HÔTEL LE RELAIS LYONNAIS

We had a fantastic stay here! Circus fest was happening on the street right outside our room and we could watch from the balcony. Lots of great restaurants right outside the door, and only a 20 min walk or metro ride to anywhere you would want to go.
The room was spotless and the linens fresh. 100% will stay here again. Sending Thanks to Albert, the host with the most!

Nice little boutique hotel. Located in the Latin Quarter. Charming hotel, great staff, superb location. I will be back

Positives: This charming boutique hotel's best feature is Albert at reception who makes you feel very welcome. The room was beautiful with a comfortable bed (note: feather pillows only), small sitting room and a large window you can open to take in the sights and sounds of the busy street below. The location is ideal with close Metro access and for visiting the Latin Quarter, and the front door is always locked. Free parking is included at a nearby parking garage with in/out privileges.
Negatives:
- In case it's missed from other reviews, this is not an accessible hotel (no lift) and access to the hotel requires ascending a staircase and then access to rooms requires ascending another steep/narrow staircase which can be a challenge with luggage, and tiring after a long day of exploring the streets. We are generally fit so it wasn't a major problem.
- Continental breakfast is only offered on weekends. They do offer coupons for a nearby bagel place during the week, but we came for the patisseries and boulangeries so we only had bagels one day.
- Noise was expected due to it being a lively street with lots of foot traffic, and bars and restaurants open late into the evening, and it did get loud at night which can be quite festive (there was a drum band marching by one day - bring earplugs if you prefer quiet), but the jackhammers from the major construction site at the intersection nearest the hotel were most unpleasant and start at 8am promptly (June 2023). If you care to sleep past 8 I would stay elsewhere until the construction project is finished. This is not the hotel's fault, of course, but it should be known before booking.
True to form of the unfailingly polite Canadians, street noise ceases promptly with closure of restaurants so there aren't sounds of loud partying all night long.

If you're ok with hustle and bustle, fit enough for stairs and are looking for an off-the-beaten path stay that feels like renting someone's small flat instead of generic chain hotel lodging, I recommend Les Relais Lyonnais.

Historic building with a handful of rooms in a great, vibrant section of Montreal. I had a spacious suite with a bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, and back terrace on the top floor. Very spacious, clean, and quiet after the dinner hour. The host was very friendly; interested in my visit and well-being. Rooms were cleaned every day in the early afternoon.

Muy mala atención al cliente, súper groseros y faltas de respeto
