What a gorgeous hotel!
I'll admit it, I usually skimp when it comes to hotel accommodations while on vacation. My thinking that if I am on vaycay, I am going to spend the least amount of time possible up in my room. I don't know if I could go back to that frame of thought though after staying at such an upscale hotel.
Le St-Martin is beautiful on the inside and out. The crackling fireplace was always going, warming up the luxurious lobby where leather couches welcomed you to take a load off from a day of pounding the pavement. Chandeliers and a spiral staircase add touches of elegance ti this 5 star hotel.
The staff was always friendly and willing to help give directions or recommendations. Each member being professional and affable our entire stay.
The rooms were glorious! The decor was sophisticated and cozy, and the beds were decked out with the plushy, warm down comforters and pillows that made nap time an everyday must. Even the basic room had a huge whirlpool tub and double sinks, perfect for two girls! The room had a Keurig coffee maker, but lacked any creme or sugar. However, if you happen to be in your room later in the afternoon, someone will come knocking on your door to offer you tea or coffee and you can always request the proper accouterments from reception if need be.
Free wifi is a great added plus, as is the close proximity to the Metro Station (Peel or McGill). Le St-Martin Hotel is right in the heart of activity, close to shopping and downtown and great bars and restaurants.
The gym is small, only one tredmill, one eliptical and one bike.. but heck, who wants to work out on vacation anyway?! The pool is also very small, as is the space, so if you are looking for a summertime hotel where a hit or miss is the availability to lounge by a pool, this might not be your spot.
Late checkout is an added fee, but they are willing to hold your bags for you at no cost if you have time left to explore the city before departing.
Highly recommended for couples looking for a romantic spot, friends on the get-away or a business traveler. I'd say not the best family spot or hotel for kids.Listed in: A weekend in Montreal!

5 star all the way, clean, attentive staff, price equal to the service recieved, proximity to everything, and a mint on your pillow.
Seriously stay here if you want to be pampered. -

I'm writing my review as I'm spending my last night of 6 nights at this hotel. My favorite thing about this hotel is its location. It's about a block away from the nearest metro stop (Peel), although you probably don't need to take the subway to get to most attractions if you don't mind a bit of walking. It's about 5 blocks away from one of the main entrances into Parc du Mont Royal (at Rue Peel and Avenue des Pins Ouest), and it's a must visit on a nice day!
Oh heck, that's not my only favorite thing about the hotel. I love their daily complimentary coffee and bottled water refills - two things I need daily, their super firm yet fluffy pillows, and their workstation with desk top outlet (so you don't have to crawl under to plug/unplug. The big shower head makes me want to take 4 showers a day. Standard room comes with a sizable shower stall, no bathtub, in case you're into that stuff...
Some reviews on Tripadvisor complained about the wifi. Let me just affirm that I haven't had any wifi connectivity issues during my entire stay here. Wifi is consistent and relatively fast. It resets every 24hrs so you just need to reenter your room info to restart the cycle.
The gym is on the 4th floor right by my room, which I never used. I took a peek and thought it was pretty small, but I really didn't have the need to run like a hamster on my vacay when I'm walking everywhere.
The room service from the restaurant downstairs (L'Aromate) is prompt (but pricey as expected)! It took them 10-15min to deliver my food, and they were pretty tasty.
My only gripe is the full size mirror. Mine has the fattening effect, or maybe I'm just in denial about my food consumption in Montreal. If that's the case, leave me alone.
Thanks Jetsetter for the great deal! -

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. It was super cool and modern without feeling too trendy. We also took advantage of the deal through http://hotels.com and we're so glad we chose this place!
From our fourth floor fireplace suite, we could see the Peel Metro stop across the street. That was really convenient. It's also right around the corner from Rue St Catherine- a busy shopping area (which has one of my personal faves- LUSH!) complete with restaurants. We were able to walk to breakfast every morning as well as the Musee des Beaux-Arts. Since it's downtown, it's not quite as a traditional tourist location as Old Montreal, but all that is accessible via the Metro or a cab ride.
The room itself was really comfy. The bed was cozy and soft and the bathroom was big with a tub to die for. There was a "wall" of sliding wooden slats that separated the bathroom from the rest of the room so you could open that up if you wanted. I made sure to visit LUSH and pick up some fun bath products and took advantage of that tub!
The staff was very helpful- one of the valets even escorted us down to our car to retrieve some things even though you could tell he didn't want to. Then he disappeared before we could tip him!
We didn't end up eating at the hotel restaurant. It looked way overpriced.
We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Montreal (which I hope is sooner rather than later!). -

