Jean-Paul Riopelle Square is a well-known meeting point. Bustling with life, go for a wander around or simply sit back on a bench and soak up the atmosphere.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when in Downtown Montreal. Jean-Paul Riopelle Square is an ideal place to begin here, but there are plenty of other worthy spots to consider. Notre Dame Basilica, Saint Joseph's Oratory, and Bell Centre are not far from the modern public area and will fill in your day nicely.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,005 reviews)

The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and very good for couples. Stayed here with my husband for 2 nights when the hockey game was happening. So the nights were a bit loud with so many drunk hockey fans walking in downtown streets. There are many bakeries for breakfast: toasts, croissants, banana bread, and cookies. You can also have coffee, yogurt and fruits in the mornings. They let you store your luggage temporarily after checking out, which is a plus for us. Overall it was a good experience. Would love to book here again when we come to Montreal next time.

7.4/10 Good! (20 reviews)

This is an apartment in a standard old 3 story Montreal building. Very representative of typical downtown Montreal living. But beware - these places have little or no soundproofing. You will hear every footstep of the people above you, and the voices next door. This was OK for much of our stay but we were unlucky the first night, when people upstairs, including children, were walking and running almost continually until 1am, preventing sleep. But the other nights were not so bad. There is a lot of space, a good kitchen, and a bus stop to central Montreal right outside. And it is in an area with many nice cafes, restaurants, and tiny unique shops.
