Hôtel Gault

The Gault is in a very convenient position between the old town and downtown. It was easy to walk to Central Station, the Musée de Beaux-Arts or the Place des Arts.||It’s spacious, uncluttered and very smart. The room is stylish enough to give me a buzz every time I got back and I enjoyed looking out on an elegant building opposite. ||The breakfast area lacks buzz, but there’s a good choice of hot dishes, nicely presented. I especially enjoyed the smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. The coffees were excellent.||I’d been dithering between the L Hotel and the Gault, but was glad I booked the Gault which looks a bit smarter from the outside.||There was a daft issue with the room key, which had to be reprogrammed every day. Maybe it was something in my wallet, but I don’t generally have the same problem with other hotels. But the relaxed and friendly team on the desk did a great job whenever I needed help.

I had an amazing stay at Hotel Gault in Old Montreal! The rooms were spacious, modern, and impeccably clean. Both the inside and outside ambiance were beautiful, with a stylish blend of modern design and historic charm. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. Its location is perfect for exploring the historic district, with great restaurants and attractions just a short walk away. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, style, and a touch of luxury!

We liked the large junior suite, which has modern décor, including no rug (a plus!) and a cool brick and stone wall behind the bed. The bathroom was HUGE with a deep tub as well as a shower. Less attractive was the separate area for the toilet. The bed was comfortable. Disappointingly, there were no upholstered chairs for relaxing. The room has two large windows, but the view of the building across the street was nothing special. Based on the building’s location, it’s unlikely any rooms have terrific views. The staff were great: very welcoming and helpful. They showed us a side door to a mini lift to avoid the steps at the main entrance. The lobby is attractive and the cooked breakfast was good. It’s a quick walk from the hotel to the waterfront. The hotel is two blocks from the popular Olive et Gourmando café. Highly recommend the nearby beautiful and delicious vegan restaurant Bloom Sushi!

Hotel Gault's staff were great, helpful, and courteous (especially Brian and Noks). We came earlier than the usual check-in time, so my husband and I roamed the area, which is very close to Old Montreal attractions. The hotel has a luggage storage area, so we are not worried about our luggage while waiting for our room to be ready. When we came back, we were told that our room had been upgraded to a nicer one, which made our stay in this hotel much special. ||Pillows are so huggable. We had a very nice and relaxing sleep.||Breakfast was really good. We had our breakfast delivered to the room as we wanted to relax and watch TV while having our meal. ||Cleanliness: The room is really clean, the towels are new, and the toiletries are good, but they need to pay more attention to maintaining and deep cleaning the toilet bowl and bathroom, as they are very close to getting a bad review.

The Hotel Gault was one of the choices our friends gave us for their son's wedding weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Our large corner suite, which overlooked the street, was quite large and sunny (although it's easy to close the drapes whenever you want).||The queen-size bed was on the soft side but it grew on me. The pillows were great (we ordered extras) and the air conditioning made no noise. The shower was terrific as was the housekeeping staff, who kept our room fresh and clean throughout our stay.||We had breakfast in the hotel on two mornings -- both times the food was quite good (eggs one day, yogurt and granola the next). The croissants were excellent.||Originally, the hotel was a late 19th century building (or two or three) and is very "old-world" charming, but the interiors are contemporary and well-designed. Its location in Old Montreal is fantastic, with walking access to many shops, restaurants, parks and attractions. ||Be aware, though, that you are in a city, with occasional city noise (though nothing too terribly late). If you like a boutique, urban hotel, this is a good bet when you visit Montreal.

I cannot say enough as to how much we enjoyed staying at Hotel Gault. The location is centrally located & the staff at the hotel was exceptional particularly Joey (who advised us on the most interesting places to go he even wrote out directions) & Brithney. Everyone was extremely friendly & helpful answering our questions. Our room was a “suite junior” perfect for a couple. They offered full maid service & turn down service at no extra charge if you wanted it. Their breakfasts were excellent “Eggs Benny” delicious. We look forward to going again.

A swell place . Location, service, and a small boutique hotel. A 1871 warehouse completely gutted into 30 suites. Breakfast was included and quite good. Looks like we found our hotel for a return visit. 2 nights was $750 USD.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Old Montreal. Very near excellent dining options. I was able to walk downtown, around Old Montreal, and to the Port of Montreal. Valet parking was appreciated, as I dropped the car and never needed it until I left. My suite had great style and an exposed stone/brick wall, stand alone tub and walk in shower. The hotel staff - to a person - were among the friendliest I've ever encountered. Breakfast was also tasty. I arrived to chocolates and a handwritten note of welcome in my room, and on my second night returned to two small cheesecakes under a dome. I'll definitely return.

