This Hotel is fantastic. It's cozy and modern at the same time. The staff is so professional and friendly.
Breakfast in the morning is good. Fresh croissants and fruits. Coffee is really good. I tried the Moka and the Expresso. They really are putting an effort to every little details.
The rooms are fantastic and let me tell you that I have never found pillows as comfy as theirs.
Situated in the old montreal. This is really the top choice for your stay in Montreal. -

This is the cutest hotel. I will forever stay here anytime I visit Montreal. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The Le Petit family really knows how to provide first class service.
The location is perfect. I was able to walk all over. There are some fantastic restaurants just in a one block radius of the hotel.
For my birthday the staff surprised me with a delicious red velvet cupcake and brought us a DVD player and Sex and the City 2 because it was a rainy day. Every morning I was excited about my croissant and coffee. -

This hotel reminds me of what I love about Montreal. It's French, it's modern yet also traditional, it's romantic and artistic, the people are friendly and at the end of the day, it's reasonably priced.
Located right on St. Sulpice, in the heart of Old Montreal, you couldn't get a better location if you're looking for a real getaway. The cobblestone streets, galleries, restaurants and stores have gone through the process of becoming hipper, local and less touristy since I lived here in this city six years ago. Now it's full of five star restaurants, hip cocktail lounges and cafés all in walking distance.
Le Petit Café - basically the lobby - is small and intimate but also perfectly suited to the hotel itself. Petite dejeuner (continental breakfast) is included with the room and served downstairs. The rooms themselves are relatively large, with nicely appointed windows and comfortable beds. I loved how the walls were rustic stone, while inside the room you'll enjoy free WiFi and even a digital temperature massage shower. Some drawbacks were that my in room internet dropped frequently and the closet needed a light, but beyond that I had no complaints.
While I was here on business, I could definitely see myself returning for a romantic weekend vacation. Voila! -

Great friendly staff. The young man who checked us in made a great nearby restaurant recommendation which was just what we were looking for and not a tourist trap.
Very nice morning breakfast and espresso drinks.
Would return. -

Super reasonable mini fridge item prices. So much so that we cleaned out all of the beer.
The continental breakfast spread was also nice. I particularly enjoyed the fruit salad and thick slices of bread for toast. My beloved enjoyed the yogurt, pastries, and coffee.
The front desk folks were pleasant, the bed was fantastic, and the room was nicely furnished.
What impressed me the most was - in the rather small bathroom- the funnest shower I've ever used. I've used fancy shower things in the past where I have water blasting me from all sorts of directions, but I've never had one where I could adjust the spray, adjust the temp, and do all of it from a little command center. It was like programming a flight, except that it was shower.Listed in: Montreal without a car

Although I was staying at the Nelligan (sister hotel right up the block) many of my colleagues stayed at Le Petit and I had the opportunity to see a number of rooms, eat breakfast, have a drink, etc.
This is one of the most unique hotels I've ever seen. While the building is 17/18th century stone, classic Vieux Montreal- the interior is modern elegant funk. Because of the idiosyncrasies of the building, the rooms are all VERY different, with weird angles, exposed stone, beams, wildly differing ceiling heights etc. For example, one room on the fourth floor opened to an interior staircase and then a split room with sitting lounge/area to the left and a bedroom to the right. Beautiful. A second room was in its own area, a sort of half floor, the only room with a private staircase right by the lobby coffee bar. Strange, but so cool.
Wonderful complimentary continental breakfast and coffee, and among the coolest collection of light fixtures I've ever seen.
Unique, boutique, clean, stylish and an extraordinary juxtaposition of old and new. I love this hotel! -

