This is the worst hotel we have EVER stayed at. I don't know who decided to give them three stars but they don't deserve even 1/2 a star. The electricity went out twice in our room, the lady at the front desk pretended like she don't speak English, they can't give you an extra pillow. Our room was directly above the ballroom, and there were loud death music playing till 3AM on a Wednesday night, and the hotel refused to switch us to another room. I guess there is no such thing as service to any English speaking tourists at the Gouverneur Hotel. Do yourself a favor and do not stay at this hotel, I hope they go out of business soon! They're so rude I think I'll avoid going to Montreal period in the future!

I stayed at the Gouverneur a few weeks back and, as always, was impressed at the quality you get for what you pay. I paid roughly in the 130$ area and received an overall experience that beats the nearby Hyatt Regency, my old montreal favorite. Better quality at the Gouverneur and better service. Also the price is MUCH lower than the Hyatt (usually 180-190$ level).

The location is amazing, you're downtown and you can get a cab to go anywhere without any wait whatsoever.

Also the rooms were very very clean which makes me want to come back.

Breakfast is good, coffee great

I always have a wonderful stay the Gouverneur. Everyone is so nice and the hotel is very clean. Good management and very helpful employees make each stay memorable. Also, the rates are amazing for what you get (high quality 4-star hotel priced like a comfort inn in the US).

Be sure to pay the extra 20$US to get the superior room, its worth it.

I've stayed at this hotel several times, and I highly recommend it. I paid about $129/night back in 06, and it's worth every penny. The rooms are clean, large and quiet. HOWEVER, if you get a smoking room, I would like to warn you that you might have problems. I smoke, and the smoking rooms absolutely reek of old ashtray aroma, almost as if they don't clean it after the last guest, though I doubt that is true. It is like a punishment for being a smoker. So, I advise you to get a non smoking room, and take it outside when you want one. You didn't go to Montreal to hang out in a hotel room anyway, right?

The location is perfect. Again, it is ideal for gay men, the village is a short walk. Shopping and restaurants are convenient too. You can pop onto the metro right at Berri/UQAM, its only a short walk away.

Lastly, the staff is pleasant and polite. Skip the restaurant in the hotel itself. They give you a certificate for continental breakfast. You should have 'un petit dejeuner' at one of the many awesome establishments (Cora, Le Jardin) the city has to offer.