I really wanted to love this place. I certainly did from the website when I booked our rooms. I will say that the staff here and the front desk were all extreme nice and accommodating. Checked in and they told me that they'd upgraded me from my deluxe suite to the Terrance suite on the top floor. That was a nice surprise. Until I saw the room. It was a bit underwhelming. The modular furnishings seemed cold. There were certain details missed like soiled pillows on the sofa and exposed cords and power strips for the televisions. None of it was bad. It just didn't seem higher end like I was expecting. They told us during check in that they'd only make up our room if we had this hung on our doorknob. We did not hang it (as we didn't want our room made up) but that didn't stop the staff from knocking on our door at 8am or from coming back at 4pm while we are out. Bit confusing this was. The beds were nice and the linens were clean. It wasn't noisy. Had a decent nights rest. They had elevators which are not as common in this neighborhood as you'd think. Overall, it was a fine experience. For the price point I paid, I don't know that I'd return.

Check it out ! A bit TOO quiet for my taste. It is best to get top floor suite with balcony.

Lovely hotel centrally located in old Montreal. Parking was ample outside the hotel - stayed in a deluxe suite with bathtub and large desk sitting area. Interior of hotel is modern and sleek, great water pressure and toiletries. Everything in old Montreal and village within walking distance. Highly recommend!

Enjoyed a lovely one night stay at Hotel Gault while in town for an overnight work trip. The staff welcomed me to the hotel and also were kind enough to allow me check in a bit early to freshen myself up after my flight before my work meetings. They told me they upgraded me to a larger room, which was lovely. The room itself was great, super high ceilings with lots of natural light from the huge windows, looking out onto other beautiful buildings in Old Montreal. The space was spotless and loved all of the attention to detail, including a large desk space for working/reading plus the awesome standalone tub in the bathroom. You best believe I enjoyed a fancy bubble bath in there at the end of my workday! The Molton Brown toiletries in the room were lovely and smelled amazing. Bed was also super comfy and so welcomed after a long day of meetings. The next day I called down to order room service and requested they swap out the ham on the eggs benedict to smoked salmon. The man I spoke to on the phone said it was no problem. I went about tidying up my room and the porter knocked on my door with my room service about 30 minutes or so later. I was looking forward to tucking into my meal (I was starving!) and was disappointed to see they hadn't updated the ham to salmon. When I politely called down to let them know of the mix up, the man apologized and said he would fix it. I assumed they would re-make the eggs benny but was surprised when the porter knocked on my door five minutes later with a small plate of smoked salmon in his hand. I'm not an overly picky person but I was surprised they didn't remake the dish. I then had to pull the ham off of my eggs benny, breaking the eggs and removing most of the hollandaise. I totally get this is a first world problem type of complaint but would have appreciated them remaking the dish instead, especially since the price tag on this breakfast order was nearly $40 with tax and tip. Other than this small hiccup, really enjoyed my stay here and would come back again in the future for sure.

The hotel is situated in the best part of Old Montreal, walking distance to everything. It's a grand old building with modern rooms and the friendliest professionals in the hospitality world. We had a comfortable stay here and wil definitely come again.

Great hotel right near a bunch of restaurants, bars and shops in old town. The location is perfect and even a little quieter than most in the area. The rooms and very spacious and clean. The outside is beautiful and the staff is very helpful and nice. Has a gym, restaurant, coffee and anything you need. Recommend staying here for sure!

We loved staying here... I cannot say enough good things about the service! They could not be more accommodating! Normally we are not high maintenance guests, but this trip was different. We were packing in a lot of fun in a short time... When we checked in, they had already upgraded us. Lovely. (Thank you!) We had a number of special requests: - would they store our Easter Basket so our son won't see it - would they decorate our room for someone's birthday and have a dessert with candles (as a surprise) - would they make us brunch with the bagels we picked up at Fairmont bagels Of course there were normal things like: room service, dinner reservations, directions, etc. All done with enthusiasm and a desire to help. One night we had friends over to the hotel... We hung out in the back lobby by the fireplace. So cozy; like being in your living room. Our brunch: One morning we Ubered to Fairmont Bagels, ordered, and then Ubered back. Fairmont is a small bagel shop, only take cash, and they don't make sandwiches. When we returned to The Gault, we gave them our bagels, and they made us a lovely spread... Salmon, capers, pickled onions, cucumbers, choice cream cheese, freshly squeezed oj, cappuccino, homemade jams, traditional eggs... So fantastic and something for everyone. Ps. The Gault had the same bagels. So u don't have to take the uber rides unless u want the full experience. (Lol) Service is so spectacular!!! My son didn't miss having a hotel with a pool for a minute. In addition, the hotel is perfectly located to get to most things easily by either walking or a short uber ride.

