Hotel de la Montagne - Montreal

This is a nicely renovated older hotel in the center of Montreal. Very trendy area. The problem some may have is that the pool and bar on the roof, while both pretty, are open tot he public. This meant they were packed with 20-30 year olds every day from 1130 when they open until 1am. This tied up the elevators. You have immediate access from the lobby (youcut into the line as a guest of hotel) but if you need to leave your floor there is often quite a wait for an elevator. Also, not having any ice machine was a problem.

I loved the convenience and the overall experience of the hotel and surrounding area. It was close to many restaurants and attractions. Would recommend 5 Stars***** Rocco

We stayed here with the intention of enjoying downtown Montreal and it fit the bill. We were close to St. Catherine's street and Cresent street - probably two of the most important streets in downtown if you're into nightlife. The roof pool/bar is awesome for happy hour, great people watching. The rooms are neat, quiet and comfortable.

Our room was attractive and well-appointed. Our stay would have been great if the nighttime noise level had been acceptable. We were there on Friday and Saturday evenings. The noise of enthusiastic twenty-somethings going to and from the rooftop lounge was noticeable until about 2 AM. The sound from the hallway and the elevator passed easily through our room's door and was really distracting. The pool/lounge on the top floor is open to the general public except for a few hours in the morning when it's reserved for hotel guests. It's not a quiet spot for a cocktail and an evening swim. A four start rating seems rather generous given that unavoidable distraction.

Location is perfect if you are looking for nightlife (English speaking). Dining is easy with many resturants close by. Close to undergroung city and Metro.

Loved staying here. Well situated with short walks to the Metro, rue Ste. Catherine, and rue Crescent nightspots. Rooms are fresh, stylish, and comforable. Would definitely stay here again.

There is small Bar in the Hotel Lobby. Every night,lots of people having dancing and drinking. Also on the top floor, there is another open bar. Every night there is party for young people. In the night whole hotel look like for party and very noisy. I don't think those people are hotel guests, but from the town. Don't expect any quiet vacation over there.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this classic,a real European style Hotel. The room was huge, the bathrooms gorgeous. Convenient. Service was excellent and very friendly. Bell captain was very efficient. Parking was easy and very affordable. The roof top bar and pool is breath taking.

The best in town

Originally I discovered this hotel retty much by accident. The first time I went to the Montreal Jazz Fest back in 2000, one of my friends booked the rooms for us after he found it doing an internet search. We knew nothing about the hotel or even the city of Montreal for that matter. Turns out that the hotel is located just one short block from the intersection that is the heart of the city's entertainment district along Crescent Street (or Rue de Crescent to the locals ... it's important to remember all signage is in French as required by city ordinance). Along with numerous restaurants, bars, and clubs, Crest is the site of Montreals 'Hard Rock Cafe'. And one half block south is the main commercial thoroughfare Boulevard St. Catherine. There's a popular department store called Ogilvy's located right on the corner. So you can do alot right in walking distance. The rest of downtown is about 1 mile down St Catherine or if you go 2 blocks north Sherbrooke is another main street that is the home of McGill University located at the foot of Mont Royal. Which brings me to another great aspect about the location. "Montagne" is the French word for mountain & you'll see why the hotel is named as such when you look up the street ... you'll be looking right at the side of the mountain ... it's just a wall of green about 1/2 mile or so to the north. But a better view of the mountain is found right at the hotel itself. Take the elevator to the top floor and you'll find one of the best panoramas of downtown Montreal and the surrounding areas. In the evening the sun sets directly behind the mountain. The rooftop club is called Terrasse Magnetique wich has a dining area and bar at the top floor. Walk one flight up to the pool which has a sundeck and a smaller bar with with coktail tables & stools at the bar. It's one of the most popular places in the city in the summer months for Montrealers. When the weather is good the line for the elevators to get to the roof start early

The hotel itself was nice as was the staff, but the beds were very hard, my water was shut off for 4 hours, and the carpet was wet in front of the bathroom.

This hotel was perfectly situated for our visit to downtown Montreal and the Jazz Festival. Easy access to the subway. The room was clean, large and comfortable. For those who want to party, there was lots of nightlife, including a disco off the lobby, but our room on the 8th floor was very quiet.

