HÔTEL CHEZ SWANN

We had an interesting stay at Hotel Chez Swann that started badly, but ended up being good. First, let’s start with the location. Can’t really beat it if you’re planning your stay around downtown. There were a few things that we discovered in the first day we stayed there that almost made us find a new place to stay. The water pressure was nonexistent and the television had no sound. The floorboards creaked pretty loudly to where we could hear when our neighbors took each step. We were pretty tired so we didn’t make a big fuss. Things got better the day after as the water pressure came back. The staff was nice and did their best to be courteous while providing personal space. The layout of the rooms are rather…unique. There’s a velvet curtain that separates the shower from the room. The curtain is inside the room. So…if you’re looking for a show as part of your experience this is the place for you. Light bites are included during breakfast hours. Because they don’t have a kitchen they provide simples drinks, pastries and cereal. No complaints, but there are plenty of breakfast options close by if you’re looking for something more substantial. Overall, setting up our base of operations here made it really convenient to get around as it’s in a really centralized location and that ALMOST makes up for the other issues. Come here for the location. Look for other options if you’re a light sleeper or need privacy.

This place wasn't so great... I mean other than the location and the free "continental breakfast" and the kind concierge, and the art deco... it was kind of noisy and besides that it wasn't really that clean either and there was no parking... parking was not free and you had to go up through the lobby of a very swanky and expensive hotel next door. Not a delightful first Montreal trip.

rooms smell badly and very little of water shower and service does not help.

Fantastic unique hotel in a great location. Rooms were creative and oddly fun, like having a floor to ceiling window to the bedroom in the shower! Clean and well decorated in the common areas too. Nespresso machine in the room. Continental breakfast of yogurt, fruits, cereal, and excellent pastries was great.

Really artsy hotel with an authentic feel. Located close to most of what downtown Montreal has to offer. The breakfast was included and even though it wasn't the best possible breakfast (mostly carbs), it is always nice to get something to eat in the morning and to get a good cup of coffee. The most impressive thing about the hotel was the clear see through glasses from the bed into the shower (although possible to cover them). That is really something that can spark up a rendezvous! All in all a beautiful hotel with an authentic touch (creaky woodfloors, beautiful art pieces etc).
