"Hotel Le Germain, Montreal Le Germain Montreal closed for renovations in October 2018 and is expected to reopen in May 2019. On a quiet street between McGill and Peel subway stations in downtown Montreal ’s Golden Square Mile district, the boutique Hotel Le Germain evokes a feeling of calm amid chaos. The lobby's relaxing color palette of earthy browns and greens was apparently inspired by a visit to the Grand Canyon. Refurbished in 2009, ten years after the hotel opened, the minimalist monochrome rooms are pleasingly large, with splashes of color provided by wool throws and pillows designed by Québec’s Marie Saint Pierre. The bathrooms all have rainfall jet showers, and each room boasts a Nespresso coffee machine. Le Germain also offers guests free extras like Wi-Fi and newspapers, which are perfect to enjoy while curled up by the fireplace in the lobby. The "deluxe" continental breakfast includes buttery pastries and croissants."

This lovely hotel is v modern and the shower cubicle with a window into the bedroom takes a bit of getting used to but did make the bathroom much brighter. Maybe a blind or opaque glass could be added? Bed was so comfortable and the view from our window at night was spectacular (as shown) with all the building lights. Our room was on the 20th floor so lovely and quiet. Delicious breakfast and plenty of choice. Unlimited free coffee refills greatly appreciated. All the staff were so nice and helpful. Late check out available at midday was most unexpected, and it really felt that the hotel/staff couldn't do enough to welcome you.

Everyone was wonderful from the very first front desk to the restaurant staff to housekeeping. The Nespresso and hot water kettle were a nice touch. They had a water fountain by the elevators with refrigerated water. The best part was the bed—it was much more comfortable than most hotel beds! Edited to add: I changed my five star review to four stars. People call this affordable luxury, which I think references the room, but I give this an overall four stars because I think the front desk service could improve significantly. The staff are very passive and quiet, not reaching out unless you ask questions. I also wish they had told me these things beforehand: housekeeping will come and clean your room even if you set your room to “do not disturb,” the water kettle may need a cleaning, and I received no welcome drink or note like the other patrons posted about (but I was granted an early check-in). In fact, people came into my room multiple times a day because my room would change each time I leave my room—I wonder if they were overcompensating for not coming the day before, even though that was what I had wanted and told them in person. (However, the housekeeping staff was lovely.) Lastly, the shower has a glass wall that leaves no room for privacy from anyone else in the room, so it is best to travel solo or with a romantic partner if you stay here. Also, I had tried to book a taxi the day before with the front desk, and they weren’t helpful and suggested I call Uber which canceled on me—I strongly recommend calling cabs if you need to be on time.

Our first time staying at Le Germain and certainly not our last. The service was outstanding, the rooms impeccably clean and well appointed, and the location couldn’t have been more perfect. An elegant but unstuffy hotel that you will certainly remember and stay at again on your next trip back to beautiful Montreal!

Stayed here for a few nights on a business trip and enjoyed my stay. The room was clean and tastefully decorated. The crew was friendly and responsive. The hotel is located in an area with plenty of choices of restaurants. The price was reasonable considering the scale of service I was getting.

I love the blend of MCM and modern decor and amenities. It creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is excellent and the staff professional and attentive. They even pay attention when you leave to wave and wish you a good day or evening.

What a great hotel! So glad we chose this one from all of the choices in Montreal. The staff was super friendly and helpful (the concierge was absolutely amazing!). The rooms are chic and beautiful. I would recommend asking for one with the hanging chair which was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing. Great location, and a bonus of being next door to Solit which is a great spot for breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

This is by far the best hotel and best value stay we have had in Montreal. The room felt fresh, clean, modern and well considered. The bed was sooooo comfy and the shower was great. Nespresso coffee in room is always a plus, but a reminder that the European traveler likes the 2% milk with it. The arrival sequence was simple, we asked to store our luggage as we arrived early and to our delight the room was already ready so we were allowed to go straight up. They had our preordered welcome drinks all ready and a lovely welcome note to go with it. We had late drinks in the bar with some nibbles which were also tasty. Would recommend.

