Hotels Near Galerie Images Boreales in Montreal

The room is very good and the service is good. Park your car and go in at the passage of the small street and wait for the rolling shutter door to open. There is a heated swimming pool on the 14th floor of the hotel. The scenery is very good. You can see the scenery of the old port. It only takes a few minutes to go to the pedestrian street.

Apart from the first-class location, the hotel has nothing to recommend it. It is a few hundred meters away from the Lanzhou Beef Noodle Restaurant, a popular place in Chinatown, and not far from the Cathedral of Our Lady. There are no attractions around it! The only problem is that the hotel facilities are too old, the room has no windows and smells too bad!

Location is great if you want to be close to China town or old Montreal. It is about a 30 minute walk to downtown. Although parking is pricey it was worth it since the under ground garage was clean, bright convenient and safe!! Just make sure your ticket to go in and out works properly, it can get stressful since the garage is a bit on the tight side to have to back up with cars behind you when the ticket won’t let you out. I stayed in room 1409 and was large and clean, but there was a vacuum sound that would go on and off throughout the day, however we were out exploring for most of the days. Great stay and would return again!!

Everything was as expected to the friendly front desk staff, clean room, comfortable bed and awesome location. You can walk to the old port, downtown and abundant shopping malls from the hotel. We didn’t use our car so the $30/night fee seems expensive. All around great stay in an awesome city.

Quite disappointed with the room provided vis-a-vis what was reserved. Two double beds instead of two queens was a tight squeeze for our family. I fail to understand why this happened, particularly since the room was booked two months in advance of arrival & secured with a credit card. I was told the hotel was fully booked for the weekend so the issue could not be remedied. That said, our room was on the pool level which was kind of nice. The room was clean and included a small fridge plus a safe. There was also a steamer which was handy for touching up formal attire. The hallways seemed a bit dim & May benefit from an update. They were quiet, without echos, which was nice however. Finally, the Metro station can be easily accessed through the building which is a bonus! Based on overall experience, I would recommend this hotel. I may consider it for future trips to Montreal but might be a bit apprehensive based on the room switch which occurred.

This hostel is one of the best I've ever stayed. Great location with metro /bus station nearby, modern bedrooms, very clean, 24h reception, free coffee/tea, huge and clean kitchen, plenty of common spaces, a terrace with 2 jacuzzis that stay opened until 22pm! The hostel also has an underground bar and proposes several activities on each day of the week, i.e. park walking, dancing night, beer pong tournament. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

I came for a medical training in September 2022. - Bad customer service. Dubious practice on room rates. When I first booked in June, I was told I could book with a preferential rate from the training organiser. It turned out the preferential rate was more expensive than booking at the hotel directly (you get 15% discount if you stay more than 3 nights). I called the hotel, and the lady in charge said they couldn’t do anything, she wouldn’t apply the 15% discount on top of the conference preferential rate. That seemed fair to me, as I understand hotels lost a lot of business during the pandemic and tried to balance the finances. At that time I booked a room with 2 queen beds but I wasn’t sure if my husband and son would join, so I declared it would be for 1 adult only. In September, I contacted the hotel and asked to update the room occupancy to 2 adults and 1 child. THEY CHANGED the room rate and rose the price (instead of less than $1000 for 4 nights, it went to $1300!). When I asked why, they said bc I changed the booking, so they update to the new rate at the time of the change. It is still exactly the same room! I don’t mind paying more in taxes bc more people stay in the same room, but changing the rate, when they knew I was part of the conference and wouldn’t change hotel, was a bit lame… I called the same conference lady and asked if I could revert back to the conference rate. She said no, bc the conference rate has expired and she wouldn’t give it as a commercial gesture because she gets commissions on the bookings… what a bad customer service! Not sure if it was done on purpose, the room I got was a room just outside the elevator, so noisy… And we checked in, the 2 people in front of us complained very loudly about the hotel… - Room not clean and missing toiletries The beds and pillows were comfortable. They didn’t have a duvet cover, but 2 flat sheets… the duvets and the pillows were yellow from stains. The bedside tables were dusty. Carpets dirty (not the same colour, although the same patterns, as the ones in the corridors). In the bathroom, there were only soap bars, no shampoo or conditioners. I only got them because one morning, I saw a cleaning lady in the corridors and asked if she had any shampoos etc. To my surprise, she did and gave them to me. - Conference rooms neglected We had tea/coffees and pastries in the morning of the first day… but they were not refilled after lunch or the days after… unless we asked. And even after asking, we wouldn’t get hot water for tea… The toilets near the conference rooms either had missing hand soap or missing paper towels to dry your hands…. I get it that the hotel wanted to save money after being under occupied during the pandemic… but for a 4 star hotel, I expected better and better customer service. The hotel is well located, in the city centre… but I won’t be back if I have to come to another conference in Montréal.

Water from shower head is very weak need to fix or change it.

Hotel was at a good location but our room was really medium on cleanliness. At the beginning, we were missing towels and had to ask to them. The breakfast was really poor.

Front on the highway side very noisy, at the rear probably less. Sheet metal bed base (don't hit it especially if someone is sleeping). Only one ice machine for the entire hotel. No milk or cream in the fridge for coffee. A few more small adjus**ents, new and clean hotel.