We stayed here for one night mid week. It was our first time in Montreal so we did not know what to expect. When we arrived, we noticed that parking was a challenge. We found a spot on the street, but was told by the front desk not to park on the street. Apparently you only option is the valet which is an extra $30. Check in was a breeze and the room was very comfortable. When we walked into the room, the TV was on with Classical music. The Nespresso machine was also a plus. Later in the evening, a thank you letter was dropped off. The only downside was that there was no tub in the room. Other than that, everything was good. Location was fine, everything for the most part was walking distance and about a 10 minute walk to the Notre-Dame and shops.

I would give negative 100 stars if I can. I paid $3,000 for a room over the weekend for 2020 formula 1 races. The race was cancelled and country was closed. I asked for a refund or for me to be able to reserve the hotel for the same event in 2022 (2021 event was closed and country still closed). Both Expedia and the hotel blames the other on rules and they would not speak with me 3 ways. For SERVICES NOT AVAILABLE and NOT PROVIDED I was stolen $3,000. I would not reserve this hotel. If you're going to Montreal avoid this place at all cost.

This was one of the most enjoyable hotel stays, and it really came down to the service. Yes, the hotel room was lovely and the location was perfect for exploring old Montreal, but it was really the small touches that made Hotel Gault stand out. From the moment we pulled up, confused about parking, the staff seemed genuinely interested in making us feel welcome. After a 5+ hour drive, the immediate offer of tea was particularly thoughtful. I was especially touched that the bartender, Ahmed, for asking if we'd ever been to Montreal and, upon realizing we had not, immediately pulled out a map and directed us to the key points of interest. The room itself was beautifully decorated with a simple design, but it was the soft classical music and fresh cookies that made the great first impression. After dinner, we stopped for some drinks and Ahmed expertly led us not only through the cocktail menu- which he designed- but also through some of the uncommon spirits in his bar (how do they get the pear in the bottle??? Come here and find out!) I have really never felt so well-cared for (in an unobtrusive way) at any hotel. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Montreal.

Lovely Hotel. Centrally located boutique hotel in the old quarter of Montreal. Friendly staff, tastefully designed, and big rooms with a super comfy bed. Neither my wife or I heard any hotel noise from other guests while we were there. Our room had two large operable windows which we opened to enjoy the fresh air. The staff left cookies for us every night with turn down service. And for those guests that wanted a workout, they had a very serviceable training room with free weights. I took away a star for the tiny bar and the lack of food options. I think they did serve breakfast, but I'm not 100% sure. In any case, i'd easily stay here again.

Outstanding boutique hotel in the Preferred Hotels chain. Nice, quiet location in Old Town and within a short stroll to Victoria Station metro (3-5 minute walk) or St. Laurent bus stop (5-7 minute walk) for exploring other sections of Montreal such as Plateau/Mt. Royal, Mile End, and Little Italy. Upon check-in, I was greeted with a complimentary upgrade (do sign up in advance for their Iprefer rewards program)....room was huge and was a corner room with nice wrap around windows with views and plenty of sunlight. Very comfortable bed and nice rain shower. Front desk staff was most hospitable and helpful with restaurant and sightseeing suggestions, I did not eat at the hotel (seemed a bit pricey), the gym is indeed small (however, the front desk worked out a special 2-day pass for $23 at the uber trendy and nice Mansfield Athletic Club located about a 15 minute walk away off of St. Catherine), and it's not a lively, busy lobby as is the case at some other hotels but I enjoyed that. Would stay here again on a return visit....check their website for specials and packages.

Really not happy with the management. I got charged an extra 50$ at check out so I asked for the Manager but he was not around I then called twice as I was asked to do but manager was never available and never returned my calls but hotel charged my card the extra 50$ despite the fact the front desk girl said my card wont be charged until the manager gets back to me. Not sure how many more times I have to waste to try to reach the manager this is the last thing on top of my list so really hoping to hear back from the hotel management to resolve the extra charge !

You know how some places are almost perfect Hotel Gault is an almost perfect. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They made our dinner reservations and suggested a great bar for us to go to nearby. The bar and restaurant suggestion was excellent. They brought up fresh baked cookies after check in. The downside is just my opinion. They are currently located in the middle of quite a bit of construction. They can't help that, but it does make it harder to get there by car. It is easy walking distance to Old Town Montreal and the room was very quiet.

First time in Montréal and I had the pleasure of visiting Hotel Gault. I didn't stay here but the conference was held here in their lobby. Its a boutique hotel located in Old Montréal. The interior style was modern with a twist of nineteenth century architecture. The exposed brick in the individual rooms were awe inspiring. Something out of a movie scene. The hotel is updated but you can feel the history in the air. If you drive by, you almost miss it. At least I did several times but the street is only so big. I'm used to huge American signs and awnings. This place is very true to the cities style. The name is very subtle on the side of the building. However, the inside makes a statement. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asked about restaurant suggestions. I would like to stay here on my next visit.

