Right in the middle of Montreal downtown, a few blocks away from the Old Town, Art center, conference center, and Chinatown. Very clean, nice interior design, inexpensive. Free computer and internet in every room!
Okay free continental breakfast.
The room is nice but not quite spacious, which I guess is okay for a downtown hotel.
Parking is $17, but you can find cheaper parking closeby. Meters are very expensive, $3 an hour, but public parking is $10 a day.

Decided to try out this somewhat unknown hotel and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like it is pretty new as the rooms, decor, building are all in good shape.

The area is right downtown and from the outside the hotel doesn't look like much. Its a smaller hotel with nine floors and about 10 rooms per floor maybe.

The room was designed with a modern IKEA-like style. Not a big room, but well kept and well equipped. I was surprised to see they offered a new Dell Dimension PC, keyboard and LCD as part of the standard package, along with hi-speed internet. LCD TV, mini-fridge, safe, cordless phone, alarm clock were nice features. The bathroom was modern as well with Grohe hardware in the sink and shower, which was a funky glass enclosure.

I must say the mattress and linens were just okay.. ive had softer more luxurious hotel beds for sure.

The staff was friendly and flexible and let me have a 2pm checkout which was perfect to take a noon conference call from my room.

Continental breakfast is also offered and parking is underground... but only 12 spots or so available.

You had to use your passkey in the elevators, parking garage, etc. and I saw they had videocameras all around too for security reasons.

I thought it was pretty good value for the location and would stay there again.

Can't recommend this hotel highly enough, for the huge room and the facilities. Don't be put off by the gloomy reception area and rather neutral receptionists. This is a very new hotel, and the usual modern facilities (iron and board, hair dryer, kettle, coffee, tea) are exceeded by an in-room programmable safe, plasma TV and your own computer. This last was an absolute boon. Complimentary newspapers left outside your room, and self-serve breakfast in the breakfast room offers a wide choice of options. Exercise room equipped with three machines. Good location, between 2 Metro stations and in walking distance of Chinatown and central shopping district. I stayed in 5 hotels in Canada, and this was by far the most luxurious and the best.

Le Dauphin is a clean, newer, modern hotel in a prime location. If you are having a convention, you couldn't pick a better place because it is just steps away from the Convention Center. My family and I walked to Vieux Port, Rue Ste.-Catherine, and Chinatown in minutes. The bed was soft with white linens, possibly it was a down comforter. There was a nice LCD television and small flat screen computer with internet access. The bathroom shower was chic with its stone tiling and glass wall. Having only stayed one night, I found it quiet for that night and did not have any loud neighbors. There was no swimming pool but our room had a view of the adjacent condo's rooftop pool. Too bad! Parking was a small journey since we had to park in the convention center garage, but it wasn't a big deal. The continental breakfast was really good, especially the muffins and bagels. Stay here for convenience, cleanliness, good value, and comfort.
