Really enjoyed the stay here. Staff was great. Room was nice and clean. Nothing fancy but very welcoming. Like the fact there is a small kitchen with pretty much anything you need. Not to much of a walk to pretty much anything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Locals friendly , easy to walk around and safe

5/5 - Excellent

Can walk everywhere. Must go to the Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal, truly amazing.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

I don’t think Montreal really fits the hype. I wasn’t expecting skyscrapers. The old town wasn’t that big. Go to Europe and see the real thing.

4/5 - Good

ASHISH

From a leisure traveller's point its probably a nice city for one visit if interested in cultural and tourist attractions. Probably a 2-3 times if interested in visiting the theme parks, Gilles circuit or specific adventure activities.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Beautiful city with a distinctive French rhythm. We were here during the recent Canadian general election, and it was easy to see where the locals loyalties lie first.

4/5 - Good

Nice city to just walk around
