    Nice big room and high ceilings, easy self check in, but minimal sound insulation

    We did find a moth on the curtains and the wall behind the bed was sealed up french doors with plaster board, but no sound insulation. I literally heard both sides of an entire telephone conversation because they put chairs right by the French doors. Fortunately late at night no one was around there so I slept well.

    Great location a short walk from the train station and metro. The room was very nice and big and had a fridge, microwave and tv. I had to work while I was there and the wifi was excellent.

    Location was great. Fairly comfortable. Nice to be able to get coffee and tea in the morning at the cafe for a discount. Price was good.

    There was no hair dryer in the bathroom.

    The location is excellent just minutes away from the Museum of Fine Arts, and many other attractions. The room was spacy and the bed comfortable. The coffee (cappuccino) and tea in the little café downstairs is excellent, and the croissants and scones were delicious.

    The room wasn't clean. I moved the couch and strange rocky debris was underneath. The floor was dusty, along with the window panes. I wish there is a fridge in the room instead of the TV, because it would be more useful. Especially that there was only small bottle of water at the reception desk (it was bigger years ago)

    I have been here before and I liked the experience and the place. Now that I drove to Montreal, the parking in that area is a plus. The staff are prompt and accommodating.

    I would say the only thing I didn't like was my shower/tub in my room - sometimes it took the water a minute to go down after showering. I would rinse and wipe it out a couple times after using. Besides that, the other facilities worked great and the bed was so comfortable!

    I really like the size of my room, I had so much space. The block that the hotel is located on is super quiet as well, which I appreciated. I also appreciated how close the hotel is to the center of the shopping area/tourist attractions. Also, I liked the fact that the hotel is not that far from the airport (about a 30-40 min bus ride depending on traffic and the weather).

    Nothing really, I would have to nitpick to come up with something.

    The room was spacious, bed was very comfortable, large windows to let the light in. Great location for reaching Mount Royal and the city center just by walking (otherwise Peel metro station close by). Self check-in/check-out were fast and convenient. Cafe downstairs was great for something sweet or a warm drink to go.

    I thought the self checkin process was easy. I had arrived before the cafe closed at 7PM so there was staff there to greet me. It was going to snow that night so even though there is free parking on the street I reserved one of the two covered spots behind the building. When I checked out staff came out to shovel and cleared the way for me but I would bring a small shovel like I did to assist.

    N/A

    The location was great. Although it is walking distance from McGill and Concordia as well as museums, restaurants, shops, the hotel is on a quiet residential street. Staff were very friendly, and they accommodated me to check in early. This is a no-frills hotel, so the room didn't have any amenities (such as a coffee machine, fridge, etc.) but my room was spacious, clean, and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was renovated and modern, the bed was very comfortable, and despite the cold weather the room was well-heated. Overall, I would highly recommend this place.

    The room was neat and clean, and properly supplied with all the basics and toiletries. But just so you know, it's not grand and luxurious. It is small and basic - in case that bothers you.

    A charming little place, it's a quaint Victorian era building. Simple and basic, but neat and clean. I was quite satisfied with my stay.

    Our room didn’t have a window, so I’d suggest to choose an option a bit more expensive, so you can have a nice view as well

    Location is good, the style is very nice, you stay like in palace. At the cafe downstairs you can enjoy homemade sweets and also sandwiches

    The room was pretty dated. Clean but dated, with the walls in need of a bit of work. Also parking a bit expensive at $30/day in an open garage near the trash cans. Felt a bit unsafe, but ended up fine.

    The location is great, walking distance to restaurants, attractions, landmarks and the old port. The price was really good compared to the other options in the same area. The Cafe at the mezzanine is a cute spot to have a coffee and a muffin. Also great communication and support from the owners/management. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of accommodations while exploring the city.

    LOL, room was on the 3rd floor, and the stairway was tough to climb each time, especially with bags. Seriously, the only drawback - other than dreading the stairs, the room was perfect.

    For the price, the room was awesome - comfortable, clean, all the needed amenities. I really enjoyed staying there, and the location was right where I'd want to be.

    Nothing.

    The location was great, central downtown. The self check-in was practical. Room on the third floor was small but clean and the bed was super comfortable. I stayed at the Delta, Sheraton and Reine Élizabeth before but this bed was by far the best. I won’t hesitate to book again.