#2 hotel in Montreal on TripAdvisor, and with good reason. Location, ambiance, service. After having walked through Vieux Montreal and assessing the locations of other potential hotels to choose from, Hotel Gault wins hands down for it's proximity to the old city, while being on a very quiet side street, well away from the tourist crowds. The decor is modern minimalist, somewhat at odds with it's Second Empire massive exterior. The king bed sat on a low pedestal - somewhat firm, but offering a great night's sleep. The sliding pocket door on the bathroom was probably the only jarring aesthetic element- listening to that thing groan every time I rolled it shut was slightly annoying, harshing my vibe. And service? Wow. Just wow. We stowed our suitcase until the room was ready. When we returned, they'd dropped the bag in our room. Classical music was playing via the cable box, cookies and a welcome note were awaiting us. After we ambled out for dinner, lights were on for us, the music back on, and bottles of water placed on our nightstands. The front desk clerk walked us outside, the better to direct us to the currency exchange. I'd come back again and again if I could. My only negative is the parking is a bit steep ($36 CDN) vs. nearby 24 hour rates of $18 CDN - but good luck finding your way through the maze of one way streets to find one of those lots.

Our three-day stay in Montreal was really good because of the Hotel Gault. There are almost too many good things to list! The price is very affordable, they offer valet parking, the rooms are large and clean, they leave cookies in your room for you (!!!), the bed is comfy, they have a nice turn-down service, the staff makes GREAT recommendations for where to eat, and Ahmed the bartender/sommelier is AWESOME. Very friendly, and he will make you a great drink! A couple of (very small) potential cons to consider: it can get a little loud at night if you're facing the street, and the bathroom in our room was an open layout bathroom -- for a couple like us, it's not an issue, but I could see it being a problem if you're traveling with a friend.

Prior to arrival, I had emailed regarding questions which were promptly answered. If you need a small empty fridge, you are outta luck as they don't provide this. They can store some items in their fridge, if you'd like though. To print boarding passes, we emailed them our passes. Seems a bit of a hassle since they didn't have a printer for the computer in the lobby but concierge brought it up promptly! At arrival, you are greeted by concierge asking if you'd like complimentary water, tea, or coffee. Upon entry, I love how on the study desk, there were cookies + a card addressed to me waiting! Never had a hotel done this for us! We stayed at Room 310, a corner loft. No upgrades unfortunately since the hotel was supposedly sold out although it didn't seem like it to me. The room itself was nice/clean. I loved the decor - exposed brick, tiled bathroom! Room has free (fast) wifi, a nespresso machine, fully stocked mini bar, DVD player, an extendable mirror in bathroom and best of all - heated bathroom floor! Felt so nice! The view from this room was nothing special but I did love how much light floods the room. The area near Gault was quiet/ away from the hustle and bustle. I appreciate that especially after a busy day. Not too far from the metro and restaurants! Service - everyone at the hotel was friendly and said hi or opened doors for us. We never had to wait too long for our room service or ice. Ask and you shall receive! The weird thing was that the fire alarm went off while we were in the room and so we went downstairs to the lobby but nobody said a thing about it. We were waiting to get the OK to go back to the room but we went back up after seeing a couple return to their room. Overall, I'd recommend this hotel if you don't want to be too close to the center of all the mayhem.

Heads up for travelers hoping to get a good nights sleep... there is a disco/club very near (a couple doors over) from Hotel Gault that dumps drunk, noisy patrons out onto the street at 3am, Wednesday- Sunday. If you're staying in a street room (I was in 150) be prepared to be woken up. 3am-4am, yelling, screaming, singing, etc. my husband wondered aloud if there was a riot happening. Front desk was empathetic, but that didn't help. Bed was comfortable, room was decent- but my stay was ruined by the disrupted sleep.

