Enjoyed our stay!
Very large rooms and helpful staff, valet parking and well located.
Music in lobby too loud.

Loved the imagination of all the art in the hotel..a lovely feature. The rooms are beautiful.
my room was large, wonderful, clean, with lovely windows,high ceilings beautiful draperies, and nice furnishings.
The "breakfast" is insufficient and lacks imagination. Provide some fruit and yogurt or something more than croissants. No lids for the paper cups I took to our room? Come on!! The lobby is open and not nicely set up...looks like a room for a convention instead of a cosy private area Create a nice bar..put up a wall or something to separate it from the rest of the front area.

Love this place. Despite change in breakfast, would return.
Atmosphere, location, friendly staff, art work, small size
They changed breakfast. Last year included boiled egg and yoghurt. This year weak coffee and pastries

Pleasant
Bed was comfortable. Slept generally well. Location is great
The hotel is showing its age. Bathroom fixtures were loose. Some of the furniture was clearly old. Room had a fridge in it, but we disconnected it because it's compressor was loud

Fab location, friendly staff and quirky concept
Great room. Fantastic housekeeping. Bar and gym could do with an upgrade.

Great location, classic Old Montreal Hotel
Great location, large rooms, clean facility. Eclectic collection of art. Classic old Montreal Hotel in grand style.

Perfect place to stay in old Montreal
The location, staff and personality of the hotel were amaizing. Would definitely stay there again no doubt.
The parking option is to pay valet parking for the day, is not a bad option but it should be specified on the reservation information.

Amazing
Comfortable room, excellent shower, quiet room, amazing decoration and a very good location
breakfast with barely any options and nothing for people with accomodations such as dairy free.

If all the reception people have smile on their faces and more polite it would be ideal, a few not.
Breakfast was great despite being almost simple. The fresh buns, coffees, hot chocolate and the great service and its beautiful place made it fantastic. The hotel location was not important so much for me. I wish I could spend the whole stay in hotel :) The room was clean, well designed and had all features I did need to use. The only disadvantage was the TV. I couldn't find out how to reach to public TV channels.
The TV that had not guide or instructions how to use it. Old people like me would like to watch very specific shows and news, and I never found out how to do that :(

Very good
Room was big and clean, not fancy but that was fine. I felt we got a better place than I expected for the price. Breakfast is a Croisant and coffee. and it was very good. Great location

Good stay for a short visit. Would recommend!
A funky little hotel, with a 60’s art deco vibe. Clean, pleasant staff; perfectly located in Old Montreal.
9 February 2025
Thé staff are super friendly and we got surprised by a small free breakfast. The location is prime that’s the best about
Very well situated. Close to every thing. Right in the middle of the old town. A deux pas à l’église de notre dame. L’architecture extérieure de l’hôtel au top aussi.
The facilities are a bit old but maybe that’s the general vibe. When we first checked in there was a long hair in the bathtub.

Very good
We stayed here a dozen years ago. Didn't seem like much had been updated. Lovely but a little tired?
29 January 2025
Very good
We didn't have control over the temperature in the room, and it was a cold day, around -20 outside. We spoke with the receptionist,but we didn't hear back from her.

A gorgeous unique hotel in the heart of Old Montreal
the location was spot on for a quick visit of the old part of Montreal, with only a couple of hours, we were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Room was huge and so comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly.
Breakfast was a bit sparse, just juice, coffee and a croissant, could have been more there really, some fruit, toast, or being able to take more than one pastry. Left hungry!

Five stars for our bedroom and sitting room, three stars for the bathroom.
The bedroom and sitting room in our king suite were gorgeous, huge, clean, quiet, and comfortable. The lobby had a lot of fun art. The location was ideal: near Notre Dame and several restaurants, pubs, and shops. Water pressure in the shower was great. Though some of the staff seemed a bit inexperienced, they were friendly and helpful.
The bathroom needs a lot of attention. The lighting was far too dim; the shower drain is not in the lowest place, so water pools, cools, and stays on the shower floor till the next time its used; there were small drops of what looked like blood on the wall under the sink; there were only two towels and washcloths for a three night stay; the cord on the hairdryer is not long enough for it to be used easily; no vent, so the walls "bled" moisture after the shower was used; and the shower water was either very hot or very cold...difficult to find "just right." The lighting in the entire suite needs to have brighter options.

Fabulous
3 min walk from metro. Lot's of shopping and restaurants. Nice hotel that is quiet and unassuming, but comfortable and a little posh.
That wi-fi should get 2 minutes for delay of game, plus 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. Shameful. Absolute 90's quality right here in the year 2025.
2 January 2025
Such a beautiful place to stay. Highly recommend.
Our room was so so beautiful. Amazing location and the staff are so kind.
Some drainage issues in the shower and the windows let in siron noises.

A very comfortable hotel in a beautiful old building in a great location
Great location, great art and friendly staff
25 December 2024
Nice place to stay.
Spacious room, art environment.
The AC was very loud and was not working well in our room. I don’t know it was only our room’s condition or in every room was the same problem. The male front desks seemed a lot of more friendly than the female front desks( including in the cafe)
23 December 2024
Expected to be better
Excellent location, public garage nearby. Small breakfast included (croissant et cafe).
There was dust in rooms and a frame in 2 of the rooms on the floor waiting to be placed on the wall. Lighting in the rooms was not optimal.

