Hotel Du Fort

Good, Solid Hotel

Good location- more restaurants and shopping than you could EVER take advantage of. We walked everywhere, but the metro station was not far. Front desk was polite and acomodating, always with a smile. The heater in our room was very noisy, so I ended up just unplugging it, not tomention is was very hot! We kept the windows open all the time (this was mid-October) The neighborhood was ok, although we did get woken up both nights due to sirens and noisy revelers.

excellent

the hotel was exactly as the reviews said.the location was great the staff was friendly. shopping,eating and night life all around. easy access to the freeway. i would def. stay there again. only negitive was the parking $20 a night

Great hotel

It is a great hotel. I always stay here because there is a grocery store right across the street where you can buy beer, water, wine etc. The hotel has a mini refrigerator and microwave. Also, the hotel has a safe, which is very useful feature. The hotel also has Battle Net (internet access hub) right across the street where you can access internet for $3.50/hour. This eliminates the need to carry your laptop for most basic connectivity needs. The only downside is that sometimes I have seen that a few light bulbs in hotel need replacement and occasionally the iron board does not work well.

Little Gem!

If you're looking for dripping luxury, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for convenience, a friendly staff, and great sized rooms for the price you pay, the Hotel du Fort is a wonderful place. I was very satisfied with my stay there.

this hotel really made our trip a pleasure

I booked a room that Hotels.com called a premier suite. It really was a large 2 room suite with a king bed as promised and a kitchenette. Two flat screen tv,s cd player, safe, coutch, comfy furniture,..... this made our first 5 days in Montreal totally pleasant. The location was convieniet to the metro and tons of interesting restaurants just down the street. We walked all over and had a great time. The desk staff was very helpful. We had the kitchen so we did not buy the breakfast buffet. This was the best value on our trip.

"Very friendly staff and excellent location"

Hotel Du Fort is right in the center of downdown Montreal. Anyone who is not familiar with Montreal, the comparison could be merely been staying right on 5th avenue of NYC. Everything is in walking distance, shops, restaurants, and even supermarkets. The hotel staff were very friendly and we did have a small fire within the building on our second night there at 3am. But the fire was quickly resolved within 2 hours and gave us a free breakfast comp. The room itself is extremely close and the cleaning staff are very professional and friendly as well. The walls within each rooms are very solid and thick, we cannot hear the neighbors whatsoever nor the traffic in downtown. We would definitely stay here again if we ever were to visit Montreal again. The only negative part of the hotel is that nothing is free. If you wanted to use WiFi, it's $10/day, if you wanted to park your car in the garage, it's $17/day and no free breakfast neither. overall, I give it a solid A

Great Location

The hotel was centrally located and close to the subway which was great. When we first arrived there was an smell of body order that permeated the lobby, elevator and hallways in the hotel. We attributed it to the very warm and humid day. Once we requested a reservation be made by the front desk. I think they were a little put out by the request. One morning we had breakfast in our room, and put the sign out for service. Our dirty dishes were left in the sink. None of the supplies (except shampoo in a dispenser on the wall, and one additional coffee) were refilled. I think I was most dissapointed by the fact that the first night we sat on the curb from 2am - 5am due to a fire in the building next to us. No one apologized for the inconvenience or even spoke to us about it. I wasn't expecting monetary compensation, but someone acknowledging or discomfort would have been nice.

parking problem

hotel is great. the staff is great. the breakfast is great. the parking is ???? I guess assuming the lot could handle a honda suv with kayaks on it was wrong for me to do. it was a problem to find a place that could accomodate me. Oh well, life is never easy!!!

Excellent value

Good location with clean rooms and a great staff. Certainly worth the money.

Wonderful Hotel

I was very impressed with the hotel staff. Everyone--including the maids etc--were bi-linguial, very friendly, and so willing to be helpful. There were restaurants close by & markets as well. The underground parking at the hotel was well worth every dollar since parking on the street in the city is difficult. I would definitely consider this hotel again.

Outstanding staff

Handy location and super staff, always extending themselves for their guests.

Extremely Helpful Staff

My 14 yr. old daughter & I stayed at Hotel Du Fort for 4 days & 3 nights in the summer of 2009. After extensive research on the internet, this one seemed to have everything I was looking for. The location was about 6 blocks away from Crescent St. were there are lots of places to eat. Also the main shopping street, Ste-Catherine Street, met our hotel street. The rooms were extremely clean as well as the bathroom. We were on the 15th floor and had a fantastic view of the city! They had a summer sale going on, so we got our room at a reduced rate! The beds were comfy and we had a sitting area with a table & 2 chairs. There was also a small kitchenette in a closet with a microwave, sink, small fridge too. There was also a vanity table with a light up mirror! **The only thing I advise is: call the hotel in advance and ask about their wifi policy. We were told that every room is wifi capable, but when we got there we had to pay ten dollars per 24 hrs. of wifi service** That's the only thing that I was not pleased about, because most hotels these days offer Free wifi. But overall, we had a wonderful stay and the front desk staff was very helpful and polite and called me a cab when I was leaving. I would definitely stay there again!

Outstanding Hotel

I would recommend this hotel to everyone! The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The hotel is beautiful with glorious views of the city.
