We booked this hotel through the Montreal tourism website and got a wonderful deal. Check-in was quick and friendly. I told her this was my first time to Montreal and she quickly pulled out a map and showed
me where we were and a few points of interest.

Its the little things that get me - when we went into our room everything looked impecable and there was nice music playing. You have to use your room key to have any lights on. I thought this was an interesting energy saving idea. I took some pictures almost right away (before I had time to mess the place up too badly).

I thought the bed and the chair were both quite comfortable and fell in love with the bath tub. I had 3 nice long bathes while I was there
(stayed 2 nights). I just wanted to comment, that everything in the room (and bathroom) were spotless! Unfortunately we were awoken a little earlier than we would have liked. There is some construction near by. The first morning it didn't wake us until 9am, but the second morning they were at it at like 7:30am. It's nothing that you can hold against the hotel though.

Breakfast was nice. A wide variety of breads, cereal, cheese, fruit, and yogurt. It was a nice relaxing start to the day. We didn't use our car once while we were there. We walked to the bell centre and down through old Montreal. We took a cab to St. Catherines street for
shopping, but that's only because it was raining. We took the Metro out to the bio-dome; the metro station is a short walk from the hotel.

Overall, I was very impress with this hotel. If I return to Montreal,
I will definately consider staying here again.

I had stayed at the St.Paul a couple of years ago and had a moderate experience. I thought that over time it may have improved so I decided to return . If anything ,it has sadly declined in service and cleanliness. I was shocked at the rude behaviour from some of the staff , the poor quality food , and the sub standard housekeeping. There is no point in detailing my experience however I suggest that when travelling to Montreal there are a number of other hotels in the area to choose from . It boggles my mind how a hotel can charge approx. $300.00 a night for a suite that has black mould around the bath tub and stains on all of the upholstery. I don't see this property doing very well in the future unless the management takes steps to improve.

After carefully considering our many options, my husband and I decided to stay at the Hotel St Paul.We were very pleasantly surprised - in every aspect. We were given the warmest reception by the doorman, and the receptionist - both were extremely polite and seemed genuinely happy. Our room was on the 6th floor facing the street - I thought it might be noisy, but it was actually very quiet.
Our room was pleasantly air conditioned when we arrived, and we both enjoyed that classical music was playing when we entered the room- it seemed very homey and welcoming,especially in such a minimalist themed hotel. The room design was calming and beautiful, and the giant bath tub was a real treat.
We enjoyed the morning breakfasts very much - compared to other buffets, this had so much class and seemed refined.People were encouraged to relax and read the paper, to take a seat on the cozy velvet sofas and just spend time enjoying the morning.The waiting staff were quick and professional.

We couldn't have been happier about the location, and walked to many tourist sights such as the Cathedral,the docks,through the Old city and to the Market Bonsecours, having no trouble finding our way back. The restaurants in the surrounding area (Old Montreal) were many, and we especially enjoyed a nearby charcutterie, and crepes at a dessert shop.I was actually shocked at the friendliness of all we encountered during our visit - I had heard rumours of unfriendliness in the locals, and must say it is absolutely false.If you go,wear a smile and expect courtesy and professionalism - that's what you will receive, and much more!

The good: nice room (studio suite--well designed, clean, light, comfortable, plenty of storage), great location, excellent restaurant.

The mediocre: bathroom (some nice design touches, but overall more 3 star than 4 star), housekeeping (infrequent and not helpful), the service at the restaurant (then again, pretty normal for Montreal--nice enough, but desperately inefficient), the breakfast buffet (don't like them anyway, so maybe I'm biased).

The bad: the reception staff, with one exception (sorry don't remember his name), otherwise ranging from rude to ineffective to, well, painfully slow (and unfortunately, all requests, from restaurant reservations to housekeeping, etc, go through reception).

The worst: reservation had been mysteriously canceled and only major aggressiveness and string-pulling secured a room.
