THE LITTLE PRINCE ROOMS-OLD MONTREAL, Montreal

The property is situated in the Old Montreal business district, which is quieter in the evenings. The Old Port, Notre Dame Basilica, and the downtown area are all within a 15- to 25-minute walk. Public transport is convenient: the metro is a short walk away, and a bus route runs directly into the city centre. Two grocery stores are around the corner, and several restaurants (including Le Serpent and Gibbys) are within a 5-minute walk. The nearest airport is Montréal/Saint-Hubert, 13 km away. This location is ideal for walkers and those wanting easy access to major landmarks without being in the busiest tourist areas.

The hostel offers private double rooms (1 bed) and quadruple rooms (2 beds, also with a sofa in some). All rooms feature a private entrance, a seating area, a work desk, a wardrobe, parquet floors, and a quiet street view. An in-room refrigerator is provided, and some rooms have a dining area and outdoor dining space. Shared bathrooms are on each floor with walk-in showers and hairdryers. Rooms are designed in a modern, loft-like style, but wall soundproofing is minimal - noise from adjacent rooms and upper floors is common. The lack of air conditioning and sealed windows (on many rooms) can make summer nights uncomfortable. Rooms are clean and comfortable for the price point, with comfortable beds and high ceilings. Travelers with mobility concerns should note no elevator is available, and stairs can be steep. Top-floor rooms are generally the quietest. The building has a shared lounge with a microwave and kettle, though kitchen equipment is limited.

There is no breakfast service or restaurant at the hostel. The shared lounge has a microwave and kettle, allowing guests to heat up their own food. An in-room refrigerator is available for storing groceries. Two grocery stores are within a minute's walk, and plenty of restaurants, including Le Serpent (0.5 km) and several others within 0.5 km, offer diverse dining options for lunch and dinner.

No pool, spa, or gym is available. For leisure, the hostel is located close to the Old Port, which offers outdoor activities such as ice-skating in winter and boating in summer. The property can also arrange bike rentals and walking tours for an additional charge, which is a practical way to explore the city.

The property provides free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. Shared bathrooms are cleaned daily and considered spacious, but can sometimes have wet floors and wait times during peak hours. Luggage storage might be available after check-out for a fee. Bicycle rental and walking tours are available for an additional charge. No parking is available on site; public parking is at Cité Multimédia (3-minute walk, approximately $20-$25 for 24 hours). The building uses pin-code entry for rooms and the main door, enhancing security. There is no elevator, so the stairs are the only access to upper floors.