J'y suis allée pour une conférence donc mon avis est pour le service de coordination d'événements et la restauration associée. J'ai été impressionnée par le professionnalisme du personnel, leur très grand sens du service. Très impressionnée aussi par la nourriture qui nous a été servie. Tout était très fin, gourmet et gourmand. Vraiment une belle découverte et comme c'était mon premier événement en personne depuis 2 ans c'était vraiment une superbe expérience.

How can one not enjoy a city where the majority of citizens speak both English and French daily? And, I might add, many places play French music which I find to be both playful and relaxing at the same time. And what can top the home of Poutine! Montreal is a much more accessible city to travel to than to Paris and especially so for the East Coaster. Add customs to Canada, for a US citizen and you have an easy getaway. Montreal was our city stay prior to catching the railway to Quebec City. The question is where does one stay? There is no shortage of boutique or luxury hotels here. The husband and I selected Hotel Le Germain based on a solid comfortable bed, a walkable location so we could get to sites we wanted to see and in room Nespresso is our standard. We were greeted promptly by the concierge, bell man and the desk staff as we would come and go each day. The room was somewhat small but what we expected and it met all of our comfort needs. The only downside was the restaurant was closed for a refit while visiting. We had food delivered our first day. They are closed temporarily to complete other upgrades now. One of the highlights was a simple delight that a guest would not normally receive. For breakfast the hotel provided an outside vendor to serve breakfast: Oatbox.com. I looked forward to receiving this gourmet box; with local yogurt and cheese, homemade granola and a different fresh pressed juice each morning. I want this service at home. Our visits included the Barbie Expo (Walkable Museum), RESO Underground City (Walkable, French Patisseries) and the 67 Worlds Fair Biosphere. We only took Bonjour Taxis, Lyft/Uber from plane and to train as sometimes luggage needs a ride too. Bonjoir each day here. #Montreal #OHCanada #HotelLeGermain #Oatbox

I stayed one night at this hotel, and got a room on the top floor. Unfortunately the view wasn't that good due to a neighboring building, but it didn't matter since the room itself was so nice! Staff was friendly, polite and service minded! Bed was so comfortable, linens too! In the bathroom they have Molton Brown products and I love the scent! Towels were great! Love that there are hotels that have thought of not only business traveling men, but also women, thanks!! One thing was disappointing, and that was the complimentary breakfast. At such a nice hotel I was expecting more options, most things contained sugar, which would have been nice to avoid in the morning. Other than that, everything was great and I will come back!

Went here for a work meeting and had coffee (no food). Very close to my office (McGill University, Desautels Faculty of Management) so convenience is a plus in my case. The coffee was good and the atmosphere was perfect for a serious work task - quiet, comfortable, private, and no distractions. The staff were prompt and courteous. Side note: The place was SO effective at fostering engaged work conversation and the staff were sufficiently non-intrusive that I forgot to PAY MY BILL when leaving. Once I realized this later that day (as I was about to board a flight to another city), I called the hotel/resto to explain what had happened and they were very gracious in telling me not to stress over it and to come settle the tab at my convenience. I really appreciated that and will make this one of my "go-to" places for work meetings over coffee (and possibly breakfast or lunch - but I haven't tried this yet).

