We choose this property via the Montreal tourism web site's Sweet Deal Promotion, but cross checked available properties here on Trip Advisor.

We were very pleased overall with the property, the service, the room and the food (the hotel serves a complimentary breakfast with choice of entree and access to buffet for guests). We would stay here again without question and would recommend it to our friends.

Of note: This part of Montreal has heavy pedestrian traffic and is busy at night, which is part of its charm. Our stay began on a weeknight and ran into the weekend. The increase in noise from the street was significant on Saturday night. Our room was located on the third floor, which more or less negated this problem, and if you are sensitive to noise, you might want to try and get a room on an upper level. While there are train tracks nearby, we found that the train itself was a non-issue, even with our windows wide open.

We had a loft at Vieux-Port. The lofts seem to be housed in buildings separate from the hotel. The loft was very spacious, with kitchen, washer/dryer, living area, two tvs, etc. Be aware that you may have to walk up several flights of stairs for the lofts. Their employee Christian was very helpful. We did have a problem with the Internet in the loft; there was no wireless and we were given an ethernet cord so short (18 in. long) that we could not even put our computer on the desk nearest the internet port. Good location in old Montreal.

My wife and I visited Montreal for a long weekend getaway and chose the Auberge du Vieux-Port after a quick web search. The hotel consists of five separate buildings, located along the riverside in Old Montreal.

We chose a loft apartment, which was clean and well equipped with large windows looking out onto the street. As some reviewers have mentioned, the lofts are not brand new or designer chic, but they are very cosy and comfortable, like a well lived in apartment, with lots of exposed brick and timber floors. The kitchen was roomy and well-equipped, although we didn't use it as the local restaurants are excellent. Like most New Zealanders we don't speak a word of French, but the hotel staff were unfailingly friendly and helpful.

If you are staying in Old Montreal, it's well worth renting a bicycle and cycling along the riverside. There are over 300km of bike tracks throughout the city and it's a great way to look around.

We had a great stay at the Auberge and recommend it to anyone visiting Montreal.

My wife and I stayed for two nights in early April and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Room furnishings, desk service, bathrooms etc. were all excellent, but it was a few extra touches with which we were most impressed.

First, there is a wine and cheese between 5:00 and 7:00, which was lovely. Guests get a free glass of wine and can nibble on brie and gouda served with fresh baguette.

Also, guests get free breakfast. Not "continental", as is the norm, but hot, cooked, from-a-menu breakfast.

Overall, this hotel was a big part of a perfect weekend.
