Le Petit Hotel Notre Dame

性價比高到令人驚訝!位置好得不得了,就在聖母院教堂旁邊,去舊港步行大概10分鐘,完全不用擔心交通問題。我一個人出行,訂的細小房間其實空間夠用,住兩個人也沒問題。凌晨一點抵達,前台那位帥哥反應超快,辦理入住又順又暖,還送上馬卡龍當小禮物,真心貼心。房間是全新裝修過,乾淨整潔,感覺每樣都新鮮亮麗,連衛生間都一塵不染。早餐雖然沒吃,但有人會主動來問是否需要,服務很貼心。在蒙特利爾找到這樣一家隱藏版好酒店,真的太幸運了!下次來蒙特利爾,我一定再選這裡,絕對會推薦朋友!」},{

Hotel le St-James Montréal

This wonderful hotel, a place I've cherished for years, has unfortunately closed due to the lasting impact of the pandemic. The management shared that they couldn't sustain operations any longer, though they mentioned a possible future reopening in a new format—perhaps partially residential—but no definite plans are confirmed yet. Over the years, it welcomed countless high-profile guests and was always my go-to spot for impressing visitors with its elegant charm and exceptional dining experience. It’s truly a loss for Montreal’s hospitality scene.