We just had a very lovely honeymoon stay in Le Petit Hotel. The location was prime - right in Old Montreal, on a cute street with a bunch of restaurants and boutiques. The hotel was a tiny bit hard to find, but only because we were looking for a sign and there wasn't one - just the name of the hotel on the windows. The staff took our car for valet, and kept it for the whole four-day stay. The lobby, cafe and eating-area are small, but stylish and well-decorated. I could easily see someone choosing to sit with a book or a laptop there (although we didn't because we had lots of sights to see!).
The room was very nice. We were on the fourth floor in a "medium" room, which was fairly spacious for two people with lots of closet room, a desk, a comfy chair, two night stands and a king-sized bed. Our window was facing the wall of the adjacent building, so not much of a view, but it meant that we had a very quiet stay with no noise or light problems. The bathroom was a little cramped, but it was no problem for us and the amenities were nice, including the Aveda bath products and the shower with all sorts of strange options. The mini-bar is limited, but reasonably priced. It was a very clean hotel on the whole, and the maid service tidied up the room daily, replaced the towels and set the iHome music player/alarm clock to a soft trance music. The room, even on the fourth floor, had very good (and free!) wifi service.
The continental breakfast was a nice start to the day, and it's sad that more hotels these days don't offer it. The options were limited, but the quality was very good. Plain and chocolate croissants, fresh breads for toasting, cereal, yogurt, fruit and coffee/tea. The staff would also come around and offer to get you orange juice or a fresh latte. Not a stuff-yourself breakfast, but perfect to keep you going until lunchtime.
The service was, in a word, excellent. The staff was always pleasant and prompt with any requests, and personable while also being professional. Check-in and check-out were both fast, as was the valet. The provided us with maps, directions, called us a taxi, and gave excellent restaurant recommendations and made reservations. They remembered who we were and asked us specific questions about how our day had been and whether we liked the restaurants, etc. It was a nice benefit to being in a smallish hotel.
If (when?) I return to Montreal, I will definitely be choosing Le Petit Hotel. -

Le Petit Hotel was a wonderful place to stay for our 4 nights in Montreal. Located just by the waterfront and Notre Dame. The staff made good recommendations for us for dinner on our first night; we'd had a long drive and didn't want to venture far, but they steered us clear of the touristy spots.
Every morning, the hotel has a wonderful spread for breakfast. As others point out, getting there on the early side is a good idea, but breakfast comes with one espresso beverage included (and the staff are great baristas!). Food items include yogurt, fruit, cereals, milk, croissants (plain and chocolate), muffins, and more. Throughout the day hotel guests can have filter coffee or tea as much as they like. We spent our mornings working in the lobby, enjoying the wireless and coffee, and then heading out in the afternoon to see the city.
The room's ambience was great and the shower is very high-tech. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. -

Definitely a 10. The hotel was everything we wanted for our stay in Montreal, small and intimate and conveniently located. All the people on the front desk patiently answered our questions and gave us very helpful suggestions. The bed was amazingly comfortable. A big white king size, looked like a giant marshmallow. We didn't want to get up from it and, only did so because we had so much touring to do. The shower was another blissful experience. Overhead spray and two side panels with shower heads you could adjust individually.
The continental breakfast was better than expected. Yogurt, fresh fruit compote, cereals, croissants (get the chocolate one) muffins and great raisin and grain breads. The breads were so good we ordered a couple of loaves to take home with us.
A truly delightful four night stay. -

Great location.Cramped front door Competitive rates.Interesting clientele.

Review from Crystal H.
Vancouver, BC
Some hotels feel stuffy and formal. Some hotels feel old and worn. Some hotels have no character at all... But Le Petit Hotel feels JUST RIGHT.
There's something about walking into a room that is both minimal and modern yet comfortable. Yup, I could get used to a room like this. The medium size is perfect for two. Up on the 4th, the top floor, ceilings are angled. The bed is soft and king sized. The closet space, large, organized and contained. From here, there's no view per se, but you're in Old Port after all, and as soon as you walk outside, you're immersed in another world!
If you don't squeal about the shower - for novelty sake - I'll think there's something wrong with you. And if you don't shriek the first time you try to use the multiple knobs, temperatures, and various settings... well then I'll just think you're smarter than me. It's a swank bathroom with glass, glass, and more glass. My only suggestion - more hooks folks!
And the complimentary breakfast? First off, having a lobby slash coffee shop suits me perfectly on a work trip. Second, the chocolate croissants? The espressos? The fresh fruit salad? This made staying here a treat. And getting their current promo 4 nights for the price of 3, made it all the sweeter! -

From the minute we arrived until the moment we left, I was thoroughly impressed with Le Petit Hotel in Montreal.
The hotel truly does feel like a small boutique hotel; all the staff members remembered us when we came through and asked about our time in Montreal. They had some fantastic recommendations for dinner, which made this celebratory weekend away complete.
The room was a little cozy, but the modern, upscale feel really made up for it. Also, even on a busy weekend in Old Montreal, we never had any problems with noise. Also the complementary lattes in the morning were delicious!
This is definitely my first choice hotel every time I visit Montreal from now on; I'd highly recommend it. -

