What guests liked
The restaurant attached to the hotel, Grinders, served extremely good quality food. (7 reviews)
Breakfast was a nice added treat, served in the room or at a time that suits guests, with options including fresh fruit, yogurt, and freshly baked banana bread. (10 reviews)
We loved our stay and would definitely come again! Staff were great, the breakfast was a nice added treat, and the room (although small) was lovely! We saw a show at the Beanfield theatre so it was in walking distance which was awesome.

Everything was as expected and the rooms are beautiful. We found the breakfast a little small, but that's just our personal opinion.

The room was clean , and had all the necessary amenities .
The room on the main floor beside the front desk is very poorly sound proofed , so we were able to hear everyone coming in and out , but helped to have the speaker on in the room .
The shower is lovely , the bed is very comfy.
Staff was lovely

This is a unique, beautifully appointed hotel whose staff is lovely but not available 24 hours, as I learned the hard way when I could not get my key to open the front door after a night out at a concert. Plan accordingly!

This is a great boutique option for those looking for a more authentic Montreal experience. Griffintown has a lot of great cafes and restaurants, all a very short walk from the hotel. The canal being nearby is also a nice plus. Easy to walk downtown and to the metro.
The hotel itself has cozy, curated atmosphere from the lobby to the rooms. The rooftop patio is also a nice plus.

Had to fight for breakfast on the 26th, I wasn’t happy about that… no one was at the front desk and we ended up getting it late only after I had gone to Makro to complain.
We also got locked out of our room due to mechanical failure, but the staff did their best to save the day and also gave us a complimentary dinner which we enjoyed. It made up for the stress we faced and we are grateful.
Overall after the initial issues were resolved, we enjoyed our stay, and we understand Christmas season is a bit tough to handle.
Great decor, smells amazing and nice location.

The room was nice, a little oddly set up. There however was notary much room to put suitcases or hang clothing, no hooks, only three extra hangers and one luggage stand. For two people in the winter this can make things difficult. Everything was clean and very well decorated. Breakfast was okay, not continental but good, front desk staff should inform about any beverages or describe breakfast experience a bit more. The other issue was valet, very confusing, from the beginning of where to drop off the car, then getting it, then getting the wrong car. They also offer complimentary valet for restaurant guests but not for hotel guests? And one last issue was that the TV in our room was very glitchy and something we did not want to deal with or change rooms after a long day being out and about. Staff was friendly, room was clean.

We had a lovely stay. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only negative side was that the room is very dark, so it made getting ready, doing makeup, etc very difficult. We really enjoyed the rooftop bar and the location too.

The bed was oh-so comfortable, the windows opened which were great and the street not too noisy, slept well, however the amenity that interested us the most was the restaurant that was *so loud* with thumping music - even early in the evening for us older folk - we couldn't stand the vibe and left after our appetizer.

The hotel was very well kept and great for couples. Staff were helpful overall. There is no staff past 11 so if you have any issues I was not given a number to call (thankfully there was no issues). The valet didn’t really help with our bags as much as I hoped. Typical valet will help handle all bags to be delivered to your room, or something but that wasn’t the case. There is a large flight of stairs and no elevator so that contributed to the bag issue and not having a cart to wheel anything anywhere as per usual hotels. The upstairs patio bar also only opens at 4pm and we woke up wanting some mimosas. Overall it’s a well kept hotel, great location, good for couples. However the valet is really expensive for what it was, and the amenities are nothing crazy. If you’re looking for a nice place to stay and bare amenities, I’d definitely recommend.

Very accommodating staff and the hotel is located in an interesting part of Montreal with lots of restaurants, cafes and arts centers. The valet parking takes a lot of stress off leaving your car. And the roof top vista is not to be missed!

Lovely place to stay. I felt more like I was checking into a spa as opposed to a hotel.