Our king size bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with a separate shower and bath, big double sink vanity and radiant heater which was so nice to stand under after a shower. The people behind the reception desk were very helpful and all spoke English. We got a great recommendation for restaurant Europea which was a few mins walk from the hotel. It exceeded expectaions. We had the most incredible $56 prix fix menu which I rank as one of my top 5 meals of all time (and I've been to several of the top 10 restaurants in the world). So I highly recommend it. They brought us so many extra tastings between each course that we were thoroughly stuffed by the end. The hotel itself was lovely. Given the price, it definitely met my expectations. It wasn't fancy schmancy or ultra modern. But tasteful and refined and seemed like it was a little worn, but well loved. At the end of the day, it's a place to sleep and relax, and I felt I could do that adequately there. The pool on the rooftop was awesome, although a little smaller than I expected. It's open to guests only until 11:30am, and then open to the public from 11:30am. I was lucky to get the last lounge chair 2 days in a row. The place quickly became packed by lunchtime with young, beautiful locals. Music was pumping over the speakers, there's a bar and restaurant and the view is great. I relaxed by the pool for 6+ hours 2 days in a row (and was 6 mths pregnant). And I loved it. I'd never been to a pool with such a great atmosphere. I would love to have tried the jugs of sangria but stuck to ginger ale instead. Only downside was that the free wireless that you get in the rooms does not get a signal on the roof. It would have been nice to have checked my email on my iPod Touch while lazing by the pool, but then again I probably can't relax if I'm constantly checking email. Overall, I had a great stay. The hotel was perfect for our needs (romantic getaway for a few days) and the location was great. I would

I highly recommend hotel de la montagne for a stay in montreal!The staff is friendly ,courteous, and extremely helpful .I will ALWAYS stay here when I visit montreal.

Comprehensive services: bar, lounge, restaurants, French bistros, etc. Nice, charming and well-adorned lobby area. Not your typical, generic mass-market hotel. Nice, friendly and helpful staff. They are all bi-lingual. Couldn't hurt if you start off with a couple of nice French greeting words, like Bonjour! or Bonsoir! and Merci! Maid/turn-down service was fully satisfactory. I did not use housekeeping or room service at all during my 5-day stay. Gym is not in the hotel, but still convenient, as they have agreement with a nice gym (Nautilus Plus), down the block and around the corner on Rue Ste-Catherine. For small fee, can get a day pass. Need to bring own towel. I did not see or use the rooftop pool because it was closed due to the rainy weather, so I have no opinion about that. Parking is additional fee. Suggest leaving car in garage for duration of stay especially during festival/celebration/holiday times, when downtown will be packed. My balcony view faced the block in back of the hotel, which was Crescent Street. In-room movies were just a bit pricey, I felt.

We were disapointed with the hotel. Although for the price it was good. Although this hotel is in good repair and clean it is quite dated and the appearence over all is dark and dreary. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was great. The room was the color of nicotine (although not a result of smoke) and the furniture was a shade of green (not appealing). The bathroom was great, modern (marble), roomey and appeared new. Lighting was not good for applying makeup. Losts of odds and ends were provided. The bedding was wonderful and the bed quite comfortable. For the price if was good. However, I'd expected something bright and contempory.

Just was happy that it's close to everything, like the Metro system to the museams, parks, shops, etc... Safe neighborhood. If you want some clubs/lounge places to go, it's just a block away... Really enjoyed the stay.

Location is excellent. Room was recently upgraded. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was extremely courteous.

This hotel is very central and well located. The outside architecture is horrid but the inside is pleasant enough. The dry cleaner removed all button from my mac and replaced them incorrectly the hotel still tried to charge for this. The roof top swimming pool i was looking forward to, is public to all. This was packed with tattoo wearing people and drunk teenagers. This also meant the lift was always packed and we had to wait ten minutes each time to reach our room. staff tells me someone once threw a chair off the roof (20th floor)...the food on the roof top is not very fresh but the cocktails were nice. the room was very lovely and clean and spacious. the air conditioning was very loud. like a helicopter really. If you are not very fussy this place is quite nice!

Although we were pleased with hotel overall the maid service was always very late in the day in showing up.

This hotel is situated in a nice central location near the main shopping area of Montreal. It has all the local amenities you need very close by. Very close to the central train station and loads of places to eat. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms are keep very clean. The rooms has great shower rooms and if you get a balcony room the views are great. The only bit I did not like was that the swimming pool is open to everyone, not just hotel guests, so when I went up there, there was no room.

We stayed here for 3 nights in June, and had the most amazing trip! The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious, elegant and well maintained (the bathroom was marble and enormous, and all rooms come with a private balcony). We were originally only checked in for 2 nights, and ended up extending our stay for another night because we were so impressed. The location is right downtown, one block from Saint Catherine Street, with easy access to shopping, restaurants and the metro. I would highly reccommend this hotel to anyone!

