DU MANOIR ST DENIS - Montreal, Canada 

Great value; great location
Posted: Sat, Aug 09 2008
We wanted to stay in a reasonably-priced place within walking distance of "everything". This place was in an OK location and the room was decent for the price. Nothing fancy, but it was passable. Had to problems. Will certainly go there again next time I'm in Montreal.

I love this place

I've stayed at the Hotel du Manoir about half a dozen times over the past eight years, and I think it offers a superb value for the price. It is not a five-star hotel, but the rooms are clean and comfy, with high ceilings and spotless bathrooms. There are many conveniences that are great if you're on a budget: A little fridge in each room, telephone with free local calls, free Internet access in the lobby, and a free continental breakfast (er, which I've never woken up early enough to try). The location is fabulous, right in the lively Latin Quarter, with wonderful little import shops and tons of coffee shops and restaurants. (And let me add that it's a perfect location for vegetarians, with two amazing vegetarian restaurants nearby -- Le Commensal practically next door and Yuan about a block away.) From the Latin Quarter you can easily walk to various other parts of Montreal, such as downtown, Old Montreal, Chinatown, etc. Although the neighborhood is lively, I've never had a problem with noise at night. The rooms seem pretty sound-proof. And last but not least, the manager at the front desk is exceptionally kind and helpful, with a wonderful sense of humor!

honest review

I took a chance with this hotel because half of the reviews on this site were positive and half were negative. I'm here to set the record straight. This is not a one star hotel, it is a zero star hotel. The location is on the busy St. Denis which would be fine if it were not for the local bum population that's parked right outside your front door step. Upon checking in, it was obvious that this hotel was not up to par. The carpeted and cramped stairway featured a large stain near the top where someone had apparently vomitted. The rooms were cramped and haphazardly arranged. At the foot of my bed was our only sink. The toliet and shower were in seperate rooms; the shower boasting a soft floor for which I prayed I wouldn't fall through. The bed linens were not sufficently clean. The air conditioning was ill-suited to handle the cooling of the room. Overall, I would never recommend such a hotel to anyone. This hotel is better suited to be a brothel than a place that accomodates tourists in Montreal.

Never again!

Bad, bad choice! The hotel is horroble! No air conditioning in our room floor and the place smells like vomit! We didn't spent the 2 nights that we've paid, so I want my money back! Please take this hotel out of your list. Not recommended even for enemies!
