Hotel de la Montagne

Snippy bellman

Great hotel, terrific staff eventhough we had an awkward experience with one of the older bellmen he was a bit snippy with my wife when there was no reason for it, the desk man smoothed it over very proffesional gentleman, staff of the restaurants are very accomadating

Great place but BUSY

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.

Funky little hotel

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.

Nice Room but Noisy Atmosphere

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.

Great boutique hotel

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.

I've been here many times ...

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

"a little more please

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.

I highly recommend Hotel De La Montagne

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.

Meets/Exceeds expectations.

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.

Wonderful Stay

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.