This is one sexy hotel. From the second you walk up to the building it's service, service, service here. The lobby is dark and cozy with a real wood fireplace and leather seating for while you wait for your rental car to be brought around by the valet. My room wasn't exactly spacious but it didn't feel cramped. The design of the rooms is very modern. Lots of clean lines, simple decor, and everything is very thought through. When I walked into the room I was greeted with music playing, a nice touch. There was a good size wall unit with space to hang everything I needed and stow everything out of sight. It was cool to see the ironing board was built into the unit and just folded out when needed. Probably the best little nuance of the room was that there was an umbrella. It was raining the weekend I was there so it came in handy the one night I went out. The bathroom was very nice. It had the sexiest shower I've ever seen. The shower is essentially in the middle of the room and is glass on two sides. So you're able to see who ever is showering whether you're in the bathroom or the bedroom area of the room. There is blinds that you can close on the bedroom side it you're looking for some privacy. For this particular visit I came with some co-workers the day before a big presentation. The VP had booked a suite so we would have space to work while we put the final touches on our presentation. Unfortunately the suite we were in had temperature issues. It was hot the whole time we were trying to work. After getting someone to come look at the thermostat three times the VP asked to be switched to another room. When he came back from the front desk we were being upgraded to the presidential suite at no extra charge. That's what I call great customer service. The presidential suite is huge as you would probably guess. It has a small kitchen, two living areas, bedroom, two bathrooms, closet area, and is spread out on two floors. There is a real wood fireplace but it didn't seem to be in working order. There is a full entertainment unit with a large flat screen TV and surround sound system. The continental breakfast that is included with your stay is not worth missing. It's more than your average continental breakfast. They have a large array of pastries, cereal, fruit, and some hot options as well. You won't leave hungry from this hotel.

Nice Spacious Rooms and good customer service. The doorman would literally run to open the door for us. There were mints on the pillows and a curtain so you could see into the bathroom (just kinda weird....). The toilet was also in its own private little avant-garde stall in the bathroom. Beds were very comfy. Breakfast was good as well with a nice continental flair. Good location as well, right in the heart of downtown and a nice walk away from the Musee deu Beaux Arts.

Newly renovated! The most amazing staff--so accommodating and caring. Free breakfast is amazing especially for the health conscious. Rooms are gorgeous and clean. I love the chocolate they leave at the bedside. Valet is willing to drive you anywhere. They lend you umbrellas if it rains. Would definitely stay here again!

Spent a long weekend here in January 2017.Great location and fantastic hotel.Less than a five minute walk to Metro.Laid back but professional staff.Room was very comfortable and adequate.Breakfast was very satisfying and pleasant.Concierge , Andre,was a delight to work with. Will certainly be back

VIBE Smart. Sophisticated. Modern. Love it! The location is fantastic - just above Ste. Catherine near the Simon's department store so if you're a shopper, this is ideally located to the main shopping district of Ste. Catherine but you can also hop on the metro up to the main. Concierge and service are spot-on. THE ROOM The room is GREAT. First, we need to talk about the bed because after a long train ride, there's nothing better than having a nice, long sleep on a good bed. And this bed is GOOD. I really appreciated the fact that there are plugs and shelving units on each side of the beds (I was in a double) for wireless devices (smartphones, etc.). Others have mentioned umbrellas. I liked the water. (More than one bottle please for future reference.) Other little things like the fact that they sent me a jar of cookies and a thank you note go a long way. Bathroom is great - another piece of attention to detail as the actual toilet has its own door and feels separate from within the batrhoom. The shower has a blind as well to the glass window facing the room. Great shower and towels. THE RESTAURANT The buffet breakfast is just like the hotel - smart, simple and modern. No fuss. No muss. And a big applause for this being included in the room rate because at other hotels, it's not (and it's expensive!). Laurie Raphael is a whole other review but I think it's one of the most underrated restaurants in the city. You can get a phenomenal three-course prix fixe here and all of the courses are a surprise! So if you're an adventurous eater, this is ideal. Again, service is spot-on and bilingual (as always). OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK If you want a splurgey, sexy Montreal hotel this is one of my top picks.

I loved this hotel. High ceilings, and a spacious, stylish room. I kept telling my partner... I like this... I like this... and then this. Clean lines, hyper modern rooms with a split shower, where, if an interested party wanted to voyeristically watch you bathe, they could do so, while laying on a very comfortable bed. And if you aren't so keen on goose down, they have alternate bedding available upon request. The service was stellar. More towels? 5 minutes you're swimming in towels. You want a ride to the train? Here is our fancy Audi we'll take you over. You want free wifi? Here you go. You want to come back to a room with a bottle of ice wine, soft music and lit up by little floating candles? No problem. The included "continental breakfast" wasn't bad either. Not the vegan friendliest of places obviously, but they had fruit, coffee jams, peanut butter, and DIY toast your own bread station. They have almond milk sometimes, but not during the time we were there, but I appreciated that the server tried to hunt some down for me. I loved all the little details. I also loved how close it was to the Metro and bixi stands, art galleries, and copious amounts of patios.

