Hotels near Olympic Basin (Basin Olympique), Montreal

We had a good stay and it was the perfect location, lots of places within walking distance - shopping, restaurants, concert hall. We had a small issue with the heat and adjusting the temperature and the elevator was just okay but would stay here again if passing through. Staff was very helpful checking us in and answering some questions about places in the area.

Apart from the first-class location, the hotel has nothing to recommend it. It is a few hundred meters away from the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Restaurant, a popular place in Chinatown, and not far from the Cathedral of Our Lady. There are no attractions around it! The only problem is that the hotel facilities are too old, the room has no windows and smells too bad!

Quite disappointed with the room provided vis-a-vis what was reserved. Two double beds instead of two queens was a tight squeeze for our family. I fail to understand why this happened, particularly since the room was booked two months in advance of arrival & secured with a credit card. I was told the hotel was fully booked for the weekend so the issue could not be remedied. That said, our room was on the pool level which was kind of nice. The room was clean and included a small fridge plus a safe. There was also a steamer which was handy for touching up formal attire. The hallways seemed a bit dim & May benefit from an update. They were quiet, without echos, which was nice however. Finally, the Metro station can be easily accessed through the building which is a bonus! Based on overall experience, I would recommend this hotel. I may consider it for future trips to Montreal but might be a bit apprehensive based on the room switch which occurred.

Well considering this has only been open 7months I am surprised at the poor workmanship. The door to our room let in a beacon of light, it was so poorly fitted. The carpet was lifting, the toilet roll holder was installed wrongly so the toilet roll falls off. A panel above the bed was not painted, the desk under the tv was bubbling and lifting. The service was poor, the breakfast included in our package was kosher, it was not a great selection, cold boiled eggs, cold poached egg, dairy free yoghurt. Cereal was a good selection but no bowls to eat it out of, there was metal knives and spoons but no forks. Our second day we went down and it was closed with no notification thankfully the the hotel accommodated us into the bistro, which is amazing food and questionable service depending on who is on. On our final day a Saturday, it was open, but no electricity as it’s a day of rest. So no toast no coffee, wow again thankfully the reception supervisor accommodated us over the road at the Marriott residence inn. Only one lift worked the whole time we were there. And outside the lift the luggage trolleys sat blocking the route for 2 full days. Housekeeping …. It didn’t come around one day until 5pm and then when we said can you come back in 10minutes as we are going out then. We had already gotten towels brought up from the reception. The housekeeper stood in our door with her foot holding the door open with her arms crossed. Needless to say we grabbed our stuff and left imminently as we felt pressured. On our final day they didn’t come at all. We got back at 1600 and they hadn’t been so granted we put out do not disturb sign out. It’s not all bad… the rooms are very spacious, the shower is huge with complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body wash that’s attached to the wall. The curtains are so thick and completely blockout. The TV displayed a welcome note, and we had a single bottle of water and nature valley bar. One between 2 of us…. The rooms are very tech savvy. With electric panels as you walk in and on one side of the bed. The hotel is really close to the Napur metro station, only 6 minute walking, and very cheap, plus fast to get to anywhere. We were staying in zone A throughout our stay, so bought a 3 day pass for $21.25 which was ideal. Also this was our honeymoon and we had made them aware, they didn’t do anything, we weren’t asking for much, but a drinks voucher or a bottle of something would have made all the difference. We married in a UK Marriott and all they did was love heart petals and a bottle of Prosecco, a small gesture makes all the difference.

We chose this hotel because we wanted to be in the centre of Montreal and we needed a crib or playpen for our baby and the website said they had them free. - Lack of communication: I tried to reach them via Expedia many times and they never answered me. - One of the men at reception was very rude with my husband and he didn't know if they had playpens and my husband had to find one and a mattress for our baby in their storeroom. - Poor cleanness: the bathtub was either dirty or old but it had some yellow spots where I didn't dare to sit my baby; the windows were dirty too. - The parking lot must be very small because we had to park at a different location and didn't even offer us to do it in their building. + Beds were comfy + We could use the microwave at the restaurant to heat our baby's food. + There was someone at reception who could speak Spanish and was very friendly. + It is close to the centre and lively areas.

Booking's efficient since you receive the code for the main door,and your room. ahead of arrival. The reception while on duty doesn't want to do much. We buzzed to enter during reception hours,and they asked if we had our code/does our code not work.We couldn't locate the reception to ask for a continental breakfast item,or toiletries during their available hours.While doing the latter, we met the owners who are really nice people.The boutique hotel does need work as it looks dilapidated in parts of the common area,while the room we had looked tired. wifi,no issue here as an extender was in the hall of our second floor. The bathroom had what appeared to be a blood smear at the exterior tub edge wall. Room blinds are sheer,with an uncovered upper window.With a west side room, this won't matter as much to someone who isn't easily awoken by light. The elevator works which is good when you have luggage beyond a backpack. Parking, the location needs to specify there's ONLY 4 spots,unless one can somehow drive on the sidewalk to park a sub compact closer to the left of the stairs when facing the building to get a fifth spot. A motorcycle will have no issue if a spot's available. Overnight,due to the location,it was peaceful.For the price,this isn't a first choice,but we booked last minute.

