I have to say i'm very happy we picked this hotel. Staff was very kind and attentive, even during the New years celebration. I would definitively come back to this hotel, everything is walking distance outside the hotel, the price is just right. the room had a great view of the city. thank you hotel zero-1 for making my vacation experience great! :)

I'm really sad to be downgrading my rating on this hotel. Many of my selling points are no longer relevant. I'm not sure if it was great when I was first there during jazz fest because of the high traffic, but when I'm not seeing the same great features during low season either speaks poorly of their consistency, or of their realization that offering certain amenities that made them "different" was too costly for them.
The cool furniture and the decor is unchanged. This time I stayed in a bigger room, which claimed to have floor to ceiling windows. Caution that these are only limited to the corner. You have regular windows everywhere else. The Panorama room still has a nice living area set apart with a couch and its own TV apart from the main sleeping area. You can even slide a wall to separate the two rooms, although I'm not sure why you'd ever do that.
The IP Phone system now charges for long distance. Even domestic long distance! 10 cents a minute flat, anywhere in the world is still decent, but when I used to have it for free, this is disappointing.
The breakfast is no longer "great". Gone are the yogurt and all you have left are apples and muffins. The muffins seemed a bit stale too.
The gym's water cooler was empty and beeped non stop throughout my workout.
The cleanliness overall seems to have taken a hit. When I checked in I noticed some hairs on the wall of the bathrooms. Dark hairs! These guys are slipping when it comes to attention to detail.
I know times are tough, but what hurts to me about all these changes is that this was the most clear sign to me that they threw away the philosophy of winning business by offering these bonuses. Now Zero-1 no longer enjoys preferential treatment when I'm looking up Montreal hotels.1 Previous Review: Show all »

So, I am going to try to review this as fairly as possible, considering that it's not the hotels fault that I was sent here against my will.
To make a long story short, the Hyatt overbooked, and we were bumped and sent to this hotel instead. If you are looking for a hotel that seems like a doomed nightclub, you will be happy, if you are looking for a 4 star hotel, as we were when we booked the Hyatt, you will be quite disappointed.
I understand where they were trying to go with their decor, I really do. I can see how ultra modern can be appealing. I just think that for that look to work, the furnishings need to be really high-end and high quality, this was very IKEA. The overall vibe that this hotel gave off, is of one of those nightclubs that open and close in the same year. It came off as cheesy, and considering the hotel has only been open 3 months, it's plain to see that a lot of their things will not be lasting much longer, at all. For instance, the sliding door in the bedroom is pulling off the wall already, there is no way it will stay on another 3 months.
There is no where to park. You must valet park, which is 23 dollars, plus tip and tax... not crazy for montreal parking, but it's super inconvenient, you need to allow 30 minutes for them to retrieve your car! We waited 30, and the valet boy hadn't even left to get it yet. I would hate to get to my room and realize that I left something in my car.
I don't know what they were thinking with the shower... Again, I know they have this ultra modern theme going on, but I felt like I was taking a shower in a gym stall. The shower was very narrow, with the shower head on the long side of the wall, giving you pretty much no room. I am not sure that a larger person would be able to take a shower in there at all.
There are no king sized beds, in the whole hotel. Probably because they don't fit in the rooms... they are that small.
We upgraded to the best room they had, which did have neat floor to ceiling windows, on the top floor, but the elevator was directly abutting our room, so every time ANYONE used the elevator, even 12 floors below, we heard this loud whirring noise.
Someone randomly walked into our room, while I was changing (luckily I was around the corner, but still).
As for the good, yes, there is some good...
The hotel staff was very accommodating and friendly. They tried to help us the best they could.
There were lots of "extras" in the room, such as wine glasses, plates, and I think a cheese knife. There was a microwave, and a scale, and some other kitcheny type things that were a nice touch.
The TVs were very good quality. Happy to have an iPad charging radio too.
Free wifi.. I've been paying for it, so the free wifi was nice.
To sum it up, there are probably a lot of people who would like this hotel. I'd imagine they would be a bit young (not that I am old, at 27) and maybe be taking a bus or cab. I'd imagine that they would not have to care about a pool or a bar/restaurant or room service. -

The hotel receives 3 stars, but due to a horrible valet, a star gets knocked off. The hotel is modern and clean, no frills but affordable. They offer muffins and coffee for breakfast. The staff is pleasant and the decor is very interesting. The shower design is pretty neat. We chose to use the hotel valet, with unlimited access to your car. Overall it is fine, it can take about a half hour to get your car, so plan ahead. The day that we left, the valet must not have known how to drive a manual, as we discovered a horrible burning smell after we drove off. After taking it to the Volkswagen nearby, it was confirmed that the clutch had been burnt. We called the hotel, but had a difficult time finding and getting a hold of the manager for resolution of the issue.

We were very pleased with this hotel. The price was right and the Ikea-esque furniture was fine with us; proof you don't have to spend a fortune or charge a fortune to have attractive surroundings. The room was clean and well-maintained. We especially liked the kitchenette with sink, microwave, refrigerator, place settings, wine glasses and coffee maker. We don't mind smaller rooms and ours had a great view of the city. Save yourself the money on valet parking - the Desjardins garage on Rue St. Urbain (a 5 min. walk) charges $10 overnight on weekends and $19 on weekdays.

I made this reservation thru Hotels.com's iPad app which was very easy to use. That's 3 for 3 for http://hotels.com very satisfied! Anyway. I read all the reviews and felt that all the negatives were not an issue for my husband and I. I followed another yelpers advice and requested a room facing South for the best view and my hubby piped in with " oh yeah and a high floor please" to lessen the traffic sounds . Good call! As it is across from a hospital and on a busy street. Top floor, beautiful room with a view! Worth it. Now for the bad....tiny but chic. No place comfy to sit and the lighting sucks. Made putting on make up a challenge. Not enough towels despite requesting additional ones. Not a big deal for me but for some an issue. The positives far out weigh the negatives and for the price can't really complain. Would definitely stay here again. Very clean. Now excuse me while I call the front desk to again request those towels...
