9.2/10 Wonderful! (489 reviews)

Did not use the small kitchen. The room is very small. The bathroom all in one shower is inconvenient. The staff were friendly & helpful. Their English was somewhat limited. Lots of games in lobby & green spaces were a welcome use of space. Walkable to Saint Catherine Street for shopping & restaurants. Taxi ride to train station was only 10 minutes.

Recommended. stay 4 nights, Room was way bigger than the average European hotel, cleanness was as expected and the staff was very helpful with all my requests, location is great with the tram right in front of the hotel, i would prefer to stay closer to the city centre, but i even walk from the city friday and saturday night and it takes like 25 mins, lot of bars and restaurants open late felt very secure walking from the city, an uber charge 12 to 15 dollars from the city, will stay again

Splendid hotel and well located in old city. The staff were exceptional. Always very friendly and helpful. The English concierge ( who spoke fluent French ) gave us some great tips on nearby restaurants and recommended a wonderful wine tour to the left and right bank which was so informative and personal. Money well spent !! I would highly recommend this hotel in such a vibrant and beautiful city. ✅✅
