Hotel Le Crystal

Slightly overpriced

Le Crystal is a fantastic hotel, they had very friendly employees and everything was very clean. The suite we (my boyfriend and I) stayed in was very nice, but lacked the room that I had imagined. There is a small part of me that regrets "splurging" for our hotel room (it was the deluxe suite), because there lacked the sort of "pzazz" that one would expect. The view was decent, and the Flat screen TV's were nice. The bedroom was crowded, and reminded my of my own tiny room in my apartment. The bathroom was very spacious, and I wish they would have used some of that space for the bed room. (The two were the same size!) I did find myself fascinated with the faucet handles, though that would not entertain you for the whole trip. The pool and the outdoor hot tub were amazing. very romantic, very relaxing. Overall it is a great hotel, but II would not spend the extra money to upgrade to the suite I was in, it was a bit over priced.

great hotel

staff is great. Very beautiful hotel. Rooms are large and comfortable. Location is good.

Outstanding hotel

This hotel is located in a perfect location for all downtown activities, especially if you want to walk or take the metro. Don't miss the 12th floor outdoor jacuzzi, especially after sunset ... a wonderful view of this wonderful city!

Fantastic Bathrooms

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the Espresso machine!! Food was a bit to pricey for us to dine there, but the continental breakfast was lovely. Best part was the 'rainfall shower' and soaking tub. It was quite pricey, but we were there for our 35th anniversary and we usually don't like to stay at places that are not really nice. Too much of our enjoyment is in the room itself. We thought we were getting a balcony, but that ended up not being possible. Not a whole lot of food places REALLY close by. It was COLD and windy while we were there, and we were walking and using the Metro.

Central Location

From the lavender-infused scent wafting through the ventilation system in the lobby to the uber cool rootop jacuzzi to the mod, sleek suites, this hotel is a Montreal show-stopper. The staff were gracious and warm and seemed genuinely enthused to be ambassadors for their city. I didn't have the opportunity to test out the Spa, but it looked lovely and on at least one night was open into the late evening hours. Prices for their massage services were reasonable and what I would expect for a large city. Didn't try any of the hotels restaurants, as I grew fond of a French bakery in the neighborhood. We had one of the Urban suites, allegedly the smallest on the property and yet it was remarkably roomy. Two huge thumbs up for the rain shower, fancy schmancy bath products, and double vanity. The Nespresso maker was a nice touch. I also really liked the modern decor, even though my own personal tastes typically gravitate toward cozy, warm styles. Simply put, the decor is cool. Period. The central location of Hotel Le Crystal makes it easy to jet around town, even though there isn't much directly across the street from the hotel--unless you're catching a hockey game at Bell Centre. The location in Centreville is 1.5 blocks from the main Orange line Metro that you will likely to get around town. It's a little further from the Green Line Peel Metro stop, but still convenient for those who don't have physical limitations that would preclude them from walking a few blocks. The Central Train Station (Gare Central) is about 5 blocks away. The shops of St. Catherine (typical chain stores like H&M, Neon, Roots, etc) and the main nightlife district on Crescent were also within walking distance. A new bus line near the Central Train Station (Gare Central) now services Vieux Montreal (the old town). I think the location is about as perfect as one can get, although when you step out of the hotel, you have to walk at least one block or hail a cab on busy Rene Levesque Blvd in order to

Nice Hotel

I'll start with the negatives. At first glance, I was a little disappointed with the hotel room because I felt the 2 room suite would be a little bit bigger than it was. Since we had teenage children with us, we wanted a little more space. The room also had a heavy cigarette smell from the previous guests, even though we requested non smoking. (However, to be fair, the hotel clerk said the entire hotel is non smoking but that people still smoke.) Continental breakfast was complimentary; so-so food but great coffee! Aside from that, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, the bathroom was wonderful, the shower even better! Had a great sandwich in the little cafe off the lobby. And great location.

Wonderful Hotel

This was a lovely hotel. The room was large and cozy and it had a wonderful sitting area. I loved the expresso machine too. The service was very friendly and professional and we were given some great dinner reccomendations. I would stay here again and would reccomend it to anyone!!

Nice place to stay

The Deluxe suite was very comfortable and I found all of the staff very friendly. The free parking offered by Hotels.com was a great benefit. It is valet parking and very convenient to be able to pull up and give you key to the bellman. I tipped $2 each time I needed the car brought up, so it was still a good deal. The contenential breakfast was so-so, I think you are better off going to Cafe Imagination right next store. My one complaint would be that they closed the pool and spa at 9 pm and it would have been nice to have it open later. Also the deck around the spa was weathered, with no chairs or plants, nothing like the picture. I went in early June, so they may dress it up more for high season. If you make to Montreal don't miss the Botanical Garden!

5 star quality hotel

THE STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND GREETED US DAILY. THE ROOM WAS VERY SPACIOUS AND MODERN. WE LOVED THE UNIQUE COFFEE MAKING MACHINE, FLAT SCREEN TV IN LIVING ROOM AND THE BEDROOM. WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY THERE AGAIN.

Luxury and Access

The Crystal is located less than a block from the Bell center in the heart of the city. The staff is great, the rooms are immaculate and new, the beds are comfortable. My digital TV in the bedroom did not work properly - it was replaced within a half hour.