Wow --- what a terrible experience! my boyfriend and I arrived in Montreal hoping to find Hotel Gault to be a complete gem-- especially after reading so many positive reviews, but our experience was completely awful. Before checking in, we drove around the neighborhood to get a feel for the area, and Hotel Gault was about 7 blocks away from the main thick of old Montreal, so not really "walking distance" in frigid temps, but possibly in the summer. This wasn't a big deal for us... we could always hail a cab. Pulling up to the hotel was quite strange-- and there is no clearly defined area for valet or anything. My boyfriend had to have me pull to the curb so he could go in and ask where the paid parking or valet were; surprisingly my boyfriend and valet guy quickly returned and took care of the car and luggage. Proceeding to check in (Woo Hoo! Almost home free after 6 hours of driving from Toronto). The woman checks us in -- and clearly she had been there a while -- she explained to us that if we wanted to add an additional night to our stay, she could accommodate us but we couldn't be in the same room due to availability-- Totally cool ~ We only booked one night and paid for the double upgrade to the Deluxe Suite, with the King bed and awesome soaking tub. We figured we would stay one night and add another if we loved it. This is when it gets bad... The valet guy showed us to our room... room 260. We get to our room and immediately knew something was amiss. The room was not what we had paid for -- it featured a queen sized bed and no tub... My guy, clearly irritated told the valet guy that we paid for an upgrade 2 levels above this room. The valet guy then told us that not all rooms have tubs.... "We know, which is why we paid for a deluxe suite," my boyfriend explained. Anyway, the valet said he would have the front desk call us when he got back downstairs. The front desk calls and my boyfriend spoke with her and when he complained that this wasn't the room we had paid fo,r she said that this was the only room they had left. Basically we paid an extra $80 or so for an upgrade and they were just going to pocket the cash and put us in a room 2 levels below what we had booked. I understand that overbooking and double bookings happen, but not telling a patron when they're checking in that the suite they had booked wasn't available; then putting them in whatever lower-level room they had left and would be pocketing the extra cash is just really dishonest. Very bad business ethics. Needless to say we had to go through a whole debacle with Expedia and cancel our reservation (Which is like a 30 min process, as there are no cancellations or refunds unless there are special circumstances). Midway through the cancellation with Expedia on the phone, the front desk woman calls up and speaks directly to me. She offered a consolation and explained that if we stay in their "standard" room tonight, that her manager has given her clearance to give us this same "standard" room tomorrow for $199 a night ($100 off). No thanks!! In summary: #1: What kind of establishment allows a guest to pay for a suite w/ a king bed and soaking tub then puts them in a queen room with no tub -- What kind of business just allows guests to pay for the upgrades and takes their money without any explanation at check-in? #2: Take a good look at the photos I've loaded -- The bedside tables were both wobbly -- a trolly bar cart for a TV stand, and a very flimsy fiberboard faux wall unit. I also couldn't help but notice the melted phone -- it was kind of gross... I'm not gonna lie. #3: The location isn't really ideal-- too far to walk to new Montreal and too far to walk to Old Montreal in cold weather (maybe OK in the summer) #4: The lobby was so sterile -- no warmth whatsoever. Looks like you're walking into an upscale doctors office or something. Again I understand that sometimes over-booking and mistakes can happen; but a five star establishment would have immediately apologized and handled the situation with haste and grace. This place is clearly no five star establishment -- no apology, no haste, and no grace.

This is the place to stay in Montreal. There are many other "boutique" hotels in Old Montreal. But, these made-to-look-like boutique hotels just don't compare to the historical, architectural, and minimal gem that is Hotel Gault. Their very affordable nightly room rate is of great value, considering how nicely designed this small hotel is. Minimalist guest rooms are appointed with European designer furnishings, such as Artemide bedside lamps. Cabinetry was custom made for this property. Ingo Maurer lighting is found in the lobby. Design details matter here. Lastly, from a hospitality angle, Hotel Gault has an extremely helpful concierge team, and they always make sure our stay in Montréal is the best possible (they know the restaurant scene inside and out, and will easily get you into the best restaurants possible, sometimes, with little or no notice).

My fiancé and I live in the US, and decided to get married in Montreal. We chose Hotel Gault in the heart of the old city for our stay. In order to be married, plans needed to be finalized in advance of our trip and Ahmed, the concierge, was thoughtful and attentive in helping us sort out and organize all the details. Then, from the moment we checked in, we were treated with warmth and courtesy by the entire Gault team. They made us feel welcomed and that it was important that our event be as beautiful as it could possibly be. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with a great blend of old elegance balanced with modern cool. The rooms are comfortable and chic. The location is PERFECT. We can't recommend the hotel highly enough, and can't wait to return yearly to celebrate our anniversary.

Absolutely loved staying here. Flew in for work and it was my first trip to Montreal. Not only was it less expensive than Marriott (usually stay at M for the points), but it was closer to what I would consider the more interesting part of Montreal. Extremely kind and pleasant staff, they shared with me all the areas I could and should go around the hotel. A short 3 minute walk to Saint Paul street and you are in the heart of Old Montreal. Shops and restaurants everywhere. A few more minutes and you are at the Notre Dam Basilica, an absolute must visit. Even though it was chilly out (mid November) it was worth walking just to see everything on foot. Now onto the hotel room and room service. My room was absolutely incredible. Very clean and well kept, but also very unique layout and design that was very pleasing. My terrace overlooked the city and was truly beautiful. The mattress was a little more firm than I am used to but I was still well rested when I woke up. From what I understand, each room is quite different so there are no two alike. Looking forward to coming back in a month or so to stay again. If you are looking to visit as a tourist, there are many attractions within a short walk. The biodome and a few others are only a short 20 minute cab ride. The hotel is well placed and worth the stay for sure. Enjoy!

