Galeries Rive Nord Tours

This is sort of an odd hotel. We like quirky boutique hotels, but this one is uneven at best. Great location but rooms on the street are incredibly noisy. We moved to a quieter inside room the second night. No Kleenex in first room but two boxes in second. No toilet paper holder or toilet paper in the second even though the maid had alerted the staff. Very loud creaky floors. Elaborate showers with two shower heads for couples but little water pressure. A window into the room so others can watch you shower. The continental breakfast consists of soggy croissants, corn flakes, sweet yogurt, and canned fruit cups. Some folks seem to love it, but we won’t be back. The staff we dealt with were very nice.

This place was so nice. The unit was clean, kitchen had everything we needed to cook and clean with, there was detergent for the washer. I’ve read other reviews that it is loud around there - it’s a city (but still quieter than my hometown city). We basked in the morning and afternoon sun on the terrace and swam in the rooftop pool. Fitness center and saunas are both nice. One block to metro stop, lots of restaurants around, across from Concordia, walkable, grocery stores nearby, 3 blocks to St Catherine shopping district, close to fine arts museum. A+ staff (Hi Selma!).

Good location, friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay.
