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. The location is unbeatable, right between Old and New Montreal, with easy access to public transit and major attractions. One small suggestion: the glass-walled bathroom can feel a bit awkward when traveling with family. A frosted or semi-opaque design would help maintain privacy. Overall, this hotel offers incredible value, comfort, and convenience—highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or families looking for a modern, hassle-free stay.
