Review from Mischa I.
10/10/2011
The hotel itself is nice, it is quite modern and clean. We purchased a Groupon for this location and they were very good about honoring it in spite of previous reviewers having had difficulties with hit. Check-in/out went without a hitch and any questions we had were promptly answered. Their concierge is exceptional, she not only knew the right places to visit and things to do but also ensured we'd get there! That said, the remainder of our experience was below average; most notably the noise. Without a doubt this has to be one of the loudest hotels I have ever stayed at and I have been to a few in my lifetime. It's as if they parked a night club right outside our bedroom, which ironically is pretty close to the truth since their open air bar blasts music until 2-3am. Business travelers stay away!
After our visit we needed an item shipped to us that we had left in the room, although we were fortunate enough to have it shipped to us it could not have been more difficult or expensive: 5 phone calls to coordinate house keeping bringing the item to the front desk for shipment, only to be charged $58 Canadian for shipment. I have experienced better. -

Do not stay here if you like to sleep. The club downstairs seems to always be bumping, even in the middle of the week. This is my second stay here (gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time around) and it's the same story all over again - the bass trembles through the rooms and it goes on until at least 3 in the morning and now I'm still awake writing this review. I asked to switch rooms and the front desk brushed me off and told me to check back the next day. Unfortunately for me this is my company's preferred hotel and I'm stuck here another 2 nights...
Also they don't have wireless internet in the rooms. Only wired. Yet another slap in the face. -

My husband and I stayed here last year, and we fell in love with the hotel and the city. Luckily our room last year overlooked the street, not the patio. Seeing as the patio is LOUD, we requested a room overlooking the street again, and were told this would be honored. Wrong. Upon check in our room overlooked the patio. We sucked it up the first night, too tired from traveling all day. The second night we couldn't take the thumping and obnoxious music from the patio. In the morning we requested the room we were originally promised. Unfortunately, we were told, "We're at capacity". Nothing else, no one cared that they screwed up the reservation. So we checked out, 4 nights early. Montreal has lots of other hotels Opus. Thanks, but no thanks.

The new glamorous Koko Restaurant makes her home in the Opus Hotel in Montreal. Lounge in the terrace where there is plenty of room for sun soaking in the afternoon or nuzzling a lover's ear in the moonlight.
In the Grand Salon, an electric green runway cuts through the stark-white room while bold furniture and statues stare back at you, like the giant horse lamp and the table garden gnome. The Petit Salon, draped in black velvet, is located in the building's original section and is an intimate setting for discreet encounters.
Executive Chef Don Letendre of Vancouver's Opus Hotel, puts another spin on what we now call Asian-Fusion. You'll get Steak Fries with baby watercress, wasabi and uni butter. Another signature dish; Star Anise Barbecue Pork Belly Bites with puffed rice and Asian slaw.
Resident DJs combine the latest electro-house rhythms from East and West and dining and cocktail service are offered late into the evening.
Can you see why I am totally kookoo for Koko?

I stayed at the OPUS over the Thanksgiving long weekend for 4 nights. The location is excellent! Close to restaurants, bars, SAQ! Check-in was quick & easy, we received a room with a King bed on the 6th floor. The decor is modern and minimalistic. The bathroom is roomy, with a large walk-in shower. The front desk was fairly helpful, although when we requested ice, we did have to call a few times. Free WiFi in the lobby. The staff was also great in arranging a taxi for the airport. Would definitely stay at the Opus again.

I stayed here with my husband and our young baby - we had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, providing a crib and anything else we needed (even a yoga mat!).
The room was very clean and well set-up. The decor was sexy without trying too hard, great bathroom/shower, and the bed and linens were comfy.
We got a great rate as well, as we visited in March. Happy to recommend this hotel in the core of the city; so easy to walk everywhere and explore fabulous downtown Montreal. -

Good service, even if the waitress didn't punch in my main course until the rest of my table was half way through theirs. The food is mediocre at best. Plain tuna tartar with a weird sweet glaze that, well, didn't go. The halibut wasn't fresh (fine, Montreal isn't a coastal city), the green beans were unfrozen and so heavily toped with CANOLA oil that you could smell it before even tasting. The "japanese cheesecake" was non other than a failed experiment. Oh and did I mention overpriced?

