Hôtel Alt Montréal

This hotel is in a very good location, right by the Lachine Canal bike paths, and a reasonable walk into Old Montreal. The walk to the subway is not that far, and there is a bike share (Bixi) station right behind the hotel. Staff were always friendly and helpful, and were patient with my kids' determination to practice their French. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the A/C was both effective and built in, so no noisy machine chugging away all night - I appreciated that!

Parking was a bit expensive, but cheaper than if we were not guests at the hotel.

Immaculate, spacious room and loo. Clean and comfy bed. Early check in. Kind front desk staff. Close to eateries, td bank and convenience stores.Good hairdryer, shower and body wash. Mini-market on site.

This was the first time that during check in, I was charged the current price (2x higher) of the room instead of the price that I had booked the room for. Wifi disconnects often. Slightly distant from some tourist sites. One towel had threads coming out of it.

they should put small fridge’s in the rooms

We travelled with the cat, so we were glad to find the hotel that accepts pets. Comfortable bed, Nespresso coffee machine, iron in the room The stuff is very much friendly and helpful.

Something that could made our stay more comfortable: - the smell in our room was bad, it smelled like someone left behind stinky shoes; - the water stream in the shower was quite unstable; - lack of little fridge.

Location was exceptional! Right in the thick of downtown and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, cafés and the Bell Centre. We were visiting for a concert at the Bell Centre and walked there and back without issue. Rooms are spacious and clean.

The shower had a glass wall that was visible from the bedroom so if you’re travelling with others and want privacy that wouldn’t be ideal. Because the location is so central it was pretty loud at night.

From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I felt the great vibe of the hotel and the staff was very pleasant. The location was superb as it was across the street from a grocery store and only a 20 minute walk to St. Catherine St. I felt very safe and the room was super cozy and the bed was extremely comfortable! Shout out to Angelique who went above and beyond assisting me and her friendly smile was very much appreciated. She definitely stood out as having exemplary attention to me and my son.

I would have liked the room to have been cleaned and arranged before 2pm on Saturday. We had returned from an excursion and the room was still not cleaned. I had to call the front desk to have someone send over clean towels.

I'm pretty happy with this hotel. the location is great. The hotel is quiet. The parking needs to pay but is very easy to access. I visit here during Christmas, the front desk is so nice. They didn't charge for my coffee and drink because it was Christmas. It's not a big money, but I feel warm. I will live here again when I visit Montreal

the bed is a bit soft.

The staff were quite kind, and I slept well each night. The views from the room were pretty incredible as well. And the restaurants attached to the hotel were quite good. Overall, this was a pretty decent stay in a well-located hotel.

The room was a little dusty and could have been cleaner upon arrival. A small refrigerator might have also been nice. At one point, an alarm clock in a neighboring room went off loudly for almost an hour, and I had to contact the front desk to have it silenced.

We totally enjoyed our stay a Hotel Alt! This is a great location in Griffintown and very easy to access the downtown and Old Montreal areas, as well as the Bonaventure highway (so quick and easy to get in and out of the city from this location). The front desk person was delightful and extremely helpful. We arrived early, simply intending to drop our luggage, but he put us right into our room (how easy was that!?!). The room was extremely clean and, while not super large, modern and conveniently appointed. While the bathroom was very clean and the water very hot (great water pressure), we all agreed the bathroom door was the weak point in the hotel. The door was saloon-style, but did not allow for any real privacy (not an issue for us, but some might find it off-putting). Also, small aside, the toilet was quite high and somewhat uncomfortable. Overall, these were very small issues that did not at all detract from a really delightful stay. The room also had great AC and was extremely quiet, AND the bed, while only a queen size, was EXTREMELY comfy and we slept really well! The morning front desk staff recommended a great place for brunch which was in the same building , and they were nice enough to keep our bags at the desk while we ate. They also had a real coffee bar with specialty coffees available (cappuccino, espresso, etc…). They even had some croissants available for purchase, as well as snacks, beverages. BONUS: they offer a great 24 hour come-and-go parking deal so you can take your car out without extra charges, which is directly below the hotel (just a short elevator ride). We will definitely stay hear again, especially at this price, whenever we need an overnight in Montreal.

Not to repeat but the lack of privacy in the bathroom might be an issue for some people (there was a glass wall that connected the shower to the bedroom as well as that saloon-style door). So, if you get up at night to use the bathroom and need to put on the light, it lights up the entire bedroom! Overall, that was our only criticism. Great value for the money!!

The Alt is our number 1 choice of place to stay when in Montreal. The staff is always efficient and friendly, and the rooms are super clean. Although Griffintown has grown quite a bit since the first time we came in 2016 or so, the area is still pretty quiet and safe at night. It’s also close to various restaurants and stores of varying budgets, so that’s great too. I was so pleased to see that our room had a mini-fridge!

The gym still really needs a set of 20lb dumbbells.
