Review from B J.

My husband and I stayed at Chateau 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.

When I visited Montreal with a group of college friends, Chateau Versailles was our crash pad. Wait, "crash pad" makes it sound like a cheapo hostel for 18-year-old American college kids who go to Quebec to [legally] drink.
Well, part of that is true! But the part about it being a cheapo hostel is not.
Chateau Versailles is a beautiful boutique hotel with tasteful French-inspired decor throughout the lobby and guest rooms. Rooms are clean, quiet, comfortable, and well-appointed. The front desk and bell staff are very accommodating and brimming with hospitality.
And contrary to my purpose for visiting Montreal, this is not a hotel for rowdy college drunkards. It's an excellent choice for business travelers, couples, and families. Great location walking-distance from a subway station, ample dining and nightlife, and the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Montreal.
Room rates are low for the quality of the hotel. But that's a good thing. Because of it, I didn't have to sleep in a cot at a hostel during my stay in Montreal. -

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.

We really enjoyed our stay at Chateau 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. -

We stayed here for 3 days in early June 2011 on a trip to Montreal. 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 decor 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 4th 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 Montreal 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. -
