InterContinental Hotels in Montreal

It's pretty good, the room is a bit weird at night ... too dark

We stayed over New Year's Eve and had a great view over the crowds gathering at the Christmas market. The room was clean and was as expected. The only downside of the hotel is that it's not very convenient to get to the exit, as you'll have to go through the mall first before reaching the lobby and then take another elevator up to the rooms.

We stayed a couple of nights pre-cruise to acclimatise and enjoy Montreal in the early Summer. We had a pleasant stay, very personable staff and a decent room. Novotel fittings seem to lean toward minimalist scandi which can give an air of being sp****, but bedding was very comfortable. Additional pillows appeared on request. Breakfast was interesting, again possibly post-covid staffing issues as things took a while but the staff were again very engaging. Great location on Rue de la Montagne with easy access to public transit and taxis to the port. Definitely would stay here again.

This hostel is one of the best I've ever stayed. Great location with metro /bus station nearby, modern bedrooms, very clean, 24h reception, free coffee/tea, huge and clean kitchen, plenty of common spaces, a terrace with 2 jacuzzis that stay opened until 22pm! The hostel also has an underground bar and proposes several activities on each day of the week, i.e. park walking, dancing night, beer pong tournament. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

We had a good stay and it was the perfect location, lots of places within walking distance - shopping, restaurants, concert hall. We had a small issue with the heat and adjusting the temperature and the elevator was just okay but would stay here again if passing through. Staff was very helpful checking us in and answering some questions about places in the area.

We initially booked at Best Western Europa (on Drummond) in Montreal and arrived after midnight. We travelled from Toronto and after checking in we were given room keys for the 2nd floor (can't remember the room number). The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade and this should begin from the Lobby area. The carpeting area along the corridors look extremely tired. The smell of the corridors is awful. It's almost on par with a hostel. The room we were initially given on the 2nd floor was deplorable and the room/corridor smelt like cigarettes and mold (as though the air conditioner was dripping into the carpet and the smell circulated during the drying process). I can tell the cleaning staff cleaned it as best as they could but the disappointment was not the cleanliness of the room but the tiredness of its appearance. The room(s) (I'm sure not only that room but all of them on the same floor) is too small and too shabby for the amount of money being charged per night. On taking one look at the said room upon entry, I immediately went back to the Front Desk and immediately voiced my disapproval to the Front Desk Assistant. After a short discussion insisting that I change rooms, I was obliged and given keys to a room on the 5th Floor, which I can attest wasn't much better! The only differences were the wooden floor tiles and a 2nd bed (the room on the 2nd Floor had only 1 bed). I must mention at this time, this room was labeled an 'upgrade'!!!! I was charged an additional CAD $70.00 for a room that didn't meet the CAD $70.00 I was being charged. Needless to say, I got into bed. Took out my tablet. Checked online for another hotel. Booked it and checked out a few hours later. On checkout, I informed the Front Desk Agent that I needed to go and be refunded for my additional ten (10) days I had already paid for. The refund was done in front of me and I'm currently awaiting my VISA Card Statement to ensure that the refund was indeed done. If the Best Western intends to keep patrons coming to patronize their facilities in the future, an understanding of what is expected when stepping through the doors of their establishment is required. We DO NOT expect shabby, tired, moldy, smelly facilities. We DO NOT expect ridiculous fees for facilities that are rundown, fatigued and extremely worn out. We expect an establishment that is worthy of what is being charged. Mention must be made that the hotel we ended up staying at was a bit cheaper and had better rooms

Because we booked the wrong date, this hotel did not allow us to change it, but the front desk worked hard to help with communication. The geographical environment is very good. It takes only 10 minutes to walk to the Old Town, China Town and other major places. 

Don't recommend this hotel. This hotel doesn't even deserve 1 star, should be -5 (negative 5) out of +5 (positive 5). Unless you plan to pay a high price for a ”slump” experience, look no further, this is it. My first time to Montreal and will not visit again because of terrible experiences in this hotel. Reasons: 1) Did not honor what's advertised. Expedia stated that it offers valet parking, but it's not. It's self-park. I would not have stayed in this hotel had it not listed ”valet parking” as part of package price. 2) Concierge staff, Mikal, provided unclear and vague information on garage entrance location. Had to ask three times before Mikal walked a bit further to point the side entrance. It's off the street, had he not pointed it out, I would have missed it. I did not see it when I drove by when arriving at the hotel. 3) Made no efforts in guarding customer confidentiality and data: Lack of clear boundary on who can and can't stand behind the front desk counter: This made me feel uncomfortable seeing how any staff, housekeeping, security, front desk, guest services, even manager, Tamara's friend could stand behind the front desk counter to look at any computers and customers' information and data. This could come across as careless handling of customer confidentiality and data. There were two boxes with customer room assignment and data at the counter, even guests in line would easily access if they want to. At one point, there wasn't any staff at the front desk or in the lobby, all gone, with guests waiting, which if they want, they could easily access customer info. The hotel staff don't seem to care. For example, when Tamara checking me, Carl, Jason, Axel, Mikal and Tarama's friend all came over to peek over Tamara's computer with my profile and data on the screen. 4) Lack of sensitivity and priority: Housekeeping Carl, Front Desk Staff: Axel, and Jason, Concierge: Mikal, Manager, Tamara, were all busy doing their own things. At one point, there were 12-15 guests in line with Jason working alone while other staff focusing on other tasks rather than checking in guests to clear the waiting line. 5) Tamara offered me an upgrade, which was a terrible upgrade. Gave me things I did not need and a run-down and dirty room full of issues: hairs all over, dented walls, dented refrigerator, dark room, dirty sinks, food residuals on the chair, dirty carpet, warm (not hot) shower temperature, dusty surface, dirty walls., lack of enough electrical outlet, and many more (recorded with videos). 6) Negative attitude by some staff such as Axel, accusing me being disrespectful and screaming at him when I was not. He hung up my phone call abruptly three times when I called from the landline to raise cleanliness issues after arriving the assigned room. Axel also did not practice active listening. When I called I was hoping they could help locate a clean chair. Axel did not wait until I was done talking by cutting me off saying, ”Jason, seems t

Very good hotel, breakfast is also very good, very enjoy the hotel's service. There are many historic buildings on the street, and it is very convenient to travel. It is a very pleasant trip.