Details, details, details. One major advantage of staying at a boutique hotel is knowing that they will pay attention details. And this one did as expected. In fact, exceeded our expectations, because of their attention to details. It all started with a HAND-WRITTEN welcoming note in the room upon our arrival. The concierge was extremely helpful and friendly, we enjoyed our conversations with her as much as her recommendations. The helpfulness and friendliness extend to all the staff. Our room was very roomy for a downtown hotel in the price range. The décor was modern but not cliché and overdone. A lot of closet space and outlets, important for all your gadgets. The ironing board is folded inside the closet so it's just neat yet convenient to use. Umbrellas. Such a small thing, but it makes a huge difference to have it handy in the room. Yes, it was raining during our stay and we were so glad that we didn't have to worry about getting wet. It was highly appreciated. Self-served continental breakfast has a bit more variety than expected. I expected that they would only have pastries. But they also have fruits, cereals, yoghurt, crepes, and eggs... A couple of things that they don't have in the hotel, and I could care less about: No coffee machine in the room, but there is a free expresso/cappuccino machine in the lobby. Who wants to use those ugly junky generic coffee machines in the room anyway, they are gross and ugly. No 24-hour room service, only lunch and dinner up to a certain point. So if you just want to pig out all night long in your hotel room in this great food-city, Le Germain is not for you. Tips: We've requested a room with bathtub because some rooms are with a shower only.

An excellent boutique hotel, this (and its sister in Toronto) is the only place I stay when in Montreal. The lobby is a dark and moody with a big fireplace (real wood!), a welcome sight when checking in late at night in the winter. Service is efficient and exceptional. Tastefully appointed rooms, an excellent shower and comfortable beds with goose down comforters will make your stay a pleasant one. Complimentary breakfast is served on the mezzanine level. Wireless Internet and bottle water is also free. Although I have used neither, there is concierge, as well as a local car service.

Eleven of us stayed at Le Germain for a long weekend birthday celebration. Truly one of the best hotel experiences we have had. The rooms were beautiful and well appointed. The breakfast (included with the rooms) was very good and much better than your standard American continental breakfast. The real star though, was Andre, the hotel's expert concierge. He was instrumental in planning activities and making arrangements for us. He recommended amazing restaurants. ALL of the doormen and front desk staff were equally as friendly and happy to help with anything we needed. We put Andre and the rest of the staff through a lot, but they always remained cheerful and happy to assist. This will be the only hotel I will stay at when I am in Montreal. Andre, I hope you never leave Le Germain.

We stayed here for a weekend. It doesn't compare to its sister hotel in Toronto which is very slick and lovely. In Montreal, we were four in a room but kept having to call for more towels because the set up for two people. We registered as 4! The biggest disappointment was the complementary breakfast. When we got to the dining room, there were lots of dirty tables. The buffet was out of certain dishes. By the time someone ungraciously cleaned a table for us, there were no plates left at the buffet!! Didn't make sense why a hotel of this stature doesn't have staff to assure there's plenty of clean tables and plates? The staff treated seemed annoyed with us for creating extra work. The bed and lobby and staff were fine. But since there's lots of hotels in Montreal, I'll stay somewhere else next time.

Yelp

This hotel is fantastic. Beautiful, incredibly spacious and well designed room. Upscale furnishings and amenities. Convenient location. Super helpful staff. Quite a good breakfast buffet (try the peanut butter!), as well - and it's included! One of the best "boutique-style" hotel experiences I can remember. It reminded us of a Kimpton hotel, only better. Glad we stayed here (room 905, fwiw). Only nit: once you leave the lobby area, the wifi is very spotty - free, but just-barely usable, in our experience.

