MAISON SAINT-VINCENT

Lovely hotel steps away from Old Montreal. Was able to leave my bags before check-in / after check-out (just had to notify them via text). They were fairly responsive when texting. Room was clean and felt really cozy. The double curtains were great - felt like it adequately blocked off light so you could sleep in if you wanted.

Some downsides:
- No elevator (they do mention that if you need help with your luggage, contact them 48h before your stay & they can help)
- Noise: Because of the location, it is understandable, but flagging that this is in a busy part of town. The garbage / recycling do come early in the morning but it wasn’t as bad as I expected (I saw the comment from the other poster but I did stay in the 3rd floor so maybe that’s why the noise was not as bad?). I did also still hear some ambiance noise from the nearby restaurant until 12am too but it wasn’t too disturbing & I could tune it out.

Overall, it’s a nice hotel and I’ll likely return again.

Edit (2023): I came back again this year and it remains my fav hotel in Montreal.

Not sure what all the positive reviews are about... the first thing I get when I get to my room is a phone call, not to welcome me to the place, but to ask if I parked my car in the wrong place! Note there is no front desk or anyone on the site at this accommodation. All the communication is via text (or a phone call when they want to make sure you haven't parked at the wrong place :( ).

I found the descriptions of rooms confusing. It seems that all rooms on the 2nd floor have kitchenettes but no desk (there is a desk in the common space); all rooms on the 3rd floor have desks but no kitchenettes (there is a shared kitchen). I had to change rooms because I needed to work and the dining chairs provided in my 2nd floor room were very uncomfortable to sit on. Also, my first room (#203) faced a cobbled street so I could hear every time a car passed during the night, and and the noise of a truck that comes and makes really loud noise at 7:15 in the morning (ear plugs provided for a reason!). The chairs needed to be repaired, I found rubbish from the person who stayed before. After I moved to the 3rd floor things were marginally better (room #305 faced the courtyard, a little less noise but still noisy when the garbage collectors come early in the morning, and there was an A/C compressor humming right outside my bathroom window). One of the drawers of the desk was broken. I also felt unsafe as all the doors are controlled by codes so in theory anyone with the code can open your door. There is no chain or bolt locks or anything that can secure the door from the inside.

On the plus side, the beds were comfortable beds, the furniture was modern, and the bathrooms were clean. I will be looking elsewhere for my next stay in Montreal.

Maison Saint-Vincent perfectly combines the small comforts of home with a bright, modern, luxurious retreat. Small touches like snacks, filtered water, real plants make it feel like home, while achieving a spotless, uncluttered space. Would definitely recommend! The street noise and noise between rooms was a bit higher than normal but not uncommon in old buildings and during a weekend stay. Earplugs were provided but we never needed them.

Super hôtel, bon rapport qualité prix, très confortable, mais la rue est trop bruyante le matin, avec du double vitrage ce serait parfait

My husband and I stayed in room 302 on August 29, 2023. The room was lovely, great coffee maker, with Netflix and also in PERFECT location just steps from. rue St-Paul in Old Montréal. We will definitely be back!