We dined at Koko Restaurant (the Hotel Opus's Restaurant) in August:
I had the wakame salad whereas my girlfriend went for the beef tartare: from bites of it, her beef tartare was strongly seasoned but sported a very pleasant all flavorful mouthsome.
The mint and basil touches of her tartare were great hits here: amazingly and refreshingly aromatic! Although a bit different from my usual classic beef tartare, it was still a very nice and pretty well executed beef tartare.
My wakame salad was richly seasoned, evenly dressed and very tasty. I usually like my usual classic salads with a light vinaigrette, but I must concede that this slightly more complex and yet delicate version of theirs is a success.Great!
Then ensued the cod dish for me, the seafood curry for her: the fish was bursting with a mouth drooling rich flavor, it was fresh and was just perfectly cooked. The spinach was successfully enhanced by the perfect coupled sesame (well thought) and slight touch of saké (all elements that not only worked perfectly well, but were the exact type of mixture that ensures perfect flavorsome). This is one of those rare dishes where I am sold to fusion food (although welcoming in term of creativity, very few fusion fare's dishes had convinced me in the way this one did). Delightful!
My girlfriend dish of seafood curry turned around a nice intense powerful savourish sauce, full of great rich flavors, with nice fresh pieces of seafood. I shared bites of her food and it was
delicious!
Ended the meal with the coconut flan for her (Very tasty), the pineapple crumble for me (awesome!)
Bottom line, this was an enjoyable food experience at a hip place (I was expecting glamourous surroundings with an average food experience, specially after reading some mixed reviews, but I was wrong).
Trendy hip'd lounge decor, with huge high ceilings, very modern while sporting couple of classic touches and a friendly helpful wait staff's service. Nice! -

Can you give NO STARS? Because that's what this place gets. In fact, Yelp, excuse me, institute a new thing, you need 5 piles of steaming shit graphics so I can give THE OPUS HOTEL a perfect 5 piles of shit. This place was awful entirely because of their staff. From the cold talking-head douche-tards at the reception computers to the biatch concierge to the Ronnie-esque fucknut bouncers who think they're secret service... THIS PLACE SUCKS!!!!!!!!! Seriously, go pay more somewhere else, or go to a Hampton in... shit... there's a decent beggar population in Montreal - just ask one of those dirty canadian turds where a warm place is to curl up for a night's sleep 'cause you'll probly be treated better there than at the OPUS. Crap-hole... They ruined all of Quebec province for me.

On check-in was given a room with a single queen though I booked two doubles.
Room was fine. Same as rooms under previous owner (Hotel Godin?).
The valet damaged the transmission in my car. I had a fully-functional transmission when I arrived and no longer had a reverse gear after leaving. Nobody at the hotel is interested in speaking to me about this problem even after 6 phone calls.
Stay away, especially if you drive your own vehicle to the hotel. -

The Opus was in an excellent location right in the heart of Montreal. The decor was modern - looking like an urban loft with large simple pieces of furniture maximizing the openness of the room, although the painting in the room was a bit too colorful for the rest of the decor. The bathroom was excellent with a large shower and great lighting. The hotel staff was very nice, exchanging some currency for me every day(Dollar-for-dollar, which was a better rate than the bank gave at the time). We were also able to catch some of the common-area wifi from our second floor room, which was great. Koko and Suco, the bars at the hotel, were busy every night, full of house and hip hop music and trashy dancing, if that is your thing. Koko even gave me a smoking screwdriver which was a great touch. All you had to do was flash your hotel key to get into either. While neither were my scene, I do admit that the DJ at Suco was definitely putting in the work and gave an impressive mix all the way to the end of the night, with a heavy emphasis on reading the crowd. Koko was definitely less inspired. musically, but it was less crowded and an easier crowd. The area can remain loud at night with many emergency vehicle sirens and car horns when it gets late, also you can pretty easily hear the music bumping in the hallways, but if you don't mind then it's a great stay. We got a great rate on Jetsetter and if we can get it again we'd be excited to go again.
