Herve-Desjardins Park Tours and Activities

Excellent location near Berri-UQAM station to get around town, and comfortable rooms and beds (we were in room 304). Exceptional staff and the cafe on the main floor makes fantastic London Fogs. Expect stairs, but you likely already know that. Really convenient to the gay bars and fairly convenient to the Latin Quarter. The punk bar across the road has rather loud visitors up to 2 or 3 am and the ambulances add to the road noise if you like to have a window open. Bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise. Or go join the crowd and have one of their excellent ciders -- it's a cash only bar. Due to construction in the area, if you want to go to the Latin Quarter at night, I would recommend either cutting through the Metro or going north through the quiet neighbourhood versus the shorter route to the south. Otherwise, the area felt generally safe to us as long as you're paying attention.
