There is a cozy parlor to hang out and a lovely deck. They had a masseuse available who offered massage in a quiet, peaceful room upstairs which was a lovely and relaxing treat. We had several interesting conversations w/ the hosts about life in Montreal and the history of tensions between francophone people and their anglophone counterparts. It's w/in a few block walk of a Metro station, making it easy to get around if you don't have a car.

And thanks for The "Sweet Deals" Package that Tourisme Montreal put together with numerous Hotels, Restaurants, Attractions and Shops, gave me an opportunity to take advantage of specials and enjoys Montreal's winter. The website is really well designed too and with tons of informations of activities and festivities in Montreal... I might tempt to go back again if other good packages comes up!!

If you can find it buried amongst the surprisingly quiet confines of the Dominion Square Building in downtown Montréal, the Centre Infotouriste de Montréal is an awesome way to plan a trip. This place isn't just for tourists. Visitors and Québécois alike will find plenty of brochures for places to go throughout Québec. The centre is definitely living up to its current theme is Québec Original (unsurprisingly translated to "Original Québec"): Maps and brochures for towns and regions throughout the Province; activity-specific locales (e.g., skiing), and kid-friendly trips. We came here as it is the pickup spot for what was an excellent Québec City and Montmorency Falls day tour. It's also the hub for several Montréal city tours (Gray Line of Montréal, Coach Canada, Double Decker, etc.). While awaiting our bus, Centre Infotouriste de Montréal gives you plenty to check out. Also: if you want to do a day trip or city tour and you haven't signed up for one, their staff can help you out! The staff can help out on almost any Québec-related travel you may want to do. The place itself is dynamic ... great artwork, murals, and displays. There's free WiFi, tablet, and computer access, which are always welcome. And lest we forget, Centre Infotouriste de Montréal serves, in part, as a gift shop ... and it's hard to do better than what I'm guessing is the biggest tourist info center in all of Québec! Whether staying exclusively in Montréal or venturing throughout Québec, I can't think of a better place to start than here! MY BAD FRENCH TRANSLATION OF THE REVIEW: Oh, ces fous de Québécois dans l'industrie du tourisme et des voyages ... donner un coup de pouce aux Français pour rendre difficile la recherche de choses, surtout pour les anglophones! Le Centre Infotouriste de Montréal est l'une des oasis de ce lieu - si vous pouvez le trouver enfoui parmi les recoins étonnamment calmes de l'immeuble Dominion Square, au centre-ville de Montréal -. Une fois que vous le trouvez, cependant, vous êtes dedans pour un festin. Cet endroit n'est pas seulement pour les touristes. Les visiteurs et les Québécois trouveront de nombreuses brochures sur les endroits à visiter partout au Québec. Le centre est à la hauteur de son thème actuel: Québec Original (sans surprise, traduit par "Original Québec"): cartes et brochures pour les villes et les régions de la province; lieux spécifiques à une activité (par exemple, le ski) et des voyages adaptés aux enfants. Nous sommes venus ici car c'est le point de départ pour ce qui a été une excellente excursion d'une journée à Québec et à la chute Montmorency. C'est également la plaque tournante de plusieurs visites de la ville de Montréal (Ligne grise de Montréal, Coach Canada, Double Decker, etc.). En attendant notre autobus, le Centre Infotouriste de Montréal vous offre de nombreuses possibilités de départ. De plus, si vous souhaitez faire une excursion d'une journée ou une visite de la ville et que vous ne vous êtes pas inscrit, son personnel peut vous aider! Le personnel peut vous aider pour presque tous les voyages liés au Québec que vous voudrez peut-être faire. Le lieu lui-même est dynamique ... superbes œuvres d'art, peintures murales et expositions. Il y a un accès WiFi gratuit, une tablette et un ordinateur, qui sont toujours les bienvenus. Et n'oublions pas que le Centre Infotouriste de Montréal sert en partie de boutique de souvenirs ... et il est difficile de faire mieux que ce que je suppose, c'est le plus grand centre d'information touristique au Québec! Que vous séjourniez exclusivement à Montréal ou que vous vous aventuriez partout au Québec, je ne peux penser à un meilleur endroit pour commencer qu'ici!

The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals every day, which saved tons of money (restaurants in Montreal are expensive). The best part of the apartment is the gorgeous deck, where we spent every evening enjoying dinner, wine, and relaxing. The apartment is about a 10-15 minute walk to Marche Jean-Talon, which is the first thing we did in Montreal-- stocked up on tons of fresh fruits, veggies, local meats and eggs and bread. The apartment is only 5 minutes walk to the Beaubien Metro (subway), which we used almost every day to explore the sights of Montreal. The subway is clean and extremely efficient, and cost-effective if you buy an Opus card. Alain was a nice host (he and his wife live downstairs), and although we didn't need anything, he made sure we knew we could always knock on his door if we did. The rental process itself was easy, and he immediately refunded to us our security deposit after we checked out. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we can't wait to go back!