Great hotel and location. The room was big with a nice big bathroom which had two sinks with shower and tub. Big thick oversized towels and bath robes. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Nice, affordable bars with a great staff. The food was good and reasonable. Hotel staff was very nice, courteous and helped us with local information. Our fear was the language since we do not speak French. Was never a problem and no one was offended that we didn't speak French. This was our first time to Montreal and when we go back we will go back to Hotel de la Montagne.

This hotel has a great location and is well maintained, but most of all, every staff member is very friendly and helpful. Here you feel very much at home and comfortable. It would be hard to stay elsewhere at a similar price. The quality of food in the restaurants was excellent as were the bars and entertainment. The room was located on a higher floor and it was very quiet, even on the weekend. You do not have to go far from this location for many types of dining, entertainment, museums or bar/club hopping. The hotel is highly recommended.

I would highly recommend this hotel. It is conveniently located right in downtown Montreal, with fabulous resturants and nightlife literally a block away. It is within walking distance to Mont Royale and also to old Montreal. The view is wonderful from the rooms, and the hotel staff is extremely accomodating. There is even a good happy hour atmosphere right in the hotels bar Thursdays. The only negative I could think of, was that turn down service missed our room two of the three nights we stayed. Overall I would definately stay here again and recommend it to others.

This hotel was okay. The staff was friendly. We stayed for 4 nights. The room felt stuffy, bad air quality.. The carpet was filthy. we parked our car downstairs and was charged $32.50/day for a SUV plus tax. We were charged for local calls. I wished we were notified of the costs beforehand. The bar, Cabarette was not too impressive, neither was Lutetia. The pool and terrace restaurant were closed. I would rate this hotel a 3, not 4. I probably won't stay here again.

Solid four star rating. Very pleased with the service. Front desk and concierge were very helpful during our stay.

I booked this hotel for 4 nights. I read reviews and chose it based on recommendations. The hotel was not as nice, the air quality was dirty... The staff was very nice. Parking was expensive, we drove a truck and parking was $32 + tax. They charged for local calls, too. I wished they had been more upfront about it. I would rate this hotel as 3 stars, instead of 4.

This hotel is one of a kind. Great location. Really liked having the balcony.

Perfectly placed hotel if you're there for the nightlife (Crescent) or shopping (Rue St. Catherine). Couldn't be better. If you're there to spend all your time at the historic stuff near the riverfront, it's a hike or a cab or Metro ride. Hotel is nice overall; our room showed a bit of age (cooling unit wasn't impressive), but certainly are clean and comfortable. The view is nothing to write home about, at least from the lower floors, but we weren't there to sit on the balcony. Service was very good, people were friendly, overall it was a great experience and if I'm back in Montreal, I'll likely stay there again.

Everyone was very friendly and helpfull.

We were put in a smoking room, the bell man went as far as to pretend to call downstairs and get put on hold for 5 minutes to encourage us to except the room on the 19th floor. Be sure to call ahead or get it strait at the desk if non ashtray room is important to you.

Upgraded rooms are great and smoking rooms are available.

This was a great place to stay. It is a good hotel for people of all ages and both singles and couples. There is a back entrance to the hotel that takes you directly to all of the nightlife. The hotel staff were great.

you can only get ice through room service. We had brought a bottle of champagne to celebrate my birthday, and it was nearly impossible to get ice to chill the bottle from room service. They kept forgetting our request, and we literally had to make 4 calls and speak in person at the front desk to get ice, and then they only brought a small amount--not enough to chill the bottle. Other than that frustration, this is a beautiful hotel with exquisite rooms and an excellent location. Everything else is first rate, but that ice irritation detracted from our overall experience. Why they don't have ice machines on the floors is beyond me, but of course this allows them to get those extra tips. Too bad.

Everytime we are in Montreal we stay here. It is always a great time!!

We visited Montreal for the first time and stayed 4 nights. The room was completely comfortable and the balcony was a huge plus. Additionally, the staff was so friendly and hospitable, they were willing to answer any questions we had. The location was fantastic...right up the block from St. Catherine's as well as walking distance from the Bell Centre. The entertainment and dining within the hotel were excellent too. We will definitely be staying here again soon!

In the last 27 years this has been our 4th stay at Hotel de la Montagne. The location is great, the king rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are huge and you get more service in this hotel than in lots of 5 star hotels like bathrobes, slippers, shoe shine machine, pant press, etc... Full service without the full service price.
