“Decent Boutique - but”

Le Germain Hotel

3 of 5 stars
New York City, New York

3/8 found this review helpful

Although the hotel is nice and in a pretty good location, I give it a 3 overall.

First, the pros: nice modern decor - minimalistic without feeling cold. The rooms, while small, were pretty well appointed, and the bathrooms were nice too. Some might think the see-through shower is gimmicky, but we thought it was cool. And the location was good - in downtown, just a few blocks away from the nicest area of town with good shopping and restaurants.

While everything was OK, I can't say it was great. I don't have any service horror stories, but it was overall underwhelming. Here are a few examples:
- We emailed the concierge in advance for specific restaurant recommendations. They emailed me back with a standard list (which is on their web site) instead of having anything specific
- At breakfast (which was free with the room), someone came over to me and said "Some people are asking about what your room number is". I don't know if this was a language issue, but it sounded as if they thought I walked in off the street.
- The maid's cart sat in the hallway outside our room for most of a day. Can't they get their work done
- They only provide 2 towels, so when we were leaving to go out for dinner, we requested that they turn the room and replenish the mini-bar. Despite our request, they did neither.
- The workout room is pretty pathetic...we paid 20 bucks to use the MAA sports club a few blocks away
- After the 1st day, they never replenished those green apples that they make such a big deal about in the hallway on our floor.

One other note - I didn't like the city of Montreal at all. Very seedy and industrial looking, blocks either felt touristy or desolate. Many people had told me it has a "European" feel - I am guessing these people had never been to Europe and are just impressed by French accents. You're better off spending a weekend in Boston or Philly.

If you have to go to Montreal, though, I would suggest staying at the Loews Vogue if you want something more modern, or the Ritz Carlton if you want something more elegant and classic. They both seem a bit nicer with a slightly better location and have free access to the MAA sports club.

“Outstanding Hotel, Great Service”

Le Germain Hotel

Sep 1, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We recently stayed at Le Germain in Montreal as part of a "mini honeymoon". The rooms are stylish and welcoming, soft classical music is playing when you enter. It has a very modern feel. The beds are to die for, we didn't want to ever wake up and get on with our day. The buffet breakfast is decent as far as buffets go.

Service from all staff we encountered was exceptional. They were very helpful in recommendations of places to eat and recommended a great sushi place just around the corner from the hotel.

We can't wait to stay there again!

“Bigger isn't always better”

Le Germain Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Toronto, Canada
Jun 21, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

I picked this hotel because it was right next to the Montreal location of my office, so it provided a convenient start for my weekend business turned personal vacation. This bite sized hotel is very nicely decorated, very modern and sleek. The room we had was huge, with a very large bed, lots of windows (although not much view), and a chaise to relax on (or throw your clothes on, which is what ended up happening). The bathroom is fully stocked with Aveda products, which is a nice touch, and three gorgeous apples are always waiting by the elevators on each floor. Guests are welcome to help themselves and they are magically replenished. Breakfast was included, so we started each morning at the buffet. Terrific selection of breads, hot items, cold items, fruit, juices, coffee etc., did not disappoint. There was a metro stop just around the corner, so it was easy to get around from there, or a short walk would bring you to some great shopping destinations and restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet, boutique hotel as a tranquil place to rest up after a day exploring the city, I would highly recommend the Germain.

“great hotel”

Le Germain Hotel

Aug 24, 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

stayed there a few weeks back for one night - very nice hotel - very clean - both the rooms we had were excellent - good size bedroom - big seperate bathroom - everything worked - staff were fine - great location for everything - maybe a little far to walk to Blvd St Laurent, but doable - would recommend crescent street for a good time, especially Newtown - nice and relaxed - only thing i would strongly recommend though is go with your partner - when you see the shower you'll understand why!

“So nice”

Le Germain Hotel

Aug 21, 2006
6/6 found this review helpful

My husband and I spent two lovely nights at this hotel. I'm typically not the type to like modern style hotels. I like the “cushiness” that comes with more opulent hotels so I wasn’t sure what to expect at Le Germain.

It was modern and cool and hip and simple and very very well done. It was clean and posh. The breakfast was just okay; it’s included in the cost of the room so no big complaints.

The service was great.

I loved that they were generous with the bottled water in the room and by the door.

The location was perfect for walking to so many different places.
