Hotel Bonaventure Montréal

Pros!nLocation next to the train station gets 5 stars!nEasy walking to lots of restaurants, cafes and Old Montreal for sight seeing.nnRoom was very clean and comfortable.nnPool sort of…nnCons!nHotel itself is a little tired holes in hall steps carpet but it seems to be priced to reflect the need for updating. Especially the well used pool area.nnPlease note during the upcoming rant or skip ahead that the pool was my primary reason for booking this hotel…nPool was amazing our first night & very warm but our second day in the light of day it was unfortunately, filthy and the temp had been dropped by several degrees. Water was cloudy and there were piles of debris on the bottom in every corner. The top step had a pile of sludgy, hairy debris wrapped around the bottom of the handrail. The pool attendant sat indoors. I was going to go to the desk to let them know that it needed cleaning but in these times, I’d probably just be labeled a “Karen” .nnAfter we were out all day, housekeeping came to make up our room at nearly 5pm. We vacated until it was done but I believe the idea was that we would just say “don’t bother”.nnI will not return the sentiment and say “don’t bother” with this hotel! lol It’s a quirky spot whose overall charm & good location wins you over.nnPerhaps hotel management is preoccupied by special events and everyday guest services are being neglected? However, despite a somewhat flawed visit, 4 stars.

My husband and I stayed there for our anniversary and they were amazing, they had beautiful details with us and we so appreciated it. The room was very clean, spacious and had a beautiful view, the pool was amazing, the hotel restaurant food was delicious, the drinks at the bar were exquisite, the staff was very kind, it was a great experience! We loved it!

I booked this hotel via booking.com for my wedding. I could have sworn I booked the correct dates, as I'm usually on top of things. Booking.com said it'd be ok to get a refund, but this hotel wouldn't accommodate the simple mistake. So, we decided to move it months out.nnWe arrived at a room that was very nice, and they provided a nice dessert for us with a written letter. What was confusing was that the plate said happy 50th birthday. I'm 37. My wife told me not to eat it and was worried it was old and not for us. I decided to eat it anyways and it was great.nnThe second night we brought the kids who enjoyed a cool room with blow up castles, and other activities which was great, as well as the pool. The breakfast was great and good value for the money, but at this price I expected it to be included like other hotels I've stayed at. That being said I understand as the breakfast was much nicer and there was service.nnOverall for the price I paid, I can't say that we'd do it again as we're from the city. The price if we booked today would have been much cheaper which irked me a bit. Overall it was a great experience I was forced to take, but expected a bit more value for the price.

Such a great hotel for March break! Our ten year old daughter loved it. We spent so much time in the pool and hot tub. The service was excellent. We are from Ontario so our French is basic level - the servers were so kind and patient with us.
