LHotel Montreal is a four-star hotel at 262 Rue Saint-Jacques Ouest, the old financial street of Old Montreal, with 56 rooms. It has a very good walking location: the Montreal Convention Centre is two minutes away, Place d'Armes and Notre-Dame Basilica three minutes, the Old Port about five minutes and Square-Victoria metro six minutes, with Central Station eleven and City Hall ten. A free on-the-go breakfast is offered in the morning, a valuable perk in a neighbourhood where breakfasts are otherwise expensive, along with free Wifi and a 24-hour gym. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar and lounge, and valet parking is available at a daily charge with limited spaces and height restrictions. Rooms are generous, with Superior rooms of around 370 to 377 square feet with a queen bed or two queens, Premier rooms with a king bed, and one-bedroom King and Executive Suites of about 570 and 474 square feet. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are. Check-in starts at 3 pm and runs until midnight, and check-out is before noon. There is no pool.
Why choose it
The combination of old-town address, generous room size and included breakfast makes it good value for the location. Rooms of 370 square feet are large by old-town standards, where historic buildings often mean compact rooms. The Executive Suite with a sofa bed is a good option for a family, and the King Suite gives couples more space. The hotel is small enough for friendly service, and the staff can point you to restaurants and tours in the old town.
The setting
Rue Saint-Jacques is lined with former banks and head offices, some of the grandest stone buildings in the city, and the street is quiet at night. Place d'Armes, with the basilica, is a short stroll, and the Old Port waterfront is below. For winter, the Underground City can be reached from the Convention Centre area nearby, and Square-Victoria metro connects you to downtown and the Plateau in minutes. There is no pool, so the gym is the main amenity for exercise.
Who it suits
Couples, solo travellers and small families who want an old-town base with space and a free breakfast. It is less suited to guests who need a pool or spa. Check-in until midnight suits late arrivals, but confirm arrangements with the hotel if you plan to arrive after that. Check the rate details before you book.
Arriving by train, the walk from Central Station is about eleven minutes, and Square-Victoria metro is about six minutes away. Because the breakfast is a grab-and-go style, plan a sit-down meal on Rue Saint-Paul or Rue Saint-Vincent on days when you have time. If you are driving, the valet charge applies, and the parking spaces are limited, so confirm in advance.
