I stayed here May 30-June 2nd while in town on business, the business of tasting beer at the "Mondiale de Biere Festival" (but that' review is for another website).

This well-maintained hotel is located directly off the Latin Quarter and very close to the Berri-UQAM Metro Station (Look for the sign "Sortie rue St-Denis") and the Central Bus Station, a stop for the Airport Shuttle - very convenient for me.

A problem-free check-in (you can leave your bags until the room is ready) led to a nice room, big enough for anyone planning to spend their time visiting the city, though plainly furnished, a criteria never important to me. A whiff of fresh paint indicated recent renovation. Note: this renovation did not include the bathroom plumbing; let the shower run for a few minutes before stepping in, or .......... brrrrrrr!

Next door to the left is Kilo, a bistro with a wild, wild entryway you will want to photograph while to the right is Pacini, an attractive restaurant where guests belly up to a complimentary breakfast, which includes the Bread Bar.

I recommend Hotel St-Denis to anyone seeking convenience and comfort. All in all, a wonderful place when in Montreal; the money you save can be used to savor a few pints ("pinte" here) of some delicious Quebec beer - Boreale Rousse for example.

I would suggest this hotel if you are looking for one that is economical and in a convenient location. This is not a 4 or 5 star hotel, but it is clean, safe, & fairly priced.

I found the location to be good in terms of its proximity to the subway- about a block away & on the same street. There was a restaurant next door which was good and a mini market a few doors down. There were MANY restaurants and shops within walking distance. Parking was just around the corner @ only $12 a day through the hotel.

The staff at the hotel were VERY helpful. They printed out maps & directions upon request & also promptly answered other requests.

I was here on business/pleasure and stayed here for 6 nights and was overall very happy with the hotel. If you are like me and when you travel all a hotel is to you is a place to sleep and shower, then you can't do much better that this for the price. Rooms were clean and the staff was helpful and the location is excellent as far as access to subway and downtown areas. One thing to be aware of is that there are some seedy areas around (sex shops), but they are not visable from the hotel, or on the same street as the hotel. On the other hand, since the hotel is close to the university and areas with lots of night life, there are lots of late night eats open which is something I like. I checked in after midnight on the day I arrived and had no problem finding a place to eat after traveling all day.

Another thing to be aware of is if you have a room on the street and like to sleep in, then it can get noisy. I found this out my first night and requested another room and they moved me to a room in the back which was much quieter. The elevators were down some of the time I was there, but I always use the stairs anyway, so this was no issue to me (I was on 5th floor out of 6). The rooms did not have air conditioning, so that might be an issue in the summer, but I was very comfortable.

I enjoyed the location, it is close to everything and once you start to walk about 2 miles out you end up in the middle of the city. The hotel, has two great restrurants next to it and they are great. The services is great, however, the building is old and the carpet was old looking and the rooms are small. The beds where not that good but the services was impeccable.

I took my son with me and it was a bit uncomfortable for us. However, two adults this is great. If you care a lot about the bed you may want to look at other places. Because my back hurted during my stay. However everything else was great. They are very clean and nice and everyone is smiling. I enjoyed the service and they made me feel comfortable.

If you are vacationing with children you should really consider the hotel and the little extras they can be priceless. However, this hotel let me get in the city and also the local area and kind of better understand the life of the people there. It is not in the high tourist area but very close to it. So you get to see a lot. I think this place is great. i would return if I am on a budget beucase now I know what to except. But, if I am to get better I will.