I am smitten with this hotel! It takes me around a hundred hours of browsing hotel reviews and making sure the one I choose is priced well, clean, safe, and quiet - before I click purchase.
The reviews for Le St. Martin were consistently strong throughout every review and travel site, and now I know for myself, exactly why.
First off, I got a fantastic deal through http://hotels.com, and used a coupon code from retailmenot for an additional 10% off.
Second, this hotel is in an excellent location if you are visiting Montreal and want to see all of the main attractions. If not within decent walking distance, you can hop on the Peel Station metro (which is literally, a skip away.. One block down, but the block is SMALL and extremely safe), and it gives you the green line which takes you to other stations if you need to get on the Orange line.. and that is only a few metro stops itself) - or take the bus from the corner of Maisonneuve and McGill. Rue McGill is a block down.
From the airport, you can the 747 bus that drops you off a couple of blocks south of Maisonneuve, on the corner of Rene Levesque and Peel. It's the same way back to the airport. You can purchase a daily metro card from the airport for $7 (or was it $8?), and you're good for 24 hours from the moment you scan it on the bus. I ended up buying a 3 day pass later on, but that's another story. Anyway, it's about a 25 min or so ride to/from the airport, and both times I was around rush hour.
When you arrive in the hotel lobby, you're greeted by very welcoming bell hops and reception desk. It's a small lobby, but very pristine, and there's a fireplace to the corner - and the bar/bistro behind. I had no issues checking in. I like that your room card/key is also what allows you to click on your floor level whilst on the elevator. For example, if you are on the 10th floor, you swipe your key/card and then the "10" will activate if you click it. No other floor will. An excellent addition to safety.
I had paid in full prior to arriving, so it was a simple few moments and I was off to my room. The hallways have speakers/music which is quite nice during the day, but it's on 24 hours. I'd suggest they turn it off between 11pm and 6am, because it can slightly be heard in the room, especially if it's a song with strong instrumentals! :) I'm a light sleeper, so this probably wouldn't concern others much.
You walk into the room, and greeted with a decent amount of walking space, an immaculately clean and modern bathroom (granite countertop, a wood vanity with open shelving underneath, a large shower, and overall a very spacious bathroom). The shower has wooden blinds on the other side of the glass, leading towards the bedroom itself, and they can be shut for privacy if need be. I was on my own and so there was not any matter over that. They provide you with lots of fresh towels, and also a bath robe and bath slippers in the closet! The toiletries they provide are from Italy. I did not ever hear of the brand, but the bar soaps smell nice. The rest are a tad strong/masculine.
The bedroom itself is spacious, and I had a nice view of Maisonneuve, although I was high up (which I wanted). My room was with one king bed and perfectly wide and comfortable. The only issue for me was that something in the room or from the springs in the bed, made a light clicking noise all night. Actually the other issue was that the bed was not 100% comfortable. Don't get me wrong, it's a new and clean bed, but not the best sleep I've had in a hotel. The pillows are abundant, and I believe they could be down-filled, as they sounded a bit crunchy. You get four pillows with the King, two standard and two long ones. Again, not the most comfy, but that's just my own preference, because the quality seemed great.
The room also has a work desk and chair, and it's extremely convenient that the outlet for the power cord, and everything else, is in a compartment *on* the desk, rather than under the desk against the wall.
They leave you with two complimentary water bottles on your bedside table. The wine and everything else in plain view, has a fee. The TV is an LCD, although I probably only turned it on once for the weather.
For those who may want this information: There is a floor to length mirror, a closet with hangers, iron/board, hairdryer, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shower cap, Keurig coffee machine and coffee, bath robe, slippers, towels galore, great pressure showerhead (stand up shower, not a bathtub in this room), black-out curtains, water, and oh.. FREE WIFI! That is always a plus, as not all hotels will offer this. It's also very easy to connect to. It requires two pieces of simple information and you're logged in for 24 hours and just need to re-login each day of your stay.
Service: You won't find better! Daily housekeeping and meticulously clean. Staying here again, for sure! -

Since I'm a pro in online shopping, I found an awesome HauteLook deal for the weekend.. This hotel is beautiful. The inlaws upgraded and got a sweet room, ours was small but no complaints. The location is very central, close to shopping and great restaurants. Free wifi is always a plus..
They lose 1 star for the not so pleasant guy at the front desk.. Aside from that, my experience was top notch. -

We got a voucher from a group coupon type business, and we loved our stay here.
The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We loved our room. The big bath tub with the mini tv was a bonus. The rooms only issue was the temperature. Too hot then too cold. The staff made many restaurant suggestions for dinner and even booked us at a great Portuguese one. The included valet parking was also very convenient. We will be staying here again. -

Thank you, http://Hotels.com for placing this hotel within our search terms. The room was very well-appointed (very comfortable furnishings, fireplace, great decor, large bathroom), the staff was incredibly professional, music greets you in the lobby, elevators, and hallways, and the location is ideal. It's easy to drive to, a block from the Peel Metro stop on the green line, and close to several wonderful brunch spots, stores, museums, and the Bell Centre. If ever in Montreal again, I'd definitely choose to stay here.

This hotel is new--since June 2010--and they are doing so many things right! First, it is well positioned in downtown Montreal with the underground and many fine restaurants and cafes nearby on Rue Pell or Rue St. Catherine. I speak no French, but the staff immediately switched to perfect English and sought to make my stay absolutely trouble free and comfortable. They made restaurant recommendations, provide travel advice, even printed my airline boarding passes for me. So kudos for great service. The room was spacious and lovely--I had 2 queens in an uncrowded room which was stylishly decorated. But the BEST thing about the room was the shower. There were 2 rainshower heads--one hand held--and HOT water. A hot shower is exactly what I needed after each day of hard work and the shower was invigorating! The restaurant food was pretty good too! A nice plus was the gorgeous chocolates that I was greeted with at the end of my work day--not laid out on a pillow, but offered on a platter as you walked into the lobby. Plus free wi-fi. Found this gem on http://hotels.com with a great deal--listed as a 4 star hotel at $165/night. This is the real deal. I'd love to stay here again!