There's no reception desk and you check in to the hotel and your room with a code that's emailed to you. There's a lobby with coffee and on Sundays, some pastries, and laundry machines in the hallways. The rooms themselves are like mini apartments. There's small kitchenettes and nice bathrooms with rainfall showers. TVs come equipped with AppleTV's and there's reliable and fast Wifi. Walls are a bit thin though. My next door neighbours were binge watching The Office which I was reminded of every time the opening played. It's a 5 minute stumble home from 3AM La Banquise poutine and next door to a fancy meal at Au Pied du Cochon. It's 5 minutes from the Sherbrooke subway station and next to the beautiful Parc Lafontaine. It's a great location in the Plateau and out of the really touristy areas. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. While there wasn't a check in counter, it didn't feel impersonal at all.

We did like the location, feel and actual apartment we stayed in at Le Qube, and we did book…read morethrough AirBnB. However, I feel for the price, you could do better-- and I wish they were more communicative about the problems that they had encountered to prep the guests for their visit. I did write a review through Airbnb, and I will relay the content through there, as well as add pictures to describe what happened. Per my Airbnb review: "The location is wonderful, apartment is a good crash pad... However, the A/C was not working as advertised, and they were aware of the issue beforehand due to a fire. Since A/C was essential during a hot summer, they were nice enough to bring a fan, however, they DID know about the issue beforehand and they could have warned us so we could have made alternate arrangements, or they could have offered more for the inconvenience. They had limited amenities-- no hand soap, for instance, though there was dish washing soap, and shower gel. While they were nice, and somewhat timely, it was difficult to reach them if it was urgent (my calls usually went to voicemail.) Some doors were not working (entrance) or they were hard to open. They should be able to keep their properties updated better, as well as updating their potential guests about issues that may arise. While the location was great, given the inconvenience, I would hesitate in rebooking unless they were extremely specific about updates re: amenities." So let me update with what happened: We booked this apartment due to the location, and the amenities. Due to medical conditions, I tend to run unreasonably hot and therefore, I usually book places that have air conditioning. We booked it, given that the apartment looked nice and featured air conditioning. As soon as we stepped into the unit, there was no "welcome booklet" provided from the company (we had to look downstairs in the lobby for their quick check in sheet), as well as the A/C unit itself was not working. We quickly told them this, and they were nice enough to send a maintenance man over the next day. The maintenance man came over and then told us he did not know how to fix it, after trying a couple solutions. After letting them know about the result, they went out of their way to message us, telling us that the problem was connected to something that they knew about beforehand. Yes, I understand a fire is out of your control, but this is your property. If you knew it would affect the units, why wouldn't you remedy this by providing this information to guests that you are renting the units out to, or offering to place them in a different location? I don't think that's unreasonable, and most places providing service of that caliber would think of solutions. They did provide us with a fan, which I noted in my original review-- was great on them. However, it wasn't enough to provide us with a comfortable sleep. I find it funny that they kept citing outside temperatures and that we should be able to sleep comfortably. Unfortunately, even with the windows open, apartments can be well isolated and since there is no wind, it can still cause apartments to be hot. With the fan on, while they cited 18 C temperatures, it was, in fact (due to their wall units and the temperatures we had seen) actually 24 - 26 C consistently in the apartment. None of the support people were even on property as this is a self-serviced apartment, so I believe they are just trying to save face. After reading their airbnb review (saying I was "unfair and trying to demand more money even though so and so") I would never stay here again. Despite their paltry refund of 10% and a complimentary night stay-- why would I stay at a place that knew about the problems, and then didn't try to remedy them beforehand? And then, additionally, why would I stay after they wrote me a bad review with false information? This would have been a 2-3 star review due to excellent location and cleanliness. But their service is severely lacking. You could do better.

Daniel even took the time to guide us through the machinery at the Metro station so we could buy our fare tickets to go on to a museum in the new city when our time with him was sadly over. I can't recommend Daniel highly enough and Guidatour for its wonderful service.

My kid's ears were partially covered. You don't need it anyway so no biggie. Also, it's a little, ok a LOT loud, the motor makes a lot of noise! Also there is not much of a canopy so you're in full sun on a hot day. Still fun for $2 ($4 round trip) Just google Parc Saint-Louis to find it.
