“Do yourself a favour - stay at Hotel Kutuma”

Hotel Kutuma

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Hotel Kutuma in December and have to say that I was blown away.

Location: It is wonderfully located on St Denis, which as others have said, include great restaurants and some shops/bars. It is a 5 minute walk (even shorter when it's not snowing) to Sherbrooke Metro station. It has a convenience store about 2 stores down, which sells your basics, including alcohol and phone cards if you need to call long distance. Local calls at the Hotel Kutuma are free.

Service: From check in to check out, the service was just overwhelming. This small hotel puts the larger chains to shame. I arrived by taxi on the opposite side of the road. It was snowing heavily, but the hotel staff ran across the road (past the mounds of snow) to get my suitcase. They offered me a coffee straight away, and the check in process was over in 5 minutes. They had upgraded me as well, which was a nice surprise (Room 203 I got in the end).

Room: Well what can I say, it was superb. The room had light dimmers, which was on when I went into the room. They had also put on some jazz music before I arrived, which was a great touch. The African theme worked very well, and everything was tastefully decorated. ALL ROOMS have been recently renovated to include high tech showers (though water pressure was a bit of a problem), so you don't have to worry about it not having a shower - believe me, you want to see this shower! Flat screen tv, awesome bed, comfy couch, well equipped kitchenette, and cable tv are just a few of the benefits.

Amenities: All the usual bathroom products, plus free wi-fi. What more could you ask for?

Restaurant: It was quite simply the BEST food I have had for a long time. I have never had Ethiopian food before but seriously, you need to try it.

Conclusion: The only bad thing I'll say about it is that it doesn't have a lift (which isn't a problem because they carry your suitcase up for you), and the water pressure was a bit low. But for the price (amazing value), location and general ambiance, you CANNOT GO WRONG.

“Fantastic Hotel”

Hotel Kutuma

5 of 5 stars
Edmonton

2/3 found this review helpful

The Kutuma hotel was everything it was said to be. A lovely place and the service was fantastic. All the people at the hotel went the extra mile to make our stay special. We were in Montreal to attend the President's Cup. The Hotel is located in a super spot with tons of restaurants. The Blue Nile restaurant in the hotel is really good and was one of the best meals of our trip.

Some reviews complained about the lack of shower but our room had a bath and shower.

I would certainly stay in this hotel again if I were to go back to Montreal. It was spotless and actually looks like the photos on the website. The friendly atmosphere and willingess to help of all the staff was appreciated!

“Pefect hotel in an amazing location”

Hotel Kutuma

Oct 29, 2007
3/4 found this review helpful

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a large suite, which was the nicest room I have ever stayed in. Comfortable bed, relaxing tub and tons of space. We had to
remind ourselves to leave the room and experience the city. The Metro
station was only 1 1/2 blocks away and St-Denis had lots of great restaurants and stores, plus we were a stones throw away from St-Louis Square and the pedestrian walkway that leads to St-Laurent. I can't wait to go back.

“Loved Hotel Kutuma!!!”

Hotel Kutuma

Oct 25, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I loved this place we stayed for 4 days in the second week of September. The room was great, the hotel owners/staff were amazing, and it's a great location. The room was large and clean and the bathroom was roomy and spotless.

The food in the restaurant was outstanding and we received a delicious complimentary dessert after our dinner.

I would highly reccommend this place to anyone going to montreal looking to truly experience the city off the tourist track.

The only "snag" we had were some loud rude guests in the next room for 2 nights-totally not the hotel's fault and it didn't ruin our stay at all.

“Top of our list!”

Hotel Kutuma

5 of 5 stars
San Francisco
Oct 12, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

This hotel is at the top of our list. We don't like chain hotels or frilly bed and breakfasts and there are few good choices that don't fall into those categories...Kutuma stands on its own.

We had similar experiences as the other reviewers. The hotel is family-owned and they were so nice to us. We had bikes with us and Abbi insisted on taking our bikes into the basement every night, after their restaurant closed. When we ate at the restaurant, he gave us free desserts. Overall, we just felt so comfortable there.

The room was perfect and so relaxing. Great kitchen, and side door that opens for fresh air...We always felt great coming back to it after a full day out. Just ignore the reviewer who gave the hotel only 3 points, everyone loves this place!

We stayed in Old Montreal for the 2nd part of our visit, but I prefer Kutuma's location. Old Montreal is too touristy.

Staying here will make you feel like you are not your average tourist.
