Le Gîte du Parc La Fontaine

Montréal


This great summertime option in a converted Victorian house feels more like a guesthouse than a hostel. The rooms are clean, if simply furnished (wood floors and painted wrought-iron beds), and guests can make themselves at home using the kitchen, lounge and laundry. The top-floor terrace, with views over the rooftops, is the best feature.
