is great and ita especially nice to have access to a balcony and a terrasse.
Nothing.

Great location, comfortable room
the park across the street and ample restaurant options near by make this a great spot to spend a few nights
I asked for coffee in my room on my last night - so I could make a cup at 5am for my early airport departure, the young lady a reception told me she would deliver it while I was out for dinner, but she did not.

Can't wait to go back!
It was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located across from a park. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.
The parking was the only downside. I have a big truck and it was very tight.

Comfortable stay in great location.
We liked the hotel and the location. The owner was helpful. Very comfortable bed. Kitchen to make drinks etc a great addition.

Excellent as always!
We have been staying here for many years while visiting family in Montreal. It’s always a pleasure to be back in Montreal as well as the Auberge. The location in the plateau area, the always accommodating staff and the comfortable rooms keep us coming back.
Unfortunately the Auberge does not allow pets so we must make alternate accommodations for him when we visit.

Though the room was very small, the bed was the most comfortable cloud.