This place is a fabulous little gem in Montreal. The rooms are chic and perfectly minimalistic. I love the detail of the full glass wall in our bathroom that made the room seem much more ample. The staff here was so pleasant and helpful. The front desk helped us pick the best night spots and shopping spots. The location is really close to all the restaurants and bars. In fact when i asked for a cab one of the hotel valets was not busy and drove me to the restaurant with a hotel vehicle! The breakfast here was also delicious. I have stayed both here and at the W and found my stay here much more pleasant. While both are on par status wise i found Le Germain more appealing and relaxed. Of course the W offers more of an exterior wow factor and a trendy bar on site. But overall my experience at Le Germain more pleasant. I definitely recommend it!

A wonderful gem of a hotel. Found it by accident when our other choices were booked, and I'm glad we did. Close to many wonderful things downtown in walking distance and via the nearby metro, with a helpful concierge (who did the impossible and found us a great restaurant on Thanksgiving night!). Very nice vibe, peaceful and private. Lots of nice touches in the decor, far more beautiful inside than the brutalist edifice would suggest. Some confusion when the Francophone housekeeper would come by in the evening to give us more (complementary!) water and ice, but we figured it out eventually. I am surprised that the breakfast is getting bad reviews. We thought it was wonderful. Tasty croissants, delicious jams, cold cuts, traditional cretons, omelette, juice, plenty of coffee. I only wish there was a mini-fridge to put goodies in for lunch from the Jean-Talon market. Would definitely return!

This is one of the best hotels I've stayed at. Right when you walk in the door the great service begins. Andre the concierge was wonderful. He let us know they were expecting us and offered us drinks right away. He and all the staff were very kind and helpful for the 3 nights we stayed. The room and bathroom was very nice and modern. We were in a group and had several rooms. We had a great stay here. Highly recommended!!

This was my second encounter with Le Germain, the other being in Quebec City, and it was as great as the first. This is my standard for a hotel. It isn't big but it has personality and detailed service. Anytime I'm in Canada, Le Germain earned my business. Breakfast was included in our room as well as wifi which is really nice because I hate being nickle and dimed at places. The breakfast was good enough, nothing made to order but the choices they have are suitable. Nice bread, nice coffee, fruit, yogurt... etc. Not your Days Inn continental breakfast for sure. Rooms are fantastic. High celings, closets, big shower, water closet, flat screen TV, GREAT bed, nice furniture, modern lighting. Concierge service was good, picked a great restaurant for us to go to. My only complaint would be the TV channel choices and definition because it was very grainy but I wasn't there to watch TV.

Yelp

On the outside the Hotel Le Germain is an ugly concrete box, the kind of eye sore that stands out in contrast to the beautiful architecture throughout Montreal. But as we've all learned, it's what is on the inside that counts. On the inside is a great modern, boutique hotel. There's an European-style espresso machine in the lobby. The rooms are a mix of concrete and wood, the minimal styling makes them feel spacious and chic. The staff are friendly and helpful. The croissants in the complimentary breakfast are pretty good too. The Le Germain is located in the heart of the Centre-ville area, which isn't the most exciting area once the sun sets, but let's be real, Montreal is a safe walking city, so the hotel is actually quite convenient to wherever you want to go. The hotel is right across the street from McGill, a short walk from either the Peel or McGill Metro stations and a Bixi dock.

Montreal will always have a special spot in my heart and Hotel Le Germain, by suggestion, will be remembered for creating a scene. It may be my love of dark accented in leather. Or it could be the hot split shower where your water works voyeuristic needs are perfectly executed. Perfect for pleasure seekers.... I like display. Put it right in front of my face. Then we'll check out.

