We stayed at the XIXe Siecle for 4 nights and could not fault it....I'm surprised it doesn't rate more highly on tripadvisor! The hotel is in a great location in old montreal, and is easy walking distance from downtown and the Place D'Armes metro station.

Our room was large with high ceilings, very clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was great - croissants, cake and muffins, bread, fresh fruit salad, juice, cheese.

Also the staff we met at breakfast and on the front desk were all very polite and helpful.

We stayed at the Sofitel on the last night of our holiday, and we actually preferred the XIXe Siecle...We would definitely stay here again.

We were searching for a place to stay, having never been to Montreal before. After reading several reviews we opted for this hotel and contacted them directly for a booking. At this time they beat the expedia rate and offered us a 10% CAA discount. That took our room rate to $117/night for Thurs - Sun.
The hotel is a converted bank and is located in central Old Montreal. There is a metro stop within a couple blocks, which easily gets you some prime shopping and restaurant areas. The staff were very helpful, recommending great restaurants and providing directions.
The rooms are not large, but the very high ceilings make the rooms feel roomy. And, the lobby bar has 2 for 1 drinks every evening.
We would stay here again.

I am a frequent business traveller and have stayed at many hotels in Montreal. This hotel is a tremendous value. Very European feel to match the location near the old city.

Room was large and clean but the furnishings did not seem to match the grandeur of the room (high ceilings).

Bathroom was adequate with very nice toileteries

Service was excellent whenever requested.


Bar is nice for a quick drink before going out for diner.

Valet parket is convenient and very cheap.


Will definetly return

We stayed at this Hotel from Oct. 4-6, 2007. We had reserved probably the least expensive class of room, which was very nice. The mattress was great. The towels were great - the softest I've felt in a long time. Upon arrival, the bellman immediatly helped us unload , including arranging for storage of our bikes, and parking of our car. The staff and bellman provided us all of the immediate information we needed to get to Bank and maps for sightseeing and for bike riding, restaurants, and were generally just very nice to talk with. Large Continential breakfast was included and was very good in my opinion, and wait staff were very accomodating and pleasant. I liked the hotel very much, and would recommend it.
