Stayed here for four nights starting on a Friday night. I have lived in Montreal so I knew that the location was excellent. Close to Simon's and the nicer (albeit expensive) restaurants on Crescent Street.

Stayed on the second floor in one of their suites (Les Mondaines). Clean, comfortable with great amenities. I agree with all comments regarding the shower (the number of jets is great) being that is really is great. Lots of lighting and it really is a nice boutique hotel.

Breakfast at the restaurant was very good and all the staff were friendly.

First of all, I booked a King but I got a Queen instead, and I was dissappointed to find out the Queen room was too small compared to other hotels I stayed at; The photos showing on the website showing suite or bigger units with sitting area, with funky chairs and table is not available in the Queen room, there is only a desk with 1 chair, and you do not see the shower area from the bedroom as indicated by other reviews, it is all based on the room you will get.

Yes, the design and washroom/ shower are special, but is it worth the money? Maybe when it's on sale.

Breakfast was OK, but the host was like a robot with no smile and all he want to know is what room you are staying at. Couple of times he moved us from one table to another without even asking us, he just moved our stuff to another table!

In general there was no warm feeling or smiles betwwen most of the staff!

Actually, I felt that all businesses in Montreal need to improve their customer service skills.

Finally, the price do not include parking, so good luck finding a parking in the busy downtown area, otherwise you have to pay about $22.50, after $3.5 discount from the hotel, with a parking lot that they deal with.

I am staying at the Chez Swann hotel. The location is great. Four blocks from McGill University and 1 block from Rue Ste Catherines. The Hotel is not well marked, but it is diagonally across from the YMCA and you will notice a blue lit lobby through glass doors. I paid $96 US that included continental breakfast, free internet, 2 free bottles of water and a discount on parking at a garage close by (with discount the parking is around $25 Canadian). Tip on Parking: I parked on the street (around $5 for 2 hours), because I was not going to be parked for long. I found parking right on Rue Drummond.Street parking fees go from 9 am - 9 pm and is free overnight. The rooms are big... mine had wood floors and the bathrooms are superb.This is a boutique hotel, so if you want room service and doorman this not a hotel for you, but if you are looking for a modern, hip, clean hotel, this is the one for you.

This is definitely the best place to stay in Montreal, if you are visiting

Stayed during my 5 year anniversary. It was a very romantic room with glass partition seperating the room and the rain shower for couples. The bed was comfortable and TV was good.
Some things that were not ideal was that (1) our room had a skylight. Yeah it sounds great and romantic, but when morning comes and the sun is shining, it sucks. We couldn't sleep in at all. (2) there was no mini fridge in the room and (3) the lobby & elevator smelled really bad. I think it was because of the water/ floor cleaner the janitor was using... it smelled horrible!
Other than that, our stay was great and our room was amazing :)
