To me, the purpose of staying at B&Bs is to get a great home-cooked breakfast and get first hand local information from the owners. Neither of these happened here. The owner was not on the premises most of the time and our only interaction with her was checking in and out. There was also no breakfast served at the "B&B". We got breakfast coupons for a place several blocks down the street in the only shady part of town we saw of Montreal when we were there. The food was fine but commuting to have breakfast and then watch drug deals go down outside (literally! I'm not exaggerating!) while we were having breakfast was not the B&B experience we were looking for. To top it off, the room was only cleaned twice the week we were there, and one of the times the floor was not cleaned at all. This gets pretty gross when you walk around on bare feet.

We had a wonderful time at this apartment hotel. Our two bedroom apartment was tastefully…read moredecorated, very clean, and fully appointed for a short term or long term stay. It almost seemed too nice for only two nights in Montreal. Beds were extremely comfortable and the sheets were like 1 million count! The staff was very nice and informative, our check in person-Christina did a fabulous job and was very informative about the area. The only "watch out" is that there is a cleaning fee at the end which may not be detailed well in the listing rates-it wasn't expensive but can be a surprise for some.

My husband and I were forced to postpone our stay at ApartHotelMontreal due to a flight cancellation on Air Canada. We attempted to contact ApartHotelMontreal multiple times to notify them of the situation and struggled for days to reach someone in their offices. When they finally responded, the manager agreed to provide a hotel credit if we cancelled the reservation on Expedia. We contacted Expedia as instructed, and the Expedia representative informed us that ApartHotelMontreal would need to cancel our reservation independently. When we tried to resume contact with the ApartHotelMontreal staff, they were unresponsive. After many phone calls and emails, we finally received a response regarding a credit. They retracted their offer. Highly unprofessional and a deeply unsatisfactory experience.

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.

So I guess I should put in a word for this place... I have been going to Montreal for quite a…read morenumber of years. I used to stay closer to the city, but prefer this place. It is on route 15 southbound and I like that it is really easy to get into and out. But you do have to drive into Montreal if you want to go for the night life and whatever else. But on the plus side, the price is very reasonable and the savings on the room I guess you can apply towards parking. But a word of warning, the meters in Montreal go till nine PM. And you have to pay on Sunday! Its your basic motel. The last time I went, there was a crew from Toronto that came to drink and party. Because Quebec has a younger drinking age, people come from the States and the other provinces to party.

As adequate and pleasant as the multi-might stay was, some things must be mentioned which should be improved and prevented regardless of whether we will ever return: - There was no "do not disturb" sign available, so room service did basic housekeeping every day we were there, which we generally do not want. To make matters worse, they must have tossed our entire snack box of recently bought cookies, chips, and cups because they were there one morning and nowhere to be found that same evening upon our return. - The bulb on one side of the headboard burnt out, so we removed the bulb and asked front desk for replacement, but at the time of checkout 5 days later, it still had not been addressed. - The A/C was ancient and hard to work with for optimal, comfortable temp in the room. In fact, I woke up in the middle of the night one morning shivering, and most other times or was difficult to get the room temp down. On the other hand, we appreciated the quietness although I'm sure the noise from the A/C played a big part. The room was well appointed with everything we need for sleep and recovery, and for once the tp want like a sandpaper. Plus, I always have a soft spot for family businesses (which I assume this is). I hope they continue to improve and do well.

Absolutely ridiculous. We booked 3 rooms for the whole family. Out of the 3 rooms, the room that I…read morehad with some of my family members were ridiculous. We came in the room and it smelt disgusting but we just let it slide and sprayed perfume everywhere. Few hours later, we found dirty and moulded food in the drawers.

Hours later, a family member wanted to hop in the bed and opened the sheets to see there were stains and the bed was soaked. Although, they finally offered us a new room, which was better than sleeping in the other. The receptionist did much as possible to help but although I wouldn't recommend if you want a clean room w/o troubles!.
