Hotel Bonaventure Montreal

The staff was friendly and the outdoor spaces were very nice - love the "nature walk" 3 stories above the ground, complete with pond and ducks! The fact that the lobby is on the 3rd floor with only 2 small elevators (stairs are emergency only) made for a constant bottleneck when coming and going. Convenient location. HVAC ducts made banging noises whenever turning on and shutting off - tough to sleep for this light sleeper. Bathtub had mold in the corners, shower curtain had large rip in the top, lots of chips and stains. Living space felt recently remodeled.

At the first glance, it seems the access from Metro station Bonaventure is good. In fact, the navigation guides from the station to the hotel was terrible and I had to walk around very much to get to the main entrance of the hotel. After I got out on the ground, probably due to high city buildings, GPS signals were weak and it was very difficult to locate my own position correctly. The hotel is situated at the center of a city block but you can access the hotel from only one particular point on an edge of the block. The hotel is difficult to identify from the surrounding roads because it is a low building and is walled by unrelated tall business buildings at which you can not find any sings or paths to the hotel. You should check the map very carefully before approaching to the hotel.

Bathrooms need updated.

We were celebrating our 51st anniversary and chose to come back to the Bonaventure where we spent our first honeymoon. The hotel staff couldn’t have been more lovely - upgraded our room, treated us to a lovely bottle of bubbly and a sweet treat for our dinner one evening. We felt warmly welcomed and pampered beyond our expectations. The Bonaventure is still a beautiful place and great location for enjoying Montreal.

This place is more for business stays. The only reason we stayed there is because it was across the street from the railroad.