This hotel was the "splurge" part of a recent trip. Le Germain is not cheap, but we felt it was worth it. The location is central (close to the McGill campus and downtown) and within walking distance of the train station (12 minutes, and that was with construction). The outside of the building is nothing special, but the inside, especially the rooms, are lovely. Four of us were sharing a room and we found there was plenty of space for all of us. The toilet has its own separate area which was particularly appreciated. Breakfast is included in the price. It's not an extensive selection, but my somewhat fussy family was happy with it. Breakfast includes bagels, bread, croissants (plain and chocolate), French toast, omelette, fresh fruit, cereal, cheese, kale smoothies, and salad. One of the things we appreciated were the little extras: the umbrella and kettle (not just a coffee machine) in the room, the cappuccino machine and complimentary tea in the lobby, having proper hangers in the rooms, and the complimentary cocktail the evening we arrived. The staff were fantastic and I would happily stay there again.

One of the best hotel experiences I've ever had! I stayed one night for a business trip at Hotel Le Germain in downtown Montreal this past Wednesday night, and everything from the service to the room was literally impeccable. I pack almost always way too light for trips, so of course I would forget a toothbrush, toothpaste, and some lotion. I called the front desk, and they were at my door step within 2 minutes with a plentiful of each said item. The room was super modern, and although not particularly large, was overly compensated with the well thought out and purposeful design and attention to detail. The blinds on the floor to floor windows match the blinds that separate the bathroom from the bedroom - and there is a separate door for the actual toilet itself, which is a nice touch ;). And omg, don't get me started on the towels... I could swim in them... They're literally like 90000000 thread count, if that's even possible. The room is made with mixed mediums of wood, concrete, and marble. The feel is so goddamn sexy and modern. I feel sexy just sitting there staring at my phone. Also, free contential breakfast one level above the lobby ain't half bad!! Highly recommended, and will def come back the next time I'm in Montreal.

Charming boutique hotel in the heart of Montreal. Nice personable service but what really shines is its slick design. The rooms are a perfect use of space (never understood the need for giant hotel rooms), with a glass shower stall surrounded in wood slats that really makes the room seem airy and light. They do a great job with little details, like housekeeping turning the radios to classical music so you are greeted with quiet music playing when you return to your room to fantastic Molton Brown products (giant bottles!) in the bathroom. I also appreciated the proper power bar in the wall at the desk, which allowed me to plug in my ever growing collections of devices without needing to unplug a lamp/radio. Free, EASILY ACCESSED (take note other hotels) WIFI made it all the more enjoyable. It was a nice bed, but my giant head crushed the feather pillows. I must remember to inquire about a memory foam pillow like I have at home when I visit a hotel. Great cool place to stay when you are visiting Montreal.

I had a great experience at this hotel. The in-room coffee is a Nespresso machine - Fabulous coffee! The in-room tea is from a Montreal company called David's Teas - amazing new flavors plus traditional ones. My 16 year old daughter loved that there was a WC in the bathroom, meaning that there was a little room with a door for the actual toilet. The front desk, valet and bell men were very courteous and helpful (they got me extra Nespresso capsules). And the breakfast buffet (included with our room) had a wonderful variety of food. And the last thing that I loved about this hotel is that there was a coffee machine in the lobby with options for cappuccino, lattes, mochas, hot chocolate, etc. Also, there was a large selection of David's Teas next to the machine. We were in Montreal on a college tour to visit McGill and it was very conveniently located to the university, as well as within walking distance of shopping and tourist attractions.

I stayed with my girlfriends for a girls' trip this summer and we had a great time!!! Located in downtown was very convenient, with a walk or a short cab ride away from many attractions and restaurants. The front desk staff and concierge, specifically Jonathan and Andre, really made our trip memorable! Everyone was comfortable speaking to us in both English and French. They always greeted us with a smile and offered many helpful suggestions on how to make the best of our day. Andre got to know our taste in a very short time and then made awesome suggestions for our dinners. The room was modern and well layed out with a large bathroom and separate toilet room - great for sharing with a girlfriend. The only issue we had was the drilling taking place in an adjacent parking lot, at night, but it was no fault of the hotel's - the city had given the construction company the permit to drill at night - go figure! Le Germain actually offered to put us up at another hotel, but we declined since we really liked the staff. I would definitely consider staying here again!
