Chateau Versailles

Decent hotel.
Minuses:
Small rooms and smaller beds, WiFi is slow, and breakfast is cold food. Also there’s only street parking, which is difficult; valet parking costs $ 27/​day.
Pluses:
Great location, cool building, friendly staff, fancy name
By the way, strange that all other reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars. My review is probably the most accurate, though this was only my first stay. Would I stay here again? I’m not against the idea, I might try other hotels first, but if I’m back in Montréal on business, I might just be posh and lodge at the Château Versailles.

We loved out stay here !
The breakfast was really good, comfortable and nice amenities.
The staff is nice and helpful.
Clean hotel, even though we found a bug in the bathroom, we told the staff about it and the room was double clean after that.

stayed here for work so room was not reserved or paid for by me (when i was checking out sounds like rates are around $ 125/​night). with that said, it has a great location — few blocks away from the museum of fine arts, lots of awesome restaurants within walking distance. quiet, charming with kind of a weird layout (gotta go up and down a few flights of stairs), friendly front desk staff (although seems to rotate every time i pass by — maybe college students?). the room i stayed in was a bit small — no desk, no fridge or microwave but does have a keurig in the room, iron plus board, hair dryer, comfy robe, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, body and facial soap, safe, bottle opener, free wifi is pretty decent and no log-​in needed. free continental breakfast, tea available during the day, a small conference room in the back (fits around 8 people) with projector, also provides catering (we had a cheese, bread, fruit plate).

I saw this hotel on Travelzoo so I decided to take a chance. It’s more of a boutique hotel that is located about a 15 min from downtown Montréal (about 20 min walk to the Eaton Centre). The deal came with free wifi, free breakfast and passes to the Museum of Fine Art for the Pompeii exhibit.
It looks like a huge townhouse when you enter — the staff are all super friendly in a genuine way. Please note that if you have any walking issues this hotel is not for you as there are no elevators. There are 4 stories to this hotel so if you can get a room on the ground floor then great but if you can’t then you might have difficulty with this hotel.
The rooms are all done well — the bathrooms are huge with marble floors; a mini bar, wine glasses and a corkscrew are provided along with an ice bucket.
Breakfast is on the main floor and it a buffet style — the typical cereals, eggs, fruits, cheeses and meat; croissants/​muffins etc and juices coffee/​tea. I was slightly disappointed in that Montréal is known for their great cheeses and they could have showcased them here, however they had the typical swiss and marble cheese slices.
Next time I would probably stay more in the downtown area of Montréal but this hotel is pretty great if you don’t mind walking (which personally I don’t).

Not even worth of half a star. Worst hotel I have ever had the displeasure of staying at. I stayed for 7 nights due to construction in my apt. There were escorts and johns everywhere. It was filthy. I had to change rooms once due to bed bugs.
The minibar had food that had been expired for a year. And if you want your bed sheets changed you have to call the front desk at least three times as they are very forgetful. I had my dog with me. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries one of the nights and accidentally spilled ketchup on the bed. The next morning I received a call from the manager saying that my dog bled on the bed. I assured the manager that if my dog had a cut I would be aware and that it was just ketchup. Two weeks later I received a call from the spca saying that someone had reported neglect of a dog. The spca asked me if my dog has ever been bleeding. I told them no and after viewing him and his medical records they dismissed the case. This imbecile of a manager accused my dog of bleeding on the hotel bed when it was merely ketchup and then on top of it reported me to the spca for animal neglect/​abuse. It actually baffles me. This guy is a sick, twisted, mean and delusional

We were in Montréal for the summer and after a few days in a larger, more common hotel, we decided to go for a boutique hotel and get to know the charm of Montréal and of the West side of Rue Sherbrooke. From the moment we stepped in, I felt like a princess. This place just has such a comfortable elegance. The pleasant and concerned staff were a great introduction. A small working room in the lobby with free computer access, internet and printer, made completing a last minute work project stress-​free. There is Wi-​Fi! :) The breakfast room has a wonderful Victorian feel, and breakfast itself was delicious. The room was very comfortable and cozy. Location wise, it was the best location for us, only a few blocks from the main avenues, so centralized. This would be an easy 5 stars for me but the only inconvenience would be parking. Valet is not terrible at $ 25/​day but if you’re staying for few it’s not the best. Overall, very pleased :)

Where to begin, we showed up to the hotel early and attempted to check in. We figured we would be told that we could store our bags but would have to wait for a room. Much to our surprise we were told of course we could check in. The woman at the front desk was kind and helpful. We asked her where we should go to shop before lunch and she broke out a map. She drew exactly where to go, what streets to turn down and directed us to where lunch was. Each person we spoke to from that point forward was the same way. They gave us great dinner recommendations and helped get us reservations. Each person broke out a map and guided us. Even when we had to take the subway they gave us a different map and made sure to put on the regular walking map where we were heading and where we would end up. It was phenomenal.
That was just the staff. The rooms were quite large for such an old city and the bathrooms were too. It was very clean with comfortable bedding. The fireplace was a nice touch. It was also very quiet.
I can not say enough about the staff and this hotel in general. Will definitely stay again :)

So so so so so so disappointed.
We personally love boutique hotels, service is usually spectacular and there’s usually extra care in putting together the rooms. Not here. We booked two rooms with two queen beds each. We got only one room with two queen beds and one room with one king bed… Thanks?
The AC can’t be changed to your liking. Our bathrooms came with two towels for four people. We were missing ALL of our soaps and shampoos. Carpets are dirty. We were also given these basement rooms. Wheelchair accessibility? NOPE. No elevators! They gave us a keurig machine for coffee but making yourself a cup costs two bucks a piece. WOW.
We tried to ask the front desk how to get places, but they had no idea. Slow clap?
I guess the one star is for the free breakfast we received for all our «trouble». Yippee.

