Would Not Return Money When Grandfather Was Sick

During my trip to Montreal, my grandfather became very ill, and I had to return home very quickly. I had to cancel the last two days of my stay, and was hoping that the Opus Hotel would return the cost of the two nights that I was unable to use. Unfortunately, they did not.

Opus Hotel Montreal

Modern, sleek style throughout. Good service, excellent location. Rooms are too dim with inadquate lighting.

Loud party hotel

Don't stay here unless you're happy with a hotel determining when you can and can't go to sleep. Half the hotel's rooms are located above a courtyard housing a hotel club/bar which, at some point, had at least 400 guests partying hard, a DJ, and speakers pumping out teeth-shattering bass directly at us until 3:30 am. Called downstairs, asked why it was still going on so late (bars close at 3:00 am in Montreal), the guy goes, "Huh, that's weird" and hangs up. I'm not kidding. And by the way, I'm originally from Montreal; my first language is French, so it wasn't some miscommunication. The noise actually stopped at 5:00 am, after all, it takes time to clear out 400 people, and then it takes a very loud and talkative cleaning crew to pick up after them while dragging tables and chairs around. All very clearly audible, with windows closed and earplugs. Ah... the Opus earplugs. The hotel provides cute little "cubes" on bedside tables containing ear plugs, with packaging that reads something like "The Opus is located in a vibrant and lively neighborhood. Should outside activities disturb the peaceful environment of your room, use these earplugs". I had to laugh. No earplugs could block that level of noise out. The problem isn't the neighborhood; the problem is designing a hotel around a nightclub, and not doing anything to block the noise out. Had the Opus Montreal website clearly stated that half the rooms would be overlooking one of the city's most popular party location, I never, ever would have booked this hotel. There are too many good hotels in Montreal to go through this. This hotel is obviously more interested in alcohol revenues than in the peace and comfort of their guests. Overall, staff was rude, inconsiderate, and simply didn't care that it was absolutely impossible to sleep until 5:00 am. And, oh, yeah. I'm still paying for the room, right? No apologies, no comps, and it took a lot of work to get moved to a new room on the non-party side of the hotel

Very nice...especially for those with overflowing wallets.

My wife and I shared a very enjoyable pair of evenings in the Opus and have only a few pieces of advice. 1) Trust the advice of the other reviews on this site and demand a room on the opposite side of the hotel from the nightclub. I have no idea how anyone could sleep through that noise sleeping above it. 2) Don't touch anything in the fridge. A mini-bar was available in our room with some extremely high priced items. Wow. Just Wow. 3) We felt a little under-dressed the whole time we were there. Bring your most posh attire...and your Ferarri. 4) Only valet parking is available. We saved some money by parking on the street. Those things said, we had a lovely room, a wonderful time, and a great location in the city and plan on reccomending the hotel to our friends.

Beware if You Plan on Sleeping

While the Opus is aesthetically pleasing, with a great location--particularly in relation to the Jazz Festival, I could have slept better on the street with a blanket. There's a club in the hotel that plays earth shaking music until 3AM. Calls to move to a different room feel on deaf ears (they've been working there too long and can no longer hear anymore) and were completely unapologetic. The ear plugs that come with the room were not near enough to drown out the sound. If however, you like partying until 3AM (and I mean this with all sincerity), Opus is the perfect hotel. It's beautiful, comfortable beds and great restaurant and bar.

Le Opus

awesome

Great Hotel Restaurant

The Koko restaurant in the hotel was exceptional!! The food was a Pan-Asian influence and was remarkable. Be prepared to spent a pretty penny, but it is all worth it.
