Boxotel Montreal

Staying at Boxotel Montreal was an absolute delight! The room’s smart automation made everything so convenient—lighting, temperature, and even the window shades were easy to control. The toiletries were all in a luxurious essential oil line, which added a nice touch of elegance and freshness. Kitchen essentials were fully stocked, making it super easy to prepare meals on-site, perfect for longer stays or saving money on dining out. Having both a washer and dryer in the room was a game-changer for my trip—no need to worry about laundry delays. On the ground floor, there's free coffee, tea, snacks, fresh fruit, and yogurt available throughout the day, plus a simple breakfast served until 11 AM—great for a quick start to the day.

Pied-A-Terre Mont-Royal - Hostel

The check-in process was extremely frustrating, and I'd strongly advise taking the negative reviews seriously before booking. We paid a $500 security deposit upon arrival, which has not been refunded after two months of follow-up emails. Our first response acknowledged it as an oversight, but since then, all further messages have gone unanswered. The lack of communication and accountability is unacceptable—especially for such a significant amount. This experience has left us deeply disappointed, and we can't recommend staying here if you value transparency and customer service.