Good place, rooms are nice but slightly worn — maybe due for a refresh. Wi-​fi stinks — good reception but constantly drops the connection. Great location, good rates, breakfast is very nice.

We love the Château Versailles! We had a large room with plenty of space. The valet parked our car ($ 25/​day but well worth it!), delivered our bags to our room, helped us get a cab, filled our cooler with ice on our way home, and gave us directions to nearby restaurants. He was excellent!
Complimentary breakfast was delicious and perfect in its variety, freshness, and amount. Very European.
The location (in an upscale neighborhood surrounded by restaurants, museums, shops, and cafes) is perfect.
Our only criticism is with the wifi. It was inconsistent (at best) in our room. We were told it would work better in the lobby.
We will definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed at Château Versailles for 4 nights in February 2012. We got a great deal (through the hotel) and only paid $ 89 a night + taxes. Our room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom was newly renovated. The hotel is located in the Golden Square Mile area, and is just a few blocks from Crescent St, and St. Catherine, where there are a ton of restaurants, cafes, and stores. The staff were also very helpful and accommodating. We thought it was one of the best deals we’ve ever gotten and we would definitely recommend staying there.

We stayed here for 3 days in early June 2011 on a trip to Montréal. I didn’t actually realize until after we arrived that the hotel is apparently owned by Le Meridian. The hotel itself is quite charming — when you walk up to it from the street it has kind of an old world charm and a staircase leading up to the front door. The lobby is small but the hotel itself isn’t terribly large so that’s not unexpected. It actually looks more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel owned by a large conglomerate — a fact I personally liked. The décor made me think more of someone’s comfortable home than a hotel. The hotel staffer who greeted us was very accommodating, offering suggestions on places to eat, sights to see, etc. There isn’t a concierge but the front desk staff does the job. All of the staff I encountered spoke both English and French quite well (thank goodness because my french isn’t exactly outstanding!). The hotel is 4 floors but… it has no elevator. The front desk staff offered to have someone help us up the stairs but we opted to do it ourselves since there we were only on the 4^th floor (the lobby is actually on the second floor so it was only two flights). When we first arrived I thought the stairs wouldn’t be a big deal and they weren’t a problem per say but I have to admit that after walking around Montréal all day in the hot sun, I was tired at the end of the day and wishing for an elevator (but goodness knows I need the exercise).
The room itself was nice — painted a warm orange with tasteful decorations and art. We had a queen size bed; the bathroom had a shower/​tub combo and was light and airy feeling. Our room had a window overlooking the street but noise wasn’t really a problem. The curtains were ‘blackout’ curtains but we did still find the room was a little bright in the mornings when the sun came out, even with closed curtains. If you are affected by light, I’d recommend bringing a sleep mask. The room had a safe, mini bar, the standards. The room also had a TV with local channels and move purchase options. The room did have air conditioning but I found it to still be a little warm, even on the coolest setting. It wasn’t unbearable by any means but I did notice it at times. This could have been also because we were on the top floor — and the city was quite hot (in the 80’s) the whole time we were there. There is no room service but there is a very good buffet style breakfast served every morning. It had frittatta, boiled eggs, assorted meats and cheeses, fruit, yogurt, croissants and other pastries, tea, coffee, juice, etc. The buffet comes with every room, per the front desk staff, so that’s a nice plus in an expensive city.
The hotel is situated right in downtown so it’s very convenient for getting to everything. There are a number of restaurants and bistros in the area, plus there are two convenience stores within two blocks. The Guy-​Concordia Metro station is two blocks away so that’s the best stop to use for this hotel if you are taking public transport. The hotel offers free internet but there is also a computer and printer on the main floor if you don’t bring a laptop.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Château Versailles.
Highlights:
1. Delicious breakfast — fresh fruit, croissants, hard-​boiled eggs, yummy cheeses and more.
2. Great location in upscale, quiet neighborhood; within walking distance to many nice museums and restaurants.
3. Super comfortable bed, large room, and lots of nice personal touches (nightly turn down service, fresh towels throughout the day)
A few small drawbacks:
1. The hotel is quite small, which means they have a small staff. We visited in August — a very busy time. Thus, our room wasn’t ready on arrival; we had to wait until 4:30 to check in. The hotel will store your bags and make you comfortable while you wait, though.
2. We had a semi-​basement room, which seemed like a drawback at first, but it ended up being just the right temperature for sleeping on a hot summer night.
3. Free wi-​fi, but we had limited connectivity in our room. It was OK in the lobby though, and they also have a public computer to use.
Some other notes:
1. We parked in the nearby seminary for $ 9 a day and had no trouble there. Parking was a little confusing because there is no regular attendant, and the instructions for payment were somewhat unclear.
2. Try nearby Rue Crescent for good food and beer.

Great for a romantic get away. Good breakfast. I would not recommend this place for families since I’d like to stay here again. Bronte restaurant across the street makes the food for this hotel.