Pleasant
Discretion
No microwave in room. No protein for breakfast. Parking not included in price.

Lovely stay. Beautiful room. Hotel staff very attentive.
Location and decorations inside
I left a iPhone charger in the room and the staff claimed they did not find it. Disappointing.
4 December 2024
Beautiful quirky place in a perfect location
Comfortable bed and huge rooms. Great vibe to the whole place. Lovely staff. Location is incredible to Old Montreal and to the downtown area.
Continental breakfast is up to two croissants, a hot drink, and an orange juice. That's probably stretching the term a little bit, but it was an appreciated morning snack. Most of the TV channels didn't work. Rooms had poor lighting, with very little natural light due to the small windows. Would expect more attention to the internal lighting because of this.

Lovely hotel, great location!
Great location
It does not have a bartender. The bartender at their bar was also someone who helped with luggage. The bar and lobby is so inviting too. Except while seated you look into the gift shop and the employee couldn’t change the channel from news . Also, the front clerk was not welcoming.

Nice boutique hotel perfect location for what we needed
Location, clean, nice atmosphere
Heating didn’t seem to work in the bedroom/living room area, but bathroom heating was good. Room 212. Only stayed 1 night so wasn’t a big deal

Fabulous
Great location to Old Montreal and access to the Metro was just a couple of blocks away.
No restaurant on site and breakfast was coffee and croissant only. Would have been better to have more choice like fruit and cereals
5 November 2024
Very good
breakfast was very pleasant
the bar was pathetic , no staffing for it, and when someone did show they had no idea what to do and then the pour was pathetically small and the price outrageous. i would never ever visit the bar again ! all we wanted was one simple drink before going out to dinner. how hard can it be ?

Great location and friendly staff

the breakfast was basic and the same each day and served in paper cups and plates.
23 October 2024
Lovely staff and location but rooms certainly lacking
The staff were brilliant and the location fantastic
The WIFI was hopeless. The shower over the bath did not have a hand rail or non slip mat. The door security chai was missing a chain. One side of the bed did not have a table or a light.

More like a bed and breakfast
Very basic
Same option every day, paper cups and plates!
16 October 2024
Great experience.
Location in Old Montreal was excellent - close to everything . Fantastically quirky decor - just fabulous.
Very sparse breakfast - we felt that our very high room charge should include a much better quality breakfast. Just one glass of orange juice, one cup of coffee, one croissant and one pastry.
16 October 2024
Funky, but with standard, comfortable rooms.
Nice, centrally-located hotel with a lot of art! Very friendly and helpful staff.
14 October 2024
An interesting overnight stop.
Loved the artwork throughout the hotel most being very modern and contrasting with the age of the building.
Breakfast consisted of coffee in a paper cup and two small pastries. No gluten free options.

Enjoyed the visit to Montreal.
Location in close proximity to Old Montreal gives great access for those visiting Montreal, for example, Notre Dame Cathedral. Hotel has a funky vibe which we enjoyed, lots of artwork throughout.
Staff is OK. Skip breakfast, it was the same all 3 days of our stay. It consisted of croissants or croissants.
7 October 2024
Lovely, art packed place with good funky music
The art work, the staff, the room size
No wine in a cool bar
5 October 2024
One less star because of carpet in room, otherwise a great stay.
Staff very helpful and responsive. Location was great and many things like restaurants and historic attractions were close by. The room on the first floor was quiet and well appointed. Cozy beds.
Booked two rooms, 107, 108 for three days. They were well appointed EXCEPT the CARPET in both rooms was so stained and dirty, that they should be replaced. It rather ruined the total ambience of our stay. Otherwise, lovely.
5 October 2024
Fantastic room, exceeded my expectations.
Lovely pastries. Would have loved better coffee options. Only tea available was green. Not my favorite. A protein option (cheese or egg) would have thrilled me.
Had to lift my heavy suitcase, myself, up a dozen stairs (I’m pushing 70). Help with or even a ramp would be a great addition to your hotel.
3 October 2024
Living on past glory.
Chic styling and lots of art prints. Friendly staff.
Bedroom carpet could do with a clean. Limited pain au chocolat/croissant 'breakfast' on a flimsy paper plate is just cheap. Hotel bar shuts early and night porter refused to serve. Why no restaurant?
2 October 2024
Wish I could have stayed longer
Very appealing to artists (I am one). The bohemian ambiance fit me perfectly. Loved the look. My room was larger than several apartments I had in younger days with soaring 14-15 ft ceilings. Floor to ceiling windows on two sides. I arrived hours after planned due to a travel glitch. Wish I'd had more time to enjoy it.
Carpet seemed like it needed a good clean. Otherwise no complaints.
1 October 2024
L’Hotel was a comfy springboard for experiencing Montreal’s charm.
Great location, with a really diverse display of art on the walls, and comfortable rooms with attentive daily room service.
Our room had a strange smell like a mildew of some sort.

Would recommend to others and we would stay again
Location was great, loved the decor
Room wasn’t cleaned the first day, we didn’t know we had to put a sign out for that. Instructions werent clear
