Gîte de La Montagne

We stayed in room one from May 24 –27 and we are looking forward to going back. The location is perfect, behind and below the Château and right next to Petit Champlain. The bed was tres confortable and the bathroom was very nicely appointed. I loved having access to a full kitchen right down the hall. I almost don’t want to give it such good reviews or even tell anyone about it for fear it will be totally booked and outrageously priced the next time we want to go. Seriously, a charming, comfortable place with great amenities. One thing to be aware of, you have to check in at a different hotel to get keys, etc. If I hadn’t seen that online and got there after trying to find it for 90 minutes, I would have gone ballistic.

The location of Gîte de la Montagne can’t be beat, and the price is quite reasonable for what you get. You easily can walk up Côte de la Montagne (the street) to the upper old city, or down it or the Escalier Casse-​Cou (the stairs right next to the gîte) to the lower old city.
When we stayed here in 2004 (it was memorable), we had some plumbing issues that weren’t handled as effectively as they might have been (my wife would rate it lower, but this isn’t her review), but the breakfasts and the rooms otherwise were fabulous. The breakfast was prepared for us individually in the kitchen of our ‘room’.
The check-​in is at the Hôtel St. Paul, 229 rue Saint Paul, which is also where the staff is based, since there’s no room for them here, just three floors with the three rooms. That situation has both pluses and minuses. On the whole, however, the staff was very helpful and friendly.
The website says the the gîte has been renovated «this year», so see there for interior views.
