Hotels near Parc Desmarest 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.

Maité & Simon were perfect hosts! They were always available for any and all of my questions and took care of our little family so well. From everything to an early check-in/late check-out so our babies could nap, to providing us with a highchair and playpen, it was so perfect! We had come specifically to Montreal to take our daughter to the Biodome and this location was just minutes walk away. Once in the room, they had a binder full of helpful recommendations and tips (the Oeuferie for breakfast was fabulous). We were even able to secure free on street parking but do watch out as Montreal street signage is tricky!

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Old Montreal. The service and staff were great and we felt very much looked after during our stay. I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to walk around and explore the city as it is located in the middle of pedestrian friendly streets and there is so much to see and do and new adventures around ever corner. We are looking forward to returning very soon.

Found hotel through searches on TripAdvisor and Google Maps. Took a chance booking our 4 night Montreal getaway from NYC on a newly opened hotel. The reviews were great, as was the hotel location. And I vibed with the hotel decor from the photos I saw during my research. So we went for it. And we were happy with our stay. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hotel’s friendly and courteous front desk staff. They were so helpful throughout our stay. Our king bed suite with city view was fantastic. Really cool room layout and decor. Bed was super comfortable. Nice touch with the bench at the foot of the bed. And the floor length curtains by the windows and separating the bedroom from bathroom were room darkening and so easy to open and close. We most loved how the tv swiveled around from living room to bedroom allowing us to watch tv in different room settings. Very cool concept. Shower was fun and funky enclosed in a pink ombré cube and visible within the room We enjoyed use of the gym, indoor pool, hot tub and sauna on 15th floor. The views were spectacular. Areas to improve….but to me, not worth a deduction: - Poor lighting in living room and bedroom. No option to independently turn on/off bedside lamps or lighting in the foyer. It was all or nothing. And although there was a full length mirror in the foyer, the lighting wasn’t great. - Bathroom mirror was fantastic but the lighting was horrible. - Sofa hard. Could have been less “IKEA” and more plush and cozy. A blanket would have been nice touch too for snuggling. - When the door of the room safe located on the top shelf inside the closet was open, it kept banging into and scraping the inside closet door.

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.

Location is perfect ! Within walking distance from most things and literally connected to/in the mall. Service it was decent ! I remember them trying charge us just to check-in like 30 minutes early. Probably standard and still annoying lol however they held our bags for free ! Cleanliness was on point, but they did seem stingy with me asking for extra towels lol Amenities. The pool had too many children; wish they had specific times children are allowed to go and specific times adults are. I don’t think I used anything else. Overall, these are minor complaints ! I wholeheartedly recommend and I would def stay there again ! And my mom agrees !

Our family stayed for 3 nights at the end of December. The hotel was very clean and quiet. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite with kitchenette. There is no oven in the room but there is a fridge, freezer, toaster, microwave, stove top, coffee maker). The midtown location was great! Parking was a breeze, there is a black garage door for the underground parking. Although the parking signage needs to say: “Homewood Suites” it just says “parking de l'hôtel $15” which as first-time guests we weren’t sure if it was our hotel or not. Nearby shops are all walkable. We highly recommend walking over to the Supermarche, its directly across the street to make your own charcuterie (large selection of fresh baguettes, cheese and meats - awesome prices too). There is also a Starbucks directly across the street which we loved! Travellers tip - pack ziploc baggies to store your extra food in. The bathroom was very large and bright, it’s only accessible through the bedroom. We would have preferred to have bathroom access through the living room as to not disturb our sleeping child at night. The swimming pool was quite small for a family hotel (10 person capacity) and the water temperature could have been warmer. We really wished there was a hot tub to relax in at night and warm up after the pool. The included breakfast buffet was very convenient for our family. Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.

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.