My Montreal routine...
Wake up around nine or ten (hey, that's really early on the west coast). Head downstairs for croissants and a proper cappuccino.
Smiles and bonsoirs all around from the staff.
Ready, set, aller to the Metro.
The WiFi was a but spotty up on the fourth floor but seemed to work well in the lobby.
The staff really do rock! I spent quite a while chatting with the front staff over the weekend. And they are genuinely Funny, Useful, and Cool!
The small hotel. Home sweet home in Montreal.Listed in: Montreal is definitely La…

My girlfriend and I just spent the weekend at Le Petit Hotel and really enjoyed ourselves. As everyone else points out, the staff were very friendly.
The room was fantastic. 4 huge floor to ceiling juliet balconies, stone walls, nice hardwood floors and a super comfortable king bed. The bathrooms we're decent, but kind of lacking the style of the rest of the room.
The complimentary croissants and latte's were great first thing in the morning. Oh and they must have made a note that it was my girlfriends birthday when I booked months ago, because they dropped off a cupcake and a card when we were out. Nice touch.
My only minor issues:
They were stingy on towels.
An HDTV with no HD. Not a huge deal as we weren't there to hang out all day, but when paying for a nice hotel, I usually expect to at least have the amenities I have at my own home.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Really great place. Friendly and helpful staff, the rooms are clean, comfortable and modern and the location superb.
The complimentary breakfast is limited, but carefully chosen and delicious. The baked goods are delivered daily at 6 a.m.
My only complaint is there is no in-room recycling program.Listed in: 5-star Reviews, Montreal

We stayed here for two nights to celebrate our anniversary, and I have rarely, if ever, had a more pleasant experience with a hotel or its staff than I have with Le Petit Hotel.
Our arrival on Friday came in the middle of the day, and the young lady at the front desk advised us that we would be better off parking our car on the street and feeding a machine every couple of hours until 9pm (when it's no longer necessary) than to pay the fee to park in their valet lot. This prospect, of course, is made more attractive by the fact that in Montreal, you don't have to go back to your car and feed a meter - there are computerized machines all over the city that accept money to keep your car legally parked while it is many, many blocks away!!
In any case, check-in was a breeze, and our room was spotless, funky, cool, and had everything we could have needed for a stay in the city.
The location of this hotel, in the heart of Old Montreal, so European in aspect, is a wonderful boon for us tourists - so much to see and so many places to enjoy within walking distance, it was obvious that we would really need several more days to truly enjoy the city!
The free breakfast the hotel offers is a wonderful value (it's FREE!) - get there early to enjoy fresh croissant, various muffins and pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, juice, milk, and good strong coffee! A great way to start a day of sightseeing.
We couldn't have enjoyed our stay here more, and will be back to Montreal again, and will go out of our way to stay here again if we can. All the staff members we spoke with were helpful, friendly and courteous, and all happy to point out areas to visit, tips for getting around the city and recommendations of all kinds.
Highly recommended! -

A nice little weekend getaway with my best friend to Montreal. We had Le Petit Hotel recommended to us by a coworker, and he was right! It was wonderful!
Location was fantastic, on a great street in Old Montreal. The room was a good size, beautifully styled. I loved the iPod-radio dock beside the bed. Our ceiling was vaulted with exposed stone walls. A huge organized closet space.
Breakfast included! I'm not a coffee drinker, but there were a selection of teas to choose from. Cereals, granola, yoghurts, cut up fruit, and an assortment of breads and croissants. The perfect light breakfast before we went walking around Old Montreal for the day.
The staff was super nice when we asked for help and recommendations. I'd definitely want to stay there again!! -

I heart this place!
It is the perfect boutique hotel to stay in the heart of Old Montreal.
The lobby of the hotel is very quaint and has a cafe as well.
The room was impeccably decorated and modern and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in.
They give breakfast every morning which was a great spread along with the most amazingly big croissants and a cafe coffee.
But the thing I most appreciated about Le Petit was the service. The front desk staff were the most pleasant and accommodating people.
They gave great restaurant recommendations and even made the reservations for us. They also showed where to go in the city and printed out maps.
I would definitely recommend this hotel over any other in Montreal to anybody because I had such a great experience here. -

Oh Le Petit Hotel. How I wanted to give you 5 stars. But to earn 5 stars in my book, you have to be perfect. And you were so close to perfect, but just not quite there.
The. best. shower. ever. Seriously, ever. So crucial to warm up after a day of walking around in the ridiculous cold. Props for the side jets and ample shower head settings.
Large, comfy beds. Modern decor. Delicious complimentary breakfast. If you want a latté or capp, just ask the barista and she'll make one for you at the counter.
Buuuuuuut...they didn't replace the toiletries. BOTH nights I stayed there. And the Aveda products are so amazing, this was really a bummer.
I'll still be back in a heartbeat next time I'm in Montréal. I'll just come armed with my own shampoo and conditioner. -

