Novotel Hotels in Montreal

The room was okay. It was very cold when I checked in. I thought there was no heating. When I opened the air conditioner vents, no hot air came out. The heater was next to the window sill. It took an hour or two to warm up. I booked the room through prepaid RMB through Ctrip. When I checked out, the front desk I was charged Canadian dollars again. If you don’t speak English well, you may not be able to explain clearly. Fortunately, the money was returned in the end. However, in the winter, there are green ducks and swimming pools outside the house, which is quite magical.

The CBC booked this hotel for my wife and I during our stay in Montreal. It was during the Jazz Festival, Cirque in the streets, and a great deal of other happenings. The hotel staff were exceptionally courteous and friendly. The food (especially breakfast) was top notched and reasonably priced. The rooms are more on a European level/style, but the rainshower was great. Would high recommend this hotel.

We stayed over New Year's Eve and had a great view over the crowds gathering at the Christmas market. The room was clean and was as expected. The only downside of the hotel is that it's not very convenient to get to the exit, as you'll have to go through the mall first before reaching the lobby and then take another elevator up to the rooms.

Very good location in downtown Montreal - close to the Palais des Congres and Chinatown. Property well maintained. Room was small, but fine for 1 or 2 people. Room includes a simple breakfast of cereal, breads, fruit and hard-boiled eggs. Parking is available for a fee, but is very limited.

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.

While I would agree about most of the positive remarks about this hotel we experienced a very noisy evening with a wedding reception below. A very loud and constant beat. We are unable to sleep while this was going on. You can't control what occurs outside, you can within the hotel. A four star hotel with knowledge of this issue should not make this room available when they have a noisy event below. We did enjoy the rest of our stay but no one should have to endure the noise we were subject to when it could have been avoided.

What a cool place with great service, A lot of choice for hotels in Montreal, we went for this AC Hotel because we tried an AC in Barcelona and it was AMAZING! So there we go, we arrive with my husband in this gorgeous reception floor with high ceiling and cool vibes for design and music. You can tell its new! The staff was so friendly, they gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants but also activities (like the Scandinave spa, Pointe a Callieres museum, roof top bar in the old port) You can walk to everything, there is even a mall across the street with a pharmacy, Dollorama and a SAQ. We got this cool design with our King bed of what the staff called an 'open concept' room, we loved it because it had a gorgeous view of the Old Montreal. Also, I loved that the mirror and the sink were in the center of room, so different and perfect natural light through the room to look at my outfitting before going out... On the 12th floor, the best pool in town... I am sure of that! I probably wont be returning soon to Montreal soon but I will come back to this hotel for sure, mostly because of the staff and modern design! Thank you for working so hard to make our stay wonderful! Love, Sophie

Stayed in a 10-bed dorm at M Montreal for the F1 race. So my experience during an incredibly busy weekend might not be the norm. Overall, I had a good stay. Details below. The Good: - Location. It's really fantastic from the airport, to the race track (for me), buses, metro and a Bixi bike station half a block away - Grocery store and pharmacy half a block away too, so convenient. - Kitchen in-house is large and well stocked. But fridge and shelf space is tight so FYI there. - Workroom for remote staff is large but not super equipped as a workspace with outlets. But a nice space and quieter than the kitchen - My dorm was a private room converted into a dorm so we had a bathroom in the room and small kitchen (but with no supplies). Having the sink and fridge was really helpful while staying there. - Privacy curtains and plugs in the bed are great and the locker below is large and works for most bags and extras. - Wifi was solid the entire time, even when doing video and audio calls. Stronger in some parts than others but still good. Items to be aware of: - Neighborhood. It's fine but not great. Lots of unsheltered and unsheltered with mental health issues on the street at all hours screaming and making noise. Police presence around there was constant while I was staying. - Courtyard noise. On weekends it can get loud in that courtyard at all hours. - The mattresses are better than I expected based on other reviews, but they are not great. After 7 days my back was absolutely killing me. I truly don't get why they don't have something with better support but if you're staying for 2-3 days, you're good, longer, be aware. Overall, I would stay again but not for a long visit. The mattresses are that awful. There were still a lot of good points of the hostel though so I would recommend it to others. - Water pressure in shower is awful, but functional.