We stayed one night at this lovely boutique hotel in Vieux-Montéal. Hôtel Gault is tucked away in a quiet little area in the middle of everything. The service was outstanding. We received a free upgrade when we checked in, and warm cookies were brought up to welcome us. Our room was very large and well laid out, with lots of storage and closet space. It was so blissfully quiet. The weather was gorgeous, so I was delighted to learn that the windows open! There was a huge soaking tub sized for two (with foaming body wash provided) - perfect for my husband and I after the long train ride from Québec City. The shower was also heavenly - incredible water pressure and the shower head was high enough to make my 6'3" husband happy. But only 2 Towels (though they were big and fluffy), 2 hand towels, 2 wash cloths (no extras, but I'm sure we could have gotten more had we been motivated to call down). Breakfast was magnifique! I would come just for breakfast even if I weren't staying at the hotel. What I didn't love is that there are not coffee/hot tea makers in the rooms. I didn't think to check before we retired and they didn't let me know when we were checking in, so I didn't make other arrangements for my morning caffeine delivery system (room service); not a great way to start my morning. But they were so awesome in the lobby - clearly accustomed to addicts stumbling, grumbling and barking as they emerge from the elevator needing their morning fix - strong black tea was quickly placed in my hand, followed by huge, thick-doesn't-even-begin-to-describe-it, Texas-would-be-embarrassed, maple syrup marinated slabs of bacon. After that start, I was ready to face anything the day could bring! There were two other things I didn't love. The first was that the window coverings are perfect for the decor, but they do not block out the beautiful night lightscape (Montreal's Plan Lumière), which appears to turn off only after the sun comes up. Thinking I had overslept, I was continually waking and checking the time on my phone. I could not stay here again without a sleep mask. The second was that the bed was just okay, not very comfortable. It's unfortunate that not all upscale hotels, at a minimum, use thick, plush mattress covers. One final thing to note is that if you have mobility issues that make stairs difficult, this may not be a good hotel choice; you will have to climb stairs to enter the hotel. The staff is wonderful about quickly running out to greet you and carrying all of your items up the stairs for you, but you will have to make your way up several steps.

Small boutique hotel with limited amenities but quality where it matters most- comfortable rooms and friendly service. Great location easy walk to the old port.

Gorgeous hotel in the heart of Montreal. The hotel is sleek, modern, yet very comfortable. My room was spacious with a large working office area, big stand alone tub, cozy robes, slippers, lots of outlets, welcome cookies in my room and a nice view of gorgeous Montreal. The room was spotless and well put together. The staff were accommodating and very pleasant. I love a great hotel gym. This is not where you will find one. Two pieces of equipment and super tiny. Probably best to walk all over the city. I just wish I had more time here. Great spot.

I loved Hotel Gault. Everything about it makes you feel like a celebrity taking a quiet weekend away. The staff is extremely accommodating and warm and the building is beautiful. We opted for a "corner loft" room and it was stunning; it was like staying in an apartment that you'd see in an interior design magazine. There were lots of special touches, too: classical music was playing when we entered the room; there were bathrobes and slippers; the shower products were lovely; and the bed (memory foam?) was so comfortable. Coffee in the lobby in the morning is convenient, inexpensive, and damn good. I would definitely stay here the next time I'm in Montreal.

First, a warning: the hold they put on at the beginning of the stay includes an extra $100 per day as an allowance for potential room service. We were there a week and didn't know this ahead of time so it was a bit of shock when we got there and the hold was $700 more than we had expected. That said, the hotel is amazing. The front desk clerks are very knowlegeable and happy to help out. The rooms are spacious. The tub and shower are top-notch. The chairs are that modernist style with the light padding and good fit. Very comfy. With only about seven rooms per floor, there was not much noise around us. It was fun to watch Quebec TV, which is a mix between French-speaking local channels, some English programs dubbed in French, and some national stuff like CBC and TSN. I did try the room service once and the food was pretty good. There is one of those little fridges stocked with items that cost something like 4 or 5 dollars if you take them. It's great for convenience, but there is a Couche-Tard right around the corner. We went and stocked up on munchies there. Forget about parking around here. It's on a pair of narrow streets right downtown and the spots will certainly all be taken when you get here. The hotel is two blocks from the nearest entrance to the Square Victoria subway stop, and then there's a block or two more walking underground to get to the actual trains. I highly recommend taking the subway everywhere. There is a bus route nearby, but the busses have to sit in the congestion and construction. Things I would change about the room are pretty minor. The main one is that there aren't enough outlets near the bed. I was able to plug in my CPAP, but our phones and battery pack all had to charge way on the other side of the room. And that's a long way because these rooms are big. Also there wasn't a good way to force the AC or fan to run, and even though the thermostat said 65 degrees, it never felt like it was below 70. An ice cold room is really nice after a day of touristing and a walk from a sweaty train station.

This place was definitely different. The rooms are like lofts than your typical hotel rooms. My room had super high ceiling with exposed bricks. The furnishings and the room were modern and elegant. It was very artist and comfortable. There were also perks like complimentary cocktail in the afternoon and breakfast in the morning. The breakfast included crepe, eggs benedict and smoked salmon. Everything about it place was very high end. The front desk and service was responsive. However after that, there wasn't much more. Perhaps this may be good for some, but I became bore after the second day.