I stayed at the Le Petit Hotel (LPH) for a few days in early August, just as it was opening and I was impressed on all levels.
First the service is amazing. The staff was attentive, young, and very helpful.
Second, the design of the place is really striking and unique. Its a relatively small hotel and it feels very cozy but it has all of the amenities of a much larger hotel. For example, they let me use the gym at one of their sister properties which was just a block away.
Third, the breakfasts was just amazing and it made the price of the hotel seem like a steal.
Fourth, the bed is incredible and it made me want to never leave the room, And there are nice little charms like the iPod charger/stereo, flat screen tv, and really cool looking furniture.
Fifth, the shower is just incredible--its worth the whole trip to Montreal. Its hard to explain but you have to just go there.
I highly recommend it! -

My wife expertly handles all of our accommodations when we travel. Once again she picked a winner!
We stayed at this boutique hotel between Christmas and New Years. It is located in Old Montreal and was very convenient for getting around.
We had a medium sized room and it was perfect for the two of us. The only qualm my wife had was that she disliked the lighting in the room.
A European continental breakfast was available every morning. They had a nice arrangement of huge croissants and various freshly baked sweets. Also, had some dry cereal and a large bowl of cut up fruit.
The young staff is very enthusiastic and eager to please!
I would highly recommend the Petit Hotel and would happily return. -

We stayed here for 5 nights while in Montreal. The rooms are a little on the small side, but the staff (which is what makes a great hotel in my opinion) are excellent. They really helped us to explore the city.
The location is amazing if you like good food as it is within walking distance of many of the top tables in town.
Quick Tips:
They have bike storage in the empty unit next door.
Arrive early for breakfast or there will be none left. -

chic and hip, friendly staff who were accommodating and knowledgeable about the area, and a great breakfast included to start the day (chocolate croissant, fresh fruit, granola and green tea for me!). i enjoyed everything from the ridiculously comfortable bed, to the shower with FIVE heads (yes, five), to the trance-like music playing from the iHome when we walked into the room, to the really, really cool pens made out of rolled paper. the bathroom was fully stocked with aveda products. natural ingredients and no animal testing - allowed me to enjoy the five headed shower even more!
location was perfect for those interested in old montreal. located on rue saint-paul, it's surrounded by cafes and galleries, and it's only a five minute walk to notre-dame.
overnight valet parking was $25 (includes in/out), and they held our car for the day even after we checked out at no additional fee.
we'll definitely go back again. -

I agree with all the reviews, esp regarding the staff, they were super friendly and eager to please, as well as the cleanliness and modern cool decor. The unfortunate thing for me was that I paid a super high rate to stay here (over $400) due to it being grand prix weekend even though we wanted no part of that! We had the smallest room they offer and it was just a bit too small for us - and the lighting is a bit dim due to it being in the old city with brick buildings very close to eachother and limited natural light. For the money, we got ripped! But for their normal rates, this hotel is definitely worth it. It was a quick walk to the metro which we utilized and it was in walking distance to cirque du solei which is at the old port. Try it, but don't go for grand prix wknd!

Great boutique hotel in the heart of Old Montreal and perfectly situated among all the hustle and bustle, especially on the weekends. Everything is a stone's throw from this place - Cirque de Soliel, Bixi bikes, bike rental, bike/running paths, good restaurants, metro, the list goes on and on. The décor is very hip and contemporary, located adjacent to art galleries and has an exposed quarried stone wall (as opposed to brick which I think would be more Manhattan style) which is on par with Old Montreal itself - a blend of new and old; antiquated yet contemporary. The rooms are on the small side, but feel more homey; showers are amazing, and the bathrobes and slippers are a nice touch. I liked the feel of a small boutique hotel as opposed to a large corporate one - you feel like you actually live in/are a part of the city as opposed to a visitor. There's no gym there but you can use the one at the hotel Nelligan down the street or run or bike on the many bike paths by the water. The staff is extremely friendly, professional, and informative and will do whatever they can to help you. The breakfast in the morning is amazing - chocolate croissants, muesli, and a darn good latte. I can only think of one place in DC that makes lattes as good as the ones in Montreal. Had a great time at this hotel, would return in a heartbeat.
