Myself and my girlfriend moved over to Montreal and needed a place to stay. We booked Champ de Mars just by chance and ended up enjoying great hospitality from the owners and staff for our whole stay.
As well as a cozy room and delicious breakfasts/dinners the owners and staff helped us to find an apartment in Montreal and to start us off in learning French.
An excellent way to begin our stay in a new country.

Not trying to be too negative, there were some good things about this hotel:

1. The Price. At $60, it is hard to go wrong.... but they must have tried their hardest.

2. The Cleanliness. It wasn't bad. It is hard to keep a place like this clean, I'm sure.

3. The historic significance/Location. It was in Old Quebec, and was 270ish years old.

My recommendations: I think it is important that you know exactly what you are going to get before you arrive. It isn't good. If you are cheap, and don't care if you have any fun, this is the place for you. Here is what the room was like:

We entered the main lobby, and got our keys. We went up the stairs to our room, and opened the door, which only opened 3/4 of the way, due to an angled wall which was placed behind the door. The room was painted a kind of greeny brown colour... almost baby-poop-like, with the windows, doors and ceiling painted royal purple.

The bed was a super-single - MAYBE a double, but that would be pushing it. All of the furnishings appeared to be picked up at a Good Will, as they were all mismatched and well worn in. The television was a 13" which was placed in the upper right corner of the room.

The bathroom wasn't horrible. It was all white, I think recently renovated. Although the toilet seat was a little bit stained brown, which isn't that appealing to sit on.

Additionally, we came to the hotel in the winter, so it was quite blizzardy outside. While this might be an excellent location for the summer months, within walking distance to the port and Old Montreal, in the winter, it kind of sucks. You can't really walk to anything, and must rely on the Metro or taxis to get anywhere in the city.

They truly could fix this place up and make it much nicer if they combined some of the rooms, and had a real interior decorator come in and redesign the look of the rooms. Since it is a historic site, they could have made it much more classic inside, instead of making it look WORSE than many of the youth hostels I have stayed in.

Good luck!

One advantage - - No roaches.

Breakfast is no longer complementary with the room, but is available at an additional $10 per person. There is no elevator and you do need to carry your bags up the stairs 2 floors to the rooms. Parking is available just a block away at $17 per day. Be warned, all the pedestrian entrances to the automated underground parking are locked for "security reasons" on the weekends with a handwritten note (in French) directs you to an entrance on rue Champ de Mars to get to your vehicles via level 4.

Um. Well. First of all - do not book online for this hotel - they do not count your online deposit and instead charge you the full rate on top of whatever you paid online. We arrived late (having advised of a late checkin time) and the guy on reception seemed greatly inconvenienced by this not to mention did a very poor job explaining why the full rate had been deducted from our credit card more than 24 hours prior to our arrival (strange?!). When we asked about the deposit he just said it was nothing to do with them. The place is pretty crappy it is very small and there is no lift so if you have heavy baggage be ready to cart it up a narrow circular stairwell. The room seemed reasonably clean - bathroom was good, carpet not so much, beds passed the bed bug test - however, we got a nice little surprise when we found some rather large black hairs in our beds including those little curly ones you really would rather NOT have to experience finding in your bed. EW! Upon checkout we went to rebook a night as we were pushed for time and didn't have the time to look for something better - the lady at the desk informed us the room would cost $200 as it was a saturday night!!! I'm sorry but they were pushing it even charging $100, but $200 is just an absolute joke. So we booked at the Holiday Inn at the airport instead which for an additional thirty dollars was a HUGE improvement. Staff were a bit rude and also nagged us for a tip which made things very awkward and my friend simply retorted we would not be giving a tip as we did not appreciate the giant black hairs in our beds.... hahaha.

I'm not one of those finicky nagging types and I've stayed in many hostels/budget accommodation etc this one was average but simply put just overpriced for what it was. Location was good though - easy walking distance to downtown and right on the doorstep of the Notre Dame and Old Port.

Also of note - breakfast not included and no parking included, the parking building up the road is about $17 per day. However they do provide complimentary wifi which worked well enough.
