Deborah from Burlington, ON CA stayed on July 10, 2005

"We found the hotel clean and exactly as advertized. The hotel is somewhat "hostel-like". The staff that we encountered were friendly and the breakfast was very good and again, exactly what we were led to expect. The location next to the Old Port is excellent - walking distance to several attractions. I would recommend this location to anyone wanting to get the old "French" experience in Montreal. I did find, though, that it was a bit expensive...one could have a good hotel for almost the same cost - this is a location for someone who does not want a "standard hotel" and wants a local experience."

"I would recommend only for someone wanting to be in Old Montreal for the lowest price possible. They serve breakfast, but beware of the size of the room-- you have no closet, and really no place to put down a suitcase. Two people cannot walk in a room w/ a double bed."

"Small hotel in Old Montreal. Very European, small rooms old style. The best thing about this hotel is the customer service. From the moment I walked in to the moment I left I felt like I was the only guest staying there."

Built in 1898, Hotel Champ-de-Mars is located near the gates of the Old Port of Montreal, approximately nine miles from Dorval International Airport. The Hotel Champ-de-Mars is at the eastern main entrance of the Old Port of Montreal, near the Saint Lawrence River, on 756 and 764 Berri Street. The street's name is said to come from Simon Despres, known as Le Berry, a wealthy landowner who was killed by Iroquois in 1663. The northern facade of the hotel is bordered by Saint Louis Street, formerly the main road of the little suburb Saint Louis, which had developed just outside the fortifications during the 1740's. The southern facade of the hotel is bordered by the Parc de Ville-de-la-Fleche. The hotel is also near Place Jacques-Cartier, one of the liveliest spots in Montreal. In the early 19th century the hotel served as a rooming house and tavern favored by sailors before change of ownership and subsequent renovation.

Hotel amenities include the restaurant and bar (Blues Cafe), gift shop, complimentary full American breakfast, and access to the Energie Cardio Fitness Club with saunas, indoor pool, aerobics, massage treatments, and tanning areas. The hotel also offers concierge service, dry cleaning, and Internet access.

All rooms feature TVs, phones, air-conditioning, and private bathrooms.
