Hotel berhampiran Les Tours Barberousse, Montreal

Secara amnya, nisbah harga / prestasi hotel tidak apa-apa, terletak tepat di seberang Chinatown dan hanya berjalan kaki singkat ke stesen kereta api. Terdapat banyak tarikan di sekitarnya, tidak perlu menaiki kereta atau berjalan kaki.

On the negative side first because that’s what you’re here for…The double room was a bit small but fine for a solo traveller like myself. The breakfast bar left something to be desired. I wish the rooms were bigger and the breakfast more expansive (there were no gluten free options). So I couldn’t even have a coffee and toast for breakfast. Literally fruit, juice, yoghurt and boiled eggs. They did have Rice Krispies tho' and I personally can tolerate that. Some others can’t. And the milk is whole milk. No options for skim. That was disgusting on my Rice Krispies. Maybe the selection is better in the summer season… But on the positive side….the hotel is located in the center of all the festival action, Place des Arts,Maison Symphonique, restaurants. You cannot beat that unless you want to pay double. The room was cheaper than most AirBnB rooms available in the same area. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff are knowledgeable and courteous. The A/C and heating systems allow you to easily set your temperature and get the room cozy, especially important for Montréal in February or to cool your room in July. Anyway, I’ll be returning. The scene is too good in Montréal to keep me away and this hotel is a great budget choice. You can buy breakfast locally if it's a problem for you

Great Hotel. Receptionist excellent from the first moment. Everything Clean and comfortable. Location is great.

距離唐人街很近，附近餐廳很多。

I’ll start this review by saying something nice: this is an inexpensive hotel. If price is your one concern, read no further. I’d stayed at this hotel twice before. It’s more of a glorified dorm or hostel than anything else. And that was OK in the past. On this visit, it seemed that the management had just stopped paying attention. The chain on the toilet was broken. The carpet in the halls is dirty and threadbare. The blinds in our room were askew (see photo). One power outlet didn’t have a plastic fitting around it, so plugs fell out (see photo). The sink basin in the bathroom is detached partially from the wall. There was no hand or bar soap anywhere in the room, which seemed odd, especially for this time in history. There was an iron but no ironing board in the closet, which did however contain a full-sized child’s playpen. The hot water heater takes up half the bathroom (see photo). The towels were like tissue paper. But it was clean! Just be forewarned: you’re getting exactly what you pay for here. I think I’m done with this place.

Great little place. Staff are excellent, helpful, kind, and also bilingual. The parking is underground and a decent continental breakfast is included. The rooms are a great size and include a kitchenette. My room had a balcony which was nice. The hotel is in a great location and easy to get to. There is 15 minute parking out front so you may unload your bags. The temperature runs a little warmer than I would like; however, in Canada, in the winter - I would rather be warm than cold! The rooms are clean and comfortable in addition to sizeable. I felt safe and secure travelling alone here and I always appreciate that. I would definitely come back!

I'm a low maintenance traveller so my experience is probably going to be appreciated by people more like myself. The first thing I liked about this hotel was that it had a kitchen, which was great for eating leftovers or cooking cheap ramen. The second thing was the location was also great as it was walking distance to Saint Denis Street and St Catherine Street which comprises of many restaurants and bars. Both streets are also closed to vehicle traffic making them fully pedestrian-friendly. There's also grocery stores and banks. The hotel was also located perfectly next to a major subway station called Berri-UQAM where three lines converge, including the yellow line which goes directly to St. Helen's Island. The airport bus route 747 also stops at this major hub too which was perfect for me. The one con I did have was that the air conditioning is very loud. I personally don't use AC but my friend needed it, and it kept me up at night, so if you're the type of person that is a light sleeper that needs a colder room, bring ear plugs. It is an older hotel, but I honestly found it completely fine. I'm not sure if it's because I tend to seek lower-cost accommodations but this hotel didn't seem that old to me at all.

On arrival just after 3pm, our room was ready and as Bonvoy Platinum members we had the option of points or morning breakfast during the stay. We chose Breaky! Breakfast is a menu made to order fare in the East Asian Asiatique restaurant just off the hotel lobby and was a gastric delight and one of the highlights of our weekend stay. The hallways to the room are concernedly dark and a flashlight is a necessary appliance in order to correctly find room numbers – A design flaw or part of the eclectic experience? Our appointed one-bedroom suite was designed and furnished in a pleasant funky design, similar to the rest of the property. It did take a bit of time and the skill set of an engineer to figure out what wall light switches operated what and how to operate the lighting appliances themselves. At night with all the lights on the room was quite dim in keeping with the needed seeing eye dog darkened hallway ambience. Included in the room was a handy mini fridge along with a capsule coffee maker a much appreciated and necessary evil for early morning coffee fixes! Unfortunately, the first night the HVAC heating and A/C unit along with a neighboring unit banged and clunked loudly at the beginning and end of each of the constantly repeating winter heating cycles which made for a very sleepless night. The second front staff person we spoke to eventually moved us to a another much quieter suite the next morning and the manager Florian followed up a few hours later to ensure our comfort and satisfaction was now acceptable! We are always appreciative when a property is proactive in first recognizing an avoidable detrimental occurrence and then acts genuinely to make it right for the guest – We give the property, staffs and management high marks for their efforts! The location of the property is another highlight of any stay here – Shopping and restaurants are just a few blocks or less away. China town is another one kilometer short walk and The old Port is a bit longer walk but very doable in good weather. We look forward to a future stay and wish to thank the management and staffs for their contribution to the success of our special weekend away in Montreal – Cheers!
