Hotels near Raoul-Dandurand Park, Montreal

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!

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.

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.

The location is very convenient, the off season is very cheap

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.

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.

This hotel was centrally located and the lobby was beautiful! Before I arrived, I noticed that my reserved suite was not what I expected. I was told by the booking agent ( 800 number) the suite was like Embassy Suites. Looking at the hotel pictures, I realized it was one open suite with double beds & sofa bed, without any bedroom door for privacy. Traveling with 2 teenaged girls, we needed that! I called the front desk before we arrived and spoke to Anastasia and the problem was fixed by transferring us to a bedroom suite, instead of a suite! From the moment we checked in to checkout, it was a wonderful experience. Private underground well lit parking was provided. The living room area was on the small size, with the only entry to the bathroom being through the bedroom. There was a full sized refrigerator, with A two-eyed electric stove and a table with 4 chairs and a sofa bed. The complimentary breakfast each morning was good, with a variety of options and plenty of seats. There were 2 restaurants on-site, but we ate other meals off site.

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.

We were a large group of mostly seniors who stayed here while attending the Jazz Festival. I stayed with 3 friends in room 203, which included 2 sets of bunk beds and a private bathroom. The room was very clean with new laminate flooring. Each bed had a reading lamp. The beds were comfortable with a great duvet but the pillows were very flat. Half of us found the A/C too cold and 1/2 found it not cold enough. (Can’t please everyone). We found it very quiet for sleeping at night but the heavy doors could not be closed quietly. Breakfast in the basement was included in the price and included bagels, buns, cream cheese, peanut butter, jam, cereal, apples, bananas, juice, coffee. Boiled eggs were offered on the weekend and coffee was available all day. The large kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances, pots, pans, cutlery and dishes one would ever need and guests are responsible for washing and drying their own dishes. There is a bar, pool table, music and sitting and eating area in the basement, as well as public bathrooms. All of the staff at Saintlo are very pleasant, friendly and extremely helpful with providing directions and answering questions. This was the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed . I found it a bit pricey, but maybe that was because of the ideal location in downtown Montreal. We walked everywhere from here. Highly recommended!
