Hotels near Androgyne Bookstore in Montreal

It's a very convenient location as you can get there without having to go far from downtown. Also, there is a Chinatown nearby, so you won't have to worry about food. It was very clean and the bed and other furniture were also very clean.

On the negative side first because that’s what you’re here for…The double room was a bit small but fine for a solo traveller like myself. The breakfast bar left something to be desired. I wish the rooms were bigger and the breakfast more expansive (there were no gluten free options). So I couldn’t even have a coffee and toast for breakfast. Literally fruit, juice, yoghurt and boiled eggs. They did have Rice Krispies tho' and I personally can tolerate that. Some others can’t. And the milk is whole milk. No options for skim. That was disgusting on my Rice Krispies. Maybe the selection is better in the summer season… But on the positive side….the hotel is located in the center of all the festival action, Place des Arts,Maison Symphonique, restaurants. You cannot beat that unless you want to pay double. The room was cheaper than most AirBnB rooms available in the same area. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff are knowledgeable and courteous. The A/C and heating systems allow you to easily set your temperature and get the room cozy, especially important for Montréal in February or to cool your room in July. Anyway, I’ll be returning. The scene is too good in Montréal to keep me away and this hotel is a great budget choice. You can buy breakfast locally if it's a problem for you

Friendly staff and location...close to old montreal and metro. High floor so nice view of chinatown. Only drawback, also near redlight district and homeless shelter. Not a hotel issue but be aware, little seedy at night. We also liked our room. When we entered room, impressed with modern look but as the days went by, noted hinges off closet door, lack of good task lighting and sluggish drain in bathroom. Not big issue but property needs a little TLC. FYI - told by front desk that hotel recently reopened lounge for breakfast. I booked months ago when no breakfast option was available. When asked about breakfast, was denied and told could not eat at hotel since breakfast option was not included when i booked reservation. So asked how much for breakfast option and was told can't eat at hotel. Was surprised at response, especially since customer service and experience is key in hospitality business. So ate (and spent my money) elsewhere.

We stayed one week in this Courtyard by Marriott (Oct 2022). Located right on Rene Levesques Boulevard (former Dorchester). Walking distance to many sights. Our check in was very fast, we walked up, we were greeted by friendly young man and we made our way to the room, all within 10 mins. Our room was on the 10 floor and we had a partial view looking NE towards the Notre Dame Basilica. The gym is on the 11th floor and I must say that on occasion I could hear the weights being dropped on the floor by some inconsiderate simpleton. There IS a sign in the gym that mentions that this should be avoided. Nice gym great machines and great view. Our room featured a king bed and had good lighting, pillows, large bathroom, shampoo, soap and conditioner. The sink did have a slight ”bad smell” however. Apart from the rare noise from the gym, the room was very well insulated for sound. It was the most sound insulated room I have ever stayed in. The room was very clean. The mini fridge had a couple bottles of water. The room also had a ”pods” style coffee machine which we enjoyed all week. The TV had a wide selection of channels in both French and English and the screen can be tilted to face the bed. A Metro station (Place D'Armes) is nearby and the hotel has underground parking on location for those with a car, I am not sure what it costs. We ate one dinner in the restaurant in the lobby. The food was of good quality and very tasty but a bit overpriced. Conveniently, there is a large IGA grocery store one block up in the Complexe Dejardins where you will also find a pharmacy and other shops. The 747 airport bus stop is located across the street on Rene Levesque (heading TO the airport). The bus costs 11 dollars in COINS only. At about 10am our bus trip to the airport took about 30-35 mins. All the staff we interacted with were extremely friendly. They all spoke both French and English. We would stay here again on our next trip to Montreal but I must say, I found it a bit expensive $$$$$$$. Happy Travels.

Such friendly staff and our room was amazing! Best experience we’ve had in our whole trip. We were celebrating our anniversary and all the “big” hotels that we stayed at for our road trip were unfortunately disasters. The staff at hotel Brossard were so nice and they even have electric charging stations and a complimentary breakfast. Pic included is of the seating area for breakfast. Definitely a hotel that goes above and beyond!

Our family stayed for 3 nights at the end of December. The hotel was very clean and quiet. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite with kitchenette. There is no oven in the room but there is a fridge, freezer, toaster, microwave, stove top, coffee maker). The midtown location was great! Parking was a breeze, there is a black garage door for the underground parking. Although the parking signage needs to say: “Homewood Suites” it just says “parking de l'hôtel $15” which as first-time guests we weren’t sure if it was our hotel or not. Nearby shops are all walkable. We highly recommend walking over to the Supermarche, its directly across the street to make your own charcuterie (large selection of fresh baguettes, cheese and meats - awesome prices too). There is also a Starbucks directly across the street which we loved! Travellers tip - pack ziploc baggies to store your extra food in. The bathroom was very large and bright, it’s only accessible through the bedroom. We would have preferred to have bathroom access through the living room as to not disturb our sleeping child at night. The swimming pool was quite small for a family hotel (10 person capacity) and the water temperature could have been warmer. We really wished there was a hot tub to relax in at night and warm up after the pool. The included breakfast buffet was very convenient for our family. Hotel staff were very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend this hotel.

It was so nice and everyone was so kind too! I’d recommend to visit here before the day when you depart through airport!

This stylish hotel was pet friendly, clean and comfortable. The friendly and helpful staff spoke English with us, as we did not speak French. There were several, affordable, take out restaurants near by, on the university campus which was great because eating in was not an option due to the pandemic. We enjoyed this property very much, even though we only stayed for one night. We would definitely stay here again!

We brought our daughter to start her uni life to Montreal. We stayed in a not-yet renovated room for four nights and then extended two more nights in a renovation room. On top of the previous comments ”The location of the hotel is just by the side of the train station. It is located a walkable distance to the down towns and lots of restaurants nearby. It takes around a 30 minute walk to Old Montreal, or a Uber drive of around 20 CADs. The swimming pool and the Jacuzzi is the main attraction. The best time to use it is the morning time which is less crowded than the evening and night. The breakfast is provided complimentary at the executive lounge. The service there is extremely good. The male waiter is committed and professional, who makes the day of every customer.” I would like to add that the view of the room is nice. The new room faces the internal garden with mandarin ducks, trees and small rivers, which is refreshing. Moreover, the staff is very helpful. We needed to print some documents urgently but the printer did not work. The staff at the front desk immediately asked us to forward the documents to them and printed them for us within minutes. The sensitivity and responsivity are highly appreciated. The only issue is the rooms adjacent were still renovating, thus the smell of paints were spread to our room too. Anyway, if you are bringing your kids to uni, this is a very good choice for the pre-uni life for the family.

Do yourself a favor and avoid booking this hotel at all costs. It seems as though they are at this again - I read some reviews during the Covid-19 pandemic that they would abruptly cancel reservations without making any arrangements for the impacted traveler. They have done this again - received an email March 21st advising me that they were going to cancel my reservation (16 days before arrival) as the hotel was closing due to ”Government Requisition”. This means that the hotel sales staff secured a more lucrative contract to rent out the entire hotel and the casualty is evidently to leave a few hundred guests high and dry. If you booked months out, rebooking at another property means that you will now be paying a lot more for a room at a nearby hotel. They have done absolutely nothing to make arrangements for the guests who had reservations cancelled - minimal effort, very poor!
