Pros: B eds were fine.
Cons: Our initial room was substandard and certainly not representative of the photos. However, the staff change us to another room after the first night and it was delightful. We have traveled extensively throughout the USA, Asia and Europe and the initial room was not in any way a "deluxe king" as advertised.

Pros: The amenities were as described; the staff welcoming and highly accommodating. Great central and accessible spot in the Old Port section of Montreal!
Cons: Taxes in Montreal were quite high, so the value for this booking was not quite as good as I had hoped. But that was the only thing I didn't like!

Pros: Staff was just amazing! We had a lovely view of the river (4th floor). Location is great. Easy walk to all of Old Montreal. Watched fireworks from the terrace...
Cons: Mattress on roll away bed could have been better. In fairness perhaps this could have been remedied if we had asked for a replacement (we did not).

Pros: Great breakfast menu included. Coffee bar open all day.
Cons: We could have used help with bags as we arrived in taxi. The heater was on in the room as well as a.c. The heat would not go off.
The shower although great had a broken hose.
I'd booked the deluxe king which was a real disappointment. It was tiny and only had a small window. We spent extra and upgraded even more.
They could use some thicker curtains as the sun rises very early in June!

Pros: The hotel was in a great location for the port and the old city of Montreal. We enjoyed the huge and tasty breakfasts, from a long list of different specialities, and ate dinner on the terrace outside. The room was fine, bed and bathroom were comfortable and the price was about right for the prime location. Although on the main harbour front drive, it was not noisy.
Cons: The window was quite small so the river view was a bit constricted. What we could see was great.

Pros: This hotel was amazing. It's got so much character. The staff were really friendly and extremely helpful when we asked for recommendations for where to go or where to eat. The hotel is extremely clean and has some great shower products in the room for you. The Gaspar bar is excellent, serving an excellent breakfast and serving some really nice drinks. The rooftop bar was extremely busy as it's open to the public. The location was excellent for old Montreal. right in the heart of everything with a great view of the harbour. There loads of great bars and restaurants near by, giving you plenty of choice. Wifi is excellent.
Cons: If i had to be super critical the lift is a bit slow.

Pros: Our visit was short with only one night spent with Auberge du Vieux-Port but it was about as close to perfect as a hotel stay can get. From the welcoming phone call a few days prior to arrival to the genuinely warm reception we received when we checked in we were made to feel right at home. The staff at Aubergeare are exceptional.
The trip was a surprise for my wife for our 31st anniversary and while I had high hopes for the room based on the website, these were exceeded. We stayed with this company some years ago in one of their 2 bedroom apartments and were very impressed, enough to book again this time in the main building. I understand that the other properties have been refurbished since our earlier visit though we remember them as being very charming as they were.
As a retired Foreign Service officer, I spent my adult life living and traveling abroad and we stayed in countless hotels throughout the world. I must say that this hotel stands out for the warmth of the staff and the wonderful charm of the hotel and rooms. The location is unbeatable. We are look forward to staying with them again.
I do have to add that the included breakfast was simply stunning! The Eggs Benedict with ham were the best I have ever had.

Pros: You must stay here !! The staff were amazing, the room lovely, the bed incredibly comfortable. The area the hotel is in is perfect and the galleries situated all around it are amazing. We truly had a lovely stay and will be going back there again. I do not think we have stayed anywhere where the staff have been so attentive and helpful.
Cons: Tea and coffee in the bedroon would have been great but there was always free tea and coffee in reception so not a major issue at all.
