Just got back from spending Victoria Day long weekend in Montreal. The Hyatt was great. Booked on Priceline at $67/night, stayed Sat and Sun night. Check-in was a breeze, the room was spotless and we had no problems with noise. The only negatives were that the pool was closed and our view was crummy.

Loved the food court on the second floor (the hotel lobby is on the 6th floor of the bldg). Lots of diverse options!

We parked in the bldg (Complex Desjardins). There is an elevator connecting the parking lot directly to the hotel lobby...very convenient. I wouldn't bother with valet parking. We arrive Sat at 5, parked til Mon at 11:30. Total charge was $16.

Lobby staff provided free maps of Montreal. It was a 10 min walk to old montreal. The area around the hotel is definitely not seedy (as some have posted). We felt safe at all times. Old montreal is filled with art galleries, shops and cute restaurants in old stone bldgs with courtyards. TONNES of dining options.

I can't believe people have posted things about poor lighting strength and having to take 2 elevators to get to the street. I guess some people will compliain about anything! For the price...its an awesome deal.

Although the location, interior decor, and service at this hotel was superb, there are two main reasons why my rating is neither excellent nor above average. My first complaint is that the pool was shutdown for repairs. This issue would not have bothered me as much if I had expected it, but since my reservations and the hotel website made no mention of their repairs, I was definitely disappointed.
My second issue with the Hyatt is their provision of wireless internet as an extra charge. Why a four star hotel would not offer this service complimentary is beyond me. There are a few 4 star alternatives within walking distance that have both a working pool and free internet, which has negatively influenced this review. Aside from these caveats, my stay was comfortable and relatively convenient. However, there are more economical and higher quality alternatives in the area.

I got this hotel on Priceline for 70$ and it was a great value for the price.

The location of this hotel is simply awesome. It is right on the main Catherine street and everything is within walking distance. The old town area is just about a 10 min walk.

The hotel is connected via underground to 2 metro lines. Also there are several buses which stop just outside the hotel . You can get a 3 day tourist pass for 17$ and travel unlimited on the metro and buses. I would recommend using public transport since parking is pretty expensive in downtown.

I took the Aerobus from the airport and it dropped me right at the doorstep of the hotel.

The room was very nice. I agree with other reviewers that it needs better lighting. The pool area was closed for maintenance . The restaurant has excellent buffets for all meals.

The hotel is attached to a mall and there is a large food court below the hotel which has a great variety . Thai, Indian, Chinese, Sushi, Greek, Burgers, Sandwiches, Mexican , Coffee, Desserts,Italian , they have it all. There is also a supermarket which can be useful.


Overall a great hotel with a superb location.

I booked the Hyatt Regency at $70USD/night (~$85CDN/night including all taxes + fees) on Priceline and it was rated a three-star hotel on the site. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel when I checked in, and the furnishings and quality of the room are definitely at four-star level. Check-in was quick and painless - I was given the choice of a king or two doubles without asking, and while the pool & sauna were out of service during my stay (which was disappointing), the remainder of the stay was quite good. For those on a budget, you do get dinged with incidentals such as local phone calls ($1/call) and internet service (WiFi access is $13/day). There was no bar fridge in the room.

Location is outstanding - you are linked directly underground to the metro and the underground complex which is especially convenient when the weather is less than ideal, and you're right on Saint Catherine when you want to get out and explore downtown.
