I was attending a meeting in downtown Montreal in December 2011, and decided this time to stay closer to Old Montreal. I normally stay in downtown Montreal and had never had a stay better than just average. This time was different! I truly enjoyed every minute of my stay at the l'Hotel.

I was before arriving a bit concerned if I would regret the added daily walking to downtown, but no! Walk through the Palais des congrès de Montréal, the Guy Favreau Complex, and Complexe Desjardins, and you're downtown. One morning it was raining hard, yet I barely got wet. Of course you can also take the metro or for instance bus 55. There is a very nice cafe just across the street from the l'Hotel where I would have my morning coffee. Or, if you insist, a Tim Horton next to the metro station. Enjoying evenings in Old Montreal, even in winter, was an added bonus. The lights on close-by Notre-Dame Basilica, the old buildings, and the many good restaurants close to the hotel was great. The selection of good restaurants was better than in downtown itself, and with many more nice cafes.

The staff at the l'Hotel was wonderful and caring. The Christmas lights outside, the art work in the lobby, the high ceilings, and the furniture all let one fell welcome as soon as you arrive. I stayed on the 4th floor. The room was spacious, wonderfully decorated, and in very good condition. Finally a hotel room where it is actually nice to work! Free wifi, iPod dock, comfy chair, quiet, and just pretty made work more fun.

Stay alone, as a couple, or with mature children, and hopefully you'll love it as much as I did. Highly recommended!

I stayed at the LHotel just before the holidays this year, and had an excellent experience. The Hotel is a great combination of classy, and fun and funky, with interesting artwork in the lobby/bar area and hallways. The hotel was very well-located in the sense that it was on the edge of Old Montreal, but still fairly close to a Metro station. Lots of beautiful old banks in the immediate neighbourhood, and the amazing Notre-Dame Basilica is also just down the street.

The biggest contributor to the comfort of my stay was the extremely welcoming and helpful staff - Nicolas in particular (thank you!). I was travelling on my own for this trip, and they helped me truly feel at home at this hotel. I can't say enough good things about the team at the LHotel. :)

I had a room on the 4th floor facing the street, and the room was very large, with high ceilings, and was also well sound-proofed. Also very well maintained. Comfy beds! I was lucky to have a little fridge in my room, which made a big difference in the comfort of my stay. I was told that although fridges are common in the suites at this hotel, they aren't generally included in regular rooms (which is what I had); just something to clarify/confirm with staff if a fridge is important to you during your stay.

I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, so can't comment on that. A coffee maker in the room would have been a nice bonus, but there is a Starbucks on the way to the metro so I found that quite convenient.

I got a very good rate for my stay, and I can't believe the value for my money. I highly recommend this hotel!

I've stayed in many hotels all over the world in my 16 years in the military, and the LHotel Montreal was perhaps one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. The customer service was unbelievable! From the minute we arrived, we were treated to the very best of Montreal. Immediately had linens and baby bed brought to our room, hotel staff helped us with parking, room service super quick. Daniel even ran after us to ensure we didn't leave a baby blanket behind as we left. If we are ever in Montreal again, we will stay at the LHotel for sure. As I said, one of the best experiences in hotel stay I've ever had!

Our testimony is first “on merit” and then “comparative” on scale 1 to 5. On its merits, our Superior room gets top score 5 for cleanliness, 5 for bedding comfort and linen, 5 for service, friendliness, instant assistance,5 for peace and quiet, 5 for location if you’re on business, attending a conference or visiting Old Montreal. One must add modernization of the structure was followed by a real effort to furnish with first class antiques. A nice and cozy assemblage. This was the closest we’ve come to a room of similar size and price in Cordoba, Spain, last year.
We bring up “comparative” because the competition within 300 feet is the Intercontinental, the Westin, and Hotels of the World. So if you are looking for 24-hour upscale restaurant; or to build up frequent traveler points; or a bar in the room; or a swimming pool; or in-house link to Montreal’s unique underground shopping, then you have to consciously decide to go without it. L’Hotel was carved out of a 1930ies bank building and reminds one of European standards; the owners focused on arts, displays and beautiful furniture of yonder years. Most or all the paintings on the wall are for sale. Renovations are up to par : WiFi, iPod dock, 40inch super TV, it’s all there: Pleasant, well done, spacious. But I wouldn’t bring babies and young kids though it is not impossible.
