Hotel Bonaventure Montreal

The location was excellent. Very central and across the street from the train station and pretty much walking distance to most places located in the city. The room I got was really nice (I think I read that some rooms are still being refreshed, but that wasn’t my case) and very large! My room had a king sized bed, there was also a sofa, a table and chairs if you wanted to eat or do work and then also a seating area near the window. As far as amenities go, the breakfast included was really good and a great way to start the day (the staff member who managed the breakfast buffet was also very charming. It was nice starting the day with a staff member who always seemed like they were in a good mood). Also the gym facilities were top notch. It was easy to get my workout in. They had pretty much any type of equipment you’d want. Overall, I would say I had a good experience and would definitely stay here again despite the annoying issues that I wrote about below.

Oasis amidst a concrete jungle. When entering the building on street level, I wondered where was the hotel. Spacious room, good size shower, clean cut interior, good restaurant.

Great location at the center of city. The pool and the garden on the top of building was great and cute. Easy to take metro and Viarail so it helped my travel a lot.

Arrived by VIA Canada train. Can either reach hotel via the underground path (complex at first) or across the road after exit the station (easy). Hotel located on 10th floor. Signage to indicate location of lobby and concierge found on ground floor. Store luggage on ground floor. The outside is of old design but the hotel inside is very modern and calm. Reception and restaurant staff were friendly and polite. No staff strike while we were there. No lifts to rooms so ask for room on same floor as the Reception. Otherwise only a few steps to next floor. Comfy bed. Bathrobes provided for use going to heated pool. Keurig coffee machine with coffee provided. Tea, sugar and creamer provided. No electric kettle. Fridge. Restaurant has a reasonable selection. Hotel close to tourist attractions and easily reached by foot (5-15 mins). Train and subway across the road/via underground path. Took subway to St Joseph Oratory. Chinatown has several good places to eat (Kam Fong for yum cha). Montreal is a nice city and not crowded like Toronto. Beautiful and clean with many trees in the city. As expensive as Toronto. People here are very much bi-lingual.

Excellent location! (Surprised to find the hotel was on the 10th floor.) Bed and pillows were comfortable. Nice view. Enjoyed the heated pool with complimentary robes and towels. The breakfast buffet was good. The outdoor space with water features and ducks was a nice surprise. Staff was courteous.
