La Tour Belvedere hotel

rooms were great. view was nice. cleaning staff was a bit rude when knocking on our door 10 minutes before checkout. other than that a great stay for the price

Large room and bathroom plus kitchenette. Comfortable bed and a little balcony - great value for money. A bit of stale cigarette smell in lift and hallway. You have to use room key or call them to get in the building (although you can just about see the front desk from the door). Paid parking nearby, short term parking free nearby on street except certain times

La Tour Belvedere popped up when looking for an affordable place to stay in Montreal, and I am glad we chose it. The prices were good and the rooms included everything we wanted (and more, in some regards).

The location is very good; walking distance to busy areas, to food and shopping, and very close to transit. Arrival was easy and we were immediately told that we were moved up because of renovations that are going on.

The rooms were not perfect, so it is great to hear that renos are happening. I don't want to talk down the place because both of us were happy; we received good accommodations with cheaper rates!

But for future users to know what to expect: The hotel is an older one, as far as modern buildings go. There are newer things, like keycards and the good TV in the rooms - but things do die their age, like the doors and a phone line, and there were a couple patches on the walls that you notice here and there.

Our room did look good upon arrival. The kitchen included a full-sized fridge with freezer, stove and sink. There were cooking tools, a toaster, kettle, and cutlery. The building has a lot of long term tenants, so I could see that was set up for apartment residents, but it was also very useful for us as hotel guests.

The bathroom was good; everything worked well, but, again, some things showed their age - like how the lights heated the room. The shower was nice, and the soaps and shampoos provided were a bonus.

The deck had a great view, it's a nice size and a fun place to hang out on. The 2 doors leading to it like an airlock weren't pretty but are beneficial for heat and light - I really appreciated them each morning. The curtains also worked well and the air conditioner worked even better.

The bed was a great size for 2 people, the mattress seemed a good quality because you couldn't tell the other person was moving. The pillows were not great, but the sheets were just right for the room. The couch was nice to sit on, and the tables were convenient.

The outlets in the walls in the main room were not in the best spots for charging devices (more hidden like outlets were in the 20th century) - although everything did work well, outlets and appliances, both in the kitchen and in the main room.

We are very happy we stayed here, it was a good place and we'll be looking at it for our next visit.

It's good for the price with a convenient location. Wildly hot though in the apartment with no control of the temperature. Having a kitchen was nice and it's close to a grocery store. The bed was actually quite comfy. But the place really could use an upgrade- the shower head screams when you use it, the walls are cracked, the tv remote does not work.
But you get what you pay for I suppose!
