“Enjoyable stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We only stayed one night, but our room was clean and comfortable and fairly quiet. The hotel is in the Latin Quarter, which has a lot of street life, so the rooms facing the street may be noisier, but we were in the back (room 203). The rooms all have hardwood floors, and outside each room is a tray of pebbles for your wet and salty shoes (nice touch). There was no one at the desk when we arrived, but someone responded to the buzzer very quickly and was very cordial and helpful. The Berri-UQAM metro station (which is a hub for most of the metro lines) is quite close, and there are a zillion little restaurants in the neighborhood, so it would be a great place to use as a base for a longer stay in Montreal.

You have to go up a flight of stairs to get to the hotel door, and more stairs to get to most rooms, so this might be an issue for some folks. There is parking available in the lot behind the theater across the street.

If you are in to big hotels with a spa and room service and elevators, this is not for you. But if you like smaller hotels in real neighborhoods, this is an excellent choice.

Room Tip: Back rooms are probably quieter than street-side rooms.

“Great small hotel with excellent host”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel is nicely located on st-denis street right in front of the theater surronded by hundred of shop and restaurant(may i recomend confusion restaurant absolutly amazing) but there are late at night and early morning many homeless, junkies and other type of weirdos around the hotel, but their harmless.

The room themselves are amazing, everything you would expect from a boutique hotel and the host is absolutly great. He knows he is highly rated on trip advisor and will do anything for you to keep it that way. Right off we were upgraded to a suite at no extra cost, given free full breakfast for the lenght of our stay (2 days).
This place is great for week-end getaway or a night at the theater. They really do cater to your every need. Definatly worth it.

“"Couldn't fault a thing"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Le Ralais Lyonnais was everything you look for in a hotel, clean, excellently located, reasonably priced, and everything you hope you're going to get.
Excellent service from friendly but not intrusive staff also helped to make staying here for the three nights we did perfect. The owner and his staff were happy to go above and beyond even liaising with another hotel for us where we had mistakenly left an item and where struggling with out French.
It is also well worth taking them up on the breakfast option as the food in the cafe downstairs is lovely and you aren't restricted to a small section of the menu.
The location of this hotel was perfect for us, as we were able to take in some amazing Jazz in the same street, and get to the Bell Centre to watch the Hockey very easily as the hotel is on all but one of the subway lines.
Our room was perfect, large modern bathroom with a very lovely shower, and a very comfy bed.
I can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

“Value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2011

Great location with many eateries just beside the hotel, conveniently located a stone throw away from the metro.. Rooms are old but clean. Service is excellent with free upgrade to suite for honeymooners and complimentary wifi and breakfast! The only thing is that the room is overlooking st Dennis and is very active and noisy at night. Try avoid rooms that are facing the main street for goodnight sleep.

Room Tip: Avoid room facing main street!

“exceeded my expectations”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I was upgraded to a suite on my arrival for no additional charge; the room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing. Free wifi. Includes breakfast at the cafe downstairs, which is quite good. Very helpful and friendly staff. This is a small, independent hotel with a vastly different feel from your typical chain hotel, a bit more like a B&B or small studio apartment. It is located in a vibrant neighborhood, so it is ideal for independent and/or young travelers who want to be able to walk down the street at 11 PM and still be able to get a beer and a bite to eat. For some it might be a bit too vibrant: can be a bit noisy at night, and the neighborhood is a tad sketchy, but didn't feel unsafe (for a big city). Probably not right for everyone, but I could have happily stayed for weeks. . .
