I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were small but comfortable and elegant, though they were not made up until late afternoon on some days. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to assist with various needs. The location was perfect for exploring Old Montreal, right across from the Basilica of Notre Dame. The dining experience was a bit limited at breakfast, but overall, the hotel offered good value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite small for two people, but they were incredibly quiet, which was a relief to escape from the overly posh atmosphere. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional from the moment we arrived; everyone, from the bellmen to the wait staff, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location was unbeatable in Old Montreal, allowing us to explore the city's treasures with ease. However, there was some confusion about dairy-free breakfast options. The dining experience, although not readily available when we inquired, was nice overall. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, with a standout spa. Overall, a stay with some highs and lows.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were a perfect blend of modern amenities and old-world charm. Plenty of seating options, and being in Tower 1 was a unique experience. The service was exceptional, setting a high standard for hotel services. The location couldn't have been better, steps away from iconic Montreal landmarks. The dining options were good, but I wish there were more breakfast choices. Overall, a fantastic hotel with great value for money.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The room was large and tastefully decorated, but a bit too dark for my liking. However, the overall look was magnificent. The service was top-notch, with the staff being so pleasant, welcoming, and informative. Special thanks to Oliver and Denis at the Concierge for being extremely helpful and knowledgeable with suggestions. The location couldn't have been better, being close to all the old buildings and attractions in Vieux Montreal. The dining experience was a bit of a letdown as the breakfast choices were limited, but the buffet-style at Brasserie 701 had a decent selection. The facilities were well-kept and added to the enjoyable experience.

I landed a fantastic room with a corner view over the park in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral, offering spacious and light-filled quarters to spare. The room was small but beautifully designed, especially the bathroom decor. The hotel provided great service, warm, friendly, and very welcoming. The location was phenomenal, just a stone's throw away from Basilica Church and old Montreal, and a short ride from the airport. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with limited breakfast choices, but the dishes were tasty and plentiful. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
