Hotels near Marc-Favreau Public Library in Montreal

It's a very convenient location as you can get there without having to go far from downtown. Also, there is a Chinatown nearby, so you won't have to worry about food. It was very clean and the bed and other furniture were also very clean.

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

Friendly staff and location...close to old montreal and metro. High floor so nice view of chinatown. Only drawback, also near redlight district and homeless shelter. Not a hotel issue but be aware, little seedy at night. We also liked our room. When we entered room, impressed with modern look but as the days went by, noted hinges off closet door, lack of good task lighting and sluggish drain in bathroom. Not big issue but property needs a little TLC. FYI - told by front desk that hotel recently reopened lounge for breakfast. I booked months ago when no breakfast option was available. When asked about breakfast, was denied and told could not eat at hotel since breakfast option was not included when i booked reservation. So asked how much for breakfast option and was told can't eat at hotel. Was surprised at response, especially since customer service and experience is key in hospitality business. So ate (and spent my money) elsewhere.

Area: heart of downtown - shopping and commercial district. You can’t go wrong with the location. Check-in: arrived late at night so check-in was sort of smooth. However, I thought the parking arrangement need more attention esp the cost. Room: we stayed in studio suite with two double beds. It’s a good size room for small family. Had small kitchenette with all the necessary utensils. Also a small dining table for two. I thought the bad room was tad too small. Breakfast: it was included and was sort of basic with all regular items - eggs, bacon, cereal, yogurt, waffle, etc. good enough to get all fueled up for the day. Cost: I think hotels in Montreal drastically increases in price. For hotel like this, paying over $300+ is something I will be careful next time I come to visit Montreal. Maybe look for AirB&B options.

Do yourself a favor and avoid booking this hotel at all costs. It seems as though they are at this again - I read some reviews during the Covid-19 pandemic that they would abruptly cancel reservations without making any arrangements for the impacted traveler. They have done this again - received an email March 21st advising me that they were going to cancel my reservation (16 days before arrival) as the hotel was closing due to ”Government Requisition”. This means that the hotel sales staff secured a more lucrative contract to rent out the entire hotel and the casualty is evidently to leave a few hundred guests high and dry. If you booked months out, rebooking at another property means that you will now be paying a lot more for a room at a nearby hotel. They have done absolutely nothing to make arrangements for the guests who had reservations cancelled - minimal effort, very poor!

This stylish hotel was pet friendly, clean and comfortable. The friendly and helpful staff spoke English with us, as we did not speak French. There were several, affordable, take out restaurants near by, on the university campus which was great because eating in was not an option due to the pandemic. We enjoyed this property very much, even though we only stayed for one night. We would definitely stay here again!

Arrived in the afternoon, the front desk arranged a room facing the yard, it was a bit dark, and there was a smell of eating in the room, which was not ideal. Then I immediately went to the front desk downstairs to change to another room facing the street, on the 20th floor. Because it is next to the main street of Montreal and close to China Town, the sound is very noisy at night, and the glass is useless and not soundproof. I had to catch a flight the next day, so I didn't sleep much. Each has its pros and cons. The sanitary conditions are good, the facilities feel a bit outdated, but the room is big enough, the service attitude of the front desk staff is very good, and the proximity to China Town satisfies my homesick Chinese stomach. The overall experience is 3.8 points. It's a fair score.

You can park your car in front of the hotel. After checking in, take your card and go to the free parking lot next to it. The room is clean and the facilities are quite new. There is a Starbucks downstairs, where you can watch games, eat, drink and chat, and the shopping mall is nearby.

It was so nice and everyone was so kind too! I’d recommend to visit here before the day when you depart through airport!

We stayed one week in this Courtyard by Marriott (Oct 2022). Located right on Rene Levesques Boulevard (former Dorchester). Walking distance to many sights. Our check in was very fast, we walked up, we were greeted by friendly young man and we made our way to the room, all within 10 mins. Our room was on the 10 floor and we had a partial view looking NE towards the Notre Dame Basilica. The gym is on the 11th floor and I must say that on occasion I could hear the weights being dropped on the floor by some inconsiderate simpleton. There IS a sign in the gym that mentions that this should be avoided. Nice gym great machines and great view. Our room featured a king bed and had good lighting, pillows, large bathroom, shampoo, soap and conditioner. The sink did have a slight ”bad smell” however. Apart from the rare noise from the gym, the room was very well insulated for sound. It was the most sound insulated room I have ever stayed in. The room was very clean. The mini fridge had a couple bottles of water. The room also had a ”pods” style coffee machine which we enjoyed all week. The TV had a wide selection of channels in both French and English and the screen can be tilted to face the bed. A Metro station (Place D'Armes) is nearby and the hotel has underground parking on location for those with a car, I am not sure what it costs. We ate one dinner in the restaurant in the lobby. The food was of good quality and very tasty but a bit overpriced. Conveniently, there is a large IGA grocery store one block up in the Complexe Dejardins where you will also find a pharmacy and other shops. The 747 airport bus stop is located across the street on Rene Levesque (heading TO the airport). The bus costs 11 dollars in COINS only. At about 10am our bus trip to the airport took about 30-35 mins. All the staff we interacted with were extremely friendly. They all spoke both French and English. We would stay here again on our next trip to Montreal but I must say, I found it a bit expensive $$$$$$$. Happy Travels.