Small but hardly ran into other guests. Walls were thin, though, so not a good place for partyers. The guests who stayed there seemed to be quiet couples. Staff were nice and accommodating. Asked for a clothes iron and was provided a steamer; helped look up bus schedules and directions. Wine cork opener in kitchenette. Breakfast offered a variety of typical choices (bagels, toast, cereal, boiled egg, yogurt, cereal, fresh fruit, muffins). (US single dollar bills OK for tips.) Safe, walkable neighborhood to Latin Quarter, Old Montreal, Chinatown, Saint Denis Street restaurants, Mount Royale Park. Would stay here again, but also lots of cute little hotels around. I think there's a safe that the front desk has access to keep your stuff, but didn't see one in room. Our flight was a couple hours early, and they were able to check us in early. Front desk is staffed 24 hours; key card opens hotel door at night for security. Couldn't get air conditioner to work but weather nearly perfect. Need to go outside hotel to a separate entrance for breakfast, but Thai restaurant food apparently made there and deliverable to room for dinner.

Very nice lobby and friendly front desk staff. The location is both a positive and a negative - it's so central to McGill University, shopping, restaurants, etc, but my room was facing the main street and it was extremely noisy at all hours of the night and day! There was construction going on across the street that continued up until midnight and then started again around 5-6 am! I'm so glad I had earplugs but still! I asked to be moved, but the front desk staff said there were no free rooms available. I think the least that they could have done was provide a discount for rooms facing the street, because it was extremely loud at all hours. The bed was very comfortable, as were the pillows, and were it not for the noise, it would have been an extremely comfortable stay. The room was quite large, and included a mini fridge and coffee maker. What I don't understand about this hotel room (not sure they are all the same) is that they had blackout curtains but only for half of the window! It was impossible to close them all the way because the curtain rod was split into two non-joining pieces! Why in the world would anyone have blackout curtains that could not be closed, thus defeating their entire purpose? We were in fact worried about people from adjacent buildings being able to see into our rooms at night, because while there was a sheer curtain that covered the whole window, it was physically impossible to close our curtains! The reason I gave three stars instead of more was due to the noise and the lack of curtains - otherwise, it would have been a 5 star stay.

The best hotel in Montreal, every option is perfect. Location: In downtown Montreal, take bus 747 from the airport to Rene Levesque / Union station and walk for 2 minutes to the hotel. The nearest subway station is less than 5 minutes walk and easy access to Old Montreal. Facilities: gave me a large suite, a hall, two bedrooms, double bathrooms, plus a kitchen. In terms of area and facilities, it can accommodate at least 4 people. The kitchen is very convenient. The refrigerator, microwave, electric stove, and kitchen utensils are complete. If you are willing to do it, you can have a very hearty dinner. Breakfast is included in the room rate. Breakfast is simple, but basic things such as bread, fruit, eggs, juice, and coffee are all available. Hygiene: Although the room is large, the hygiene is meticulous, it is clean everywhere and there are almost no flaws. Service: Only the front desk and restaurant are very friendly.

We stayed at the Auberge Objectif Sante for a couple of nights last week. It is in a very much French speaking part of Canada and is run by a Chinese couple where the husband speaks very little English of French. I found using google translate on the phone was an effective means of communication. The lady appears to speak passable English and French. When we checked in we were asked for payment before being sent to our room. The room itself was very small but we had expected this. It was okay for two nights but the lack of bedside tables was a bit of negative. The bed itself was the fold down type that could be folded up against the wall. It was quite comfortable. They asked if we wanted the housekeeping service on our middle night and we said that we did not need this. Despite being small, the room was quite adequate for cleanliness but one single very small bit of soap in the bathroom was not quite enough. They offer breakfast at extra cost and I would recommend taking this. The breakfasts were very good and set us up for the remainder of the day. Chambly is the nearby town which styles itself as a suburb of Montreal. We ate there on our first evening and were pleasantly surprised by it's vibrancy and nightlife. Sadly there are very few places to stay in the vicinity and Chambly is too far to walk from The Auberge Objectif Sante. We also took a day trip to Montreal and found that we were well placed to drive to the metro station at Longeuil. A tip is to park in the public parking at Hotel Sandeman. The Metro station is immediately adjacent. So would I recommend the Hotel Auberge Objectif Sante? If you are looking for a full hotel, then definitely not. If you are looking for a modest motel that is well kept, clean and you don't mind having to drive everywhere, then it is okay . For the price, there were no real problems.
