Staying at Hotel Chez Swann was a great experience overall. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained—perfect for a comfortable night's rest. The staff were friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth and stress-free. Breakfast was solid, though not overly varied; still, it provided enough energy to start the day right, especially with the warm coffee and fresh bread. What really stood out was the location—just a 10-minute walk to the Via Rail station, which made travel plans super convenient. Plus, the area is packed with great restaurants, cafes, and shopping spots, so you're never far from something to do or eat. It’s a perfect base for exploring Montreal, and I’d definitely stay here again.
This was my first visit to Montreal, and staying at Hôtel 2170 Lincoln made the experience absolutely unforgettable. The location is perfect—right in the heart of downtown, just a short walk from major attractions and public transit. I booked a two-bedroom suite, and it was spacious, well-designed, and incredibly comfortable. The highlight? The breakfast—fresh, delicious, and varied with both continental and local flavors. Everything felt thoughtfully put together, from the welcoming staff to the modern touches in the room. It’s clear this hotel values guest experience. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal.
The Chateau Versailles exceeded my expectations in every way. The actual hotel looks even more beautiful than the photos—elegant, historic, and impeccably clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay truly comfortable. The only minor note is that there’s a slight sound when walking on the floors, but it's barely noticeable and doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The location is fantastic—just a short metro ride into downtown Montreal. With such charm, comfort, and value, this place feels like a hidden gem. I’d absolutely stay here again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Liv MTL - Soho in Montreal! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The rooftop terrace was a real highlight; spending time up there with a drink in hand, enjoying the city views, made the whole experience even better. It’s such a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring the neighborhood. The only minor issue was that one of the outlets in the bathroom wasn’t working, but it didn’t detract from the overall excellent experience. With its prime location, modern vibe, and welcoming atmosphere, we’d definitely book again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for comfort and convenience in the heart of Montreal.
This place is absolutely fantastic! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the metro and surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and local shops. The apartment itself is stylish, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, offering helpful tips about the neighborhood that made our trip even better. It feels like staying in a friend’s cozy home rather than a rental. With such a great vibe, excellent service, and unbeatable convenience, I’ll definitely be coming back—and might even consider extending my stay next time!
Staying at Hotel & Spa Carré Saint-Louis was a delightful experience from start to finish. This charming boutique hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Montreal, just steps away from public transit and all the city’s highlights. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and wonderfully comfortable—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and helpful recommendations. It’s clear they take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere. We only stayed one night, but it felt like a true retreat. I’d absolutely recommend this gem to anyone visiting Montreal, and I’m already planning my return visit.
The Ambrose House & Cafe was an absolute gem during my stay in Montreal. The café vibe was cozy and inviting, the room was spotless and well-maintained, and the staff went above and beyond when my flight got rescheduled—I was worried about having to change plans, but they kindly extended my check-out date without any hassle. Their flexibility and warm hospitality made a huge difference. Plus, the location is super convenient for getting around town via metro. A fantastic experience from start to finish—highly recommend this hidden gem!
Staying at Royal Victoria College Residence was a surprisingly good experience for the price. Located just two blocks from McGill Metro and bus stops, it's incredibly convenient for getting around Montreal—perfect for students or budget travelers. The room is dorm-style with shared bathrooms, but the affordability makes up for it: we paid only about one-third of what other hotels charge. Our large room had two single beds, two desks, a spacious walk-in closet, and a small fridge—very functional for short stays. The main downside? No air conditioning. During a July heatwave, the first night was unbearable without fans—no units were available initially, and the room felt stuffy and hot. Luckily, we managed to rent two fans (one per person), which made a huge difference when pointed toward our beds. The windows had no screens, but we were lucky—no mosquitoes on the 5th floor. Facing University Street, there was some street noise, but it was manageable, especially with the fans running. The shared bathroom included two showers, one toilet stall, and three sinks with mirrors. There’s also a separate bathroom with a tub (though it looked rarely used), a sink, and another toilet. Despite sharing the area with a few other guests, we never had to wait for showers in the morning or evening. Towels, hand towels, washcloths, and a bar of soap were provided, though there was no daily towel refresh service. Overall, this was a solid stay given the low cost and unbeatable location. If I return, I’d definitely bring my own fans and mentally prepare for no AC—otherwise, it’s a great value option.
The staff at Auberge St. Jacques are genuinely welcoming and go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. What really stands out is how convenient the bus stop is—right outside the door, making it super easy to explore Montreal without needing a car. The hotel’s central location combined with its warm atmosphere makes it a perfect choice for travelers who value both comfort and accessibility. I’d definitely stay here again.
Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Montreal for two nights was an absolute delight. The hotel feels like a living museum—elegant, timeless, and steeped in history. Every staff member went above and beyond with genuine warmth and patience, making me feel truly welcomed. Breakfast at Maison Boulud on the ground floor was a highlight—the garden views were serene, the service impeccable, and the buffet offered a wonderful variety of delicious options. From fresh pastries to gourmet dishes, every bite was satisfying and energizing. It’s rare to find such a refined yet personal experience. This wasn’t just a stay—it was a memorable luxury escape. Highly recommended for anyone seeking elegance and authenticity in Montreal.
Staying at Warwick Le Crystal Montreal was an excellent experience from start to finish. The hotel boasts a sleek, modern design and immaculate cleanliness throughout — every corner feels fresh and well-maintained. I especially loved the spacious bed; it was perfect for a good night’s sleep after a long day exploring downtown Montreal. Located right in the heart of the city, everything is within walking distance — restaurants, shops, and attractions are just steps away. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding a personal touch to the stay. This place truly offers a premium urban retreat without the premium price. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Montreal!
Staying at Vogue Hotel Montreal Downtown, Curio Collection by Hilton was an absolute delight. The lobby is simple but functional—no flashy decorations, just clean and welcoming. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making check-in a breeze. The room itself was spacious, with a wonderfully soft bed and comfortable pillows that made for a restful night's sleep. The bathroom was large and well-designed, featuring a relaxing jetted tub—perfect after a long day of exploring the city. I especially enjoyed soaking in it while taking in the quiet ambiance. Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety of options. Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable: just a short walk to the museum and close to several restaurants and green spaces. I even had a chance to enjoy the nearby park, though a snowstorm kept me from reaching the summit—just a small disappointment. Overall, the comfort, service, and convenience make this a top choice for travelers visiting Montreal. I’d definitely come back.