Beautiful, perfect location, fabulously friendly, professional staff. My first floor room (2nd floor, American) was quiet and spacious with the high quality bedding one would expect as well as wonderful shower. Close to everything in Old Montreal.

Wonderful place ! Tarik the night shift front desk gentleman made our stay a dream come true ! Kuddos to hotel and specially him

The Gault is a wonderful destination. My fiance and I stayed for Valentine's day weekend 2012. We picked what could have been one of the coldest weekends all winter to visit Montreal, but due to the cozy warmth of our home-away-from-home at the Gault we felt so comfortable! The room was lovely, we had a loft basic package and really enjoyed the heated floor and cute door overlooking the street. The bed is super soft and really a nice complement to the modern look of the room. There's turn down service and cookies provided daily. The location of the hotel in Old Montreal could not have been better - it's perfect for walking through the area and very close to the waterfront. We took part in the spa package offered through the website with the Scandinavian baths and really enjoyed the experience. Our massages were great and the price was reasonable and cheaper than what we would have paid on our own. I emailed the concierge ahead of time to request a special wine and snack celebratory surprise for my fiance and they were so helpful. The entire request was provided to perfection and right on time. I would highly recommend working with the concierge as the recommendations for dinner and jazz club were completely on-point. I've given 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple of reasons: the price is still a bit high for what you get, the breakfast is not included in the room rate although we were told it would be upon check in, and the gym is adequate but quite small.

THE STAFF: Friendly and able to suggest restaurants in the area. Helpful also with giving directions and obtaining a taxi for you. THE ROOM: Spacious. Stylish. Comfortable. THE BED: Huge. Comfortable. Nice sheets. THE BATHROOM: Gigantic tub. Separate shower. HEATED FLOORS which I never thought mattered but now I know they are heavenly. THE PRICE: Good value for your money. They also seem to have deals if you call them up. THE FOOD: I had lovely crepes and eggs benedict w/ smoked salmon for breakfast. It was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. THE LOCATION: It is quite close to the subway and as mentioned the staff will help you with directions. Old montreal is a nice looking place, and it's a short / cheap cab ride to other parts of montreal if you don't want to take the subway. (Though you should, because it's easy and fast.) I would never stay anywhere else.

Phenomenal hotel! The service was impeccable, and the hotel itself was super cool inside. Very sleek and modern, but it didn't feel cold like that type of design can be sometimes. The room included breakfast, which was very tasty, and they hosted a complimentary cocktail hour. Also, the value for what we got was incredible - penthouse suite for about $230 a night USD. Great location, too - it's in Old Montréal, which is lovely to walk around, and not far at all from the subway to get around town. To date, still one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in, and I will absolutely be back whenever I'm in Montréal next.

I stayed here a little while back for a three day visit to Montreal and it stands out as the best hotel experience I've ever had. The staff were accommodating, helpful, and went well above and beyond. Not only did they make last minute reservations, offer (excellent) restaurant recommendations, and help us navigate the metro... When we told them that we were on a hunt for amazing and unusual bottled beer to bring back to Ontario, they got busy on the internet trying to find the best place in town for us to search. The location is great, in the heart of old Montreal (and my room had two big floor to ceiling windows that I could open and gaze out). The building is lovely, our room was immaculate, comfortable, clean, and creatively decorated, which is such a nice treat in a ritzy hotel. I adored every minute of my stay here.

Loved Hotel Gault! the location was great, walkable to incredible restaurants, etc., the staff was amazingly sweet/knowledgeable/helpful/friendly. the room was urban-hipster-chic, the bed super comfy, linens/sheets were high quality, flat-screen TV, iPod docking & big windows added to the "boutique" feel. Once you shut your door, it was very quiet - no noisy neighbors/etc., & we were right across from the elevator. I should mention, you best be tight with your travel companion b/c the loft-like set-up means there is virtually NO privacy while you're showering (glass shower is basically IN the room with a very sheer curtain separating the sleeping area. it didn't bother me, but i could see how some may not like being "on-display" & may appreciate a bit more privacy -- depending on who you're with ;-)

Wow. This place really lived up to the hype. We were greeted by Kelley, who was so friendly and welcoming even at 2:30 am. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved it here and wished we stayed here instead of moving on to an Airbnb. The room felt like a studio loft, not a hotel room, we really loved everything about the layout and design. The bed was insanely comfortable, the espresso machines in the room along with the personalized card was really just icing on the cake. Can't wait to come back next time I'm Montreal.

