Family vacation

We stayed for 2 nights. Overall the experience was good. The service was good and they accommodated us when we needed to change rooms. The beds were comfortable and we especially loved that there was no carpets, it was hardwood floors.

Bonjour Montréal.

Staff was kind and respectful. We enjoyed a quiet stay. The reataurant next to the hotel had a very good breakfast combo that we enjoyed during our stay.
Kiki Fortunat, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great. Even the place is older they look after it. Would definitely stay again. Also very close to the Montreal garden. The garden is definitely worth the visit. Give yourself some time there. See my photos for the garden
Jennifer, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great. Spacious clean king room, renovated washroom, nice indoor pool. Outdoor pool deck needs some repair.
Manuel, 2-night trip

The doors are so think they might as well not exist.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place, convenient if your business is east of downtown. Nice staff, good restaurant in-house (Le toit rouge), excellent breakfast and dinner.
Norbert, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great stay. Loved the location and the condition of the room (we’ve got a renovated one). However, the lobby would need a facelift. I would also recommend a better quality for the pillows provided to customers.
Felicia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great for a Family Stay

Place was nice and clean including rooms and public washrooms. Indoor/outdoor pool and weight room were also well maintained. The location was excellent for those planning to visit the biodome and local museums within walking distance. The reception desk were courteous, very informative and helpful being fully bilingual. Shoutout to Ismail, William and lovely lady at the desk who went out of their way to give us a positive experience. Will be planning to come back as the pricing was very reasonable and we were able to park our car for the day while walking to those museums!
Daniel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It is a nice place close to everything but very old, we stayed over there more than 17 years ago and nothing has changed.
Dany, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Too far from action

Hotel was VERY busy with a soccer tournament or baseball, sonthere were a lot of kids. Too many to even use the pool. Walkable distance to the Biodome so that is good.
Linda J, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice Room with a Green View

My room on the 7th floor was clean, comfortable and lovely. We were disappointed the bar was closed our entire stay. Also, we found the restaurant hours were limited. Many hotels have coffee/tea/water in the lobby for patrons. This one only had water. Overall, a positive experience!
Josephine, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice location for a 4-day getaway. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Hotel restaurant was good and very reasonably priced for breakfast and dinner. Superior hotel rooms are much smaller than shown on their website - you get carpeting and a higher floor. Hotel is quiet and away from the busy, noisy downtown Montreal area and 8 minute walk from the Viau Metro. Left our vehicle at the hotel parking lot and got a 3-day metro pass $21.25 for unlimited travel on the fantastics Montreal Metro.
Eileen, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Front desk staff are very helpful. Place isn’t that clean and the furniture is a bit old.
alireza, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is our go to hotel in Mtl. IMO, not high end, but great value for $, typically a reasonable rate. Incredibly convenient for our visits to the Biodome and Olympic Village. The pool is great for our family.
Alex, 2-night trip

Close to Biodome, Planetarium, Insectarium attractions. Loved the indoor heated pool!!

Caroline, 1-night trip

Not the best TV

The hotel was in a good location, 20 mins away from almost everything in Montreal. The room was nice but they really did not have proper TV to use. Was not smart and could not connect to need streaming platforms
Savithra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really enjoyed our stay over the Easter weekend. We were here for a sports competition, and ended up buying tickets to see CF Montreal that evening. The subway is super close so we took that to get around.
Jason, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good value for the money

Very friendly front desk. We stayed in a renovated room with comfy beds. Common areas have a distinctly 70s vibe. Kind of cool in its own way. Free parking is a definite plus.
