7.7/10
A practical budget base with useful inclusions, but some recent concerns deserve checking.
Auberge de la Gare is a simple independent 3-star in Hull, best treated as a practical base for exploring Gatineau and Ottawa by car. We'd consider it for good bang for your buck: continental breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi are included, and Booking.com, Tripadvisor and Expedia guests generally praise cleanliness and helpful staff. Rooms offer fridges and coffee makers; some have jetted tubs. Expect straightforward comfort rather than a destination hotel.
The caveats are worth checking before booking. Parking is limited and awkward to access, while room-condition feedback varies. Two September 2026 Expedia reviews report ants or unexplained insect bites; these are concerning exceptions, not an established widespread pattern. Boulevard Saint-Joseph's phased reconstruction can complicate access, and Expedia lists an administrative fee that needs confirmation. We'd skip it for a polished getaway or sightseeing entirely on foot, and ask about room condition and the full booking terms first.