Andres, I loved you! Without Andres, my stay would have been rather pedestrian. Yes, the Gault is well known for its award winning design, and may be unique in so many ways - I can't recall - to Montreal. BUT, aside from the architectural details and a comfortable bed, and the modern and brilliantly designed bathroom, the stand out feature of my stay was Andres, a concierge. He made my stay warm and inviting. Without him, it would likely have been just another brick and mortar experience with pleasant faces behind a desk. When I think of where to stay in Montreal, I only think of the Gault solely because of Andres. He did a phenomenal job making my friend and me feel welcome. Thank you very much, Andres!

This hotel is in the heart of food and shopping in Old Montreal. The staff is amazing. The woman at the front desk offered to put together a list of open places in the area as it was Christmas eve. She also upgraded us to a corner suite. Super nice! Clean hotel, cool lobby lounge, very cozy!

If only all hotels could be this quiet..... I took friends from the UK and sadly only had one night with them. We drove up from Woodstock VT where I co-own the Woodstocker inn...so I'm picky...and yet again the Gault came up trumps! I managed with the help of the door man to get the only free parking spot right outside of the hotel, and then found they had been kind enough to give me an upgraded room with a large tub....which was right up my alley as I love to sit in the bath! Again the place was quiet and this time I had a vibrating king bed....shame I had no one to share it with! So I was happy...and they make a bloody good cuppa..... I will return with someone next time as those vibrations need sharing!!!!

The place is classy, yet modern and has a beautiful photo collection. The rooms are spotless and surprisingly spacious and offer all commodities. All the staff is very courteous, from the lively lady at the front desk to the chambermaid and everyone went beyond to make sure we were comfortable. I do have to say this is the best hotel I've ever stayed in.

Exquisite hotel located in Vieux (old) Montreal. The exterior is very historic although, the interiors are ultra hip. I absolutely loved the stained concrete throughout.. ... and the rooms are incredibly spacious, not to mention plush! If you're not planning on having a driver/cabby, everything is in close proximity of walking distance. Intimate lobby is filled with visually appealing magazines. Complete pleasure!

Hotel Gault has a great location in Old Montreal (a five minute walk to the Square - Victoria Metro station). The building is elegant on the outside and contemporary/hip on the inside. The lobby is quite stark with a concrete floor and modern furniture. This contrasts with the warm and effusive staff members who are the antithesis of aloof hipsterness. They are full of local tips and genuinely show hospitality. The rooms are contemporary/hip, as well. This means concrete flooring with some short carpet and a flooring that looks like a modern woven plastic placemat, modern furniture, a futon style bed, and no cabinetry (wheeled shelving units). It can be a bit too clever: poor lighting, bathroom ergonomics that are troublesome, and a generally messy look. Housekeeping keeps the room clean, but is a bit lax on some details like glassware and tidying the place up. Breakfast is served in the lobby. Included in our room rate was a continental breakfast. Even though the place was generally empty, the service was excruciating slow, given that no cooking was required. We would have complained were it not for the delightful servers who always displayed a bit of quirky Franglish humor. The breakfast, itself was just fine. The room rates are pretty high, Montreal is not an inexpensive city. Stay there if you are looking for a design-oriented place and are willing to overlook some inconveniences. The staff will charm you.

What a lovely boutique hotel. Warm friendly service. Everyone was so nice and helpful. After signing up for their free loyalty program, we were upgraded to a deluxe loft with a king bed. Modern and chic. Located close to old Montreal 11 minute walk (900 m). Wish the night stands had USB port or regular plug to recharge my phone. Beautiful city and awesome hotel. Will be back

Hotel Gault is by far the best boutique hotel I've ever stayed in. The service there was unbeatable. The moment I walked into the hotel, the staff already knew my name and that I had requested an early check in and late check out. They offered me a complimentary drink in their lobby bar/restaurant while they went upstairs to check the hotel room. The room itself was beautiful with high ceilings. Free wi-fi and cute location in old Montreal. I'd come back next time I go to Montreal.

I loved this hotel. The rooms along with the lobby/dining area were all beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly maintained. It was the perfect mix of modern conveniences in a historic building and area. And don't get me started on the bed. OMG - best sleep in I don't remember how long! Also, loved my breakfast. Very fresh and tasty. Food prices extremely reasonable here! This will be my home in Montreal when I return. Heart Hotel Gault!!!

We have stayed at many of the other modern Old Montreal boutique hotels on business trips, but loved the Gault for having more natural light and space compared to the others. Old Montreal is our favorite spot to stay when we are in the city; it's classic and hip at the same time, and full of great spots for dining and exploring. Our JR suite room at Hotel Gault had gorgeous, classic exposed brick. The staff were all exceptionally friendly - no French attitude here! We didn't love the color of the birch wood closet and desk, but it all worked together okay in our room. The rest of the design was on point. The free but super slow wifi would have been a huge issue if we had to work during our stay, but luckily we were there over a holiday weekend. Valet parking ($35/night) was available and prompt, which made it easy to deal with our car even though you're in the old city.
