“Near Perfection”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

Myself and a group of my friends booked the Bonaparte for New Year's eve, 2013, and could not be more pleased with our decision.

Booking - I phoned to book the room ahead of time from Ontario. The woman on the phone was extremely polite and helpful. She was aware of the location of nearby events and activities and even made me aware of a discount I was eligible for when booking my hotel. (CAA members get $10 off per night.) Booking was easy and convenient and I was promptly sent an email confirmation.

Check in - We arrived just before midnight due to a late drive from Ontario. Naturally we were in a mad, rushed panick when arriving (and slightly drunk too!) and the reception was very understanded, acted quickly to get our rooms set up and rushed through check-in so that our New Years was not ruined. It was very considerate and we weren't given any attitude whatsoever.

Rooms - We had a single King bed room and a double queen bed room. Both were absolutely gorgeous with 13 foot high ceilings, colonial pane glass windows, original gold plated door fittings... it was a truly historical feel all around. Also, the rooms were equiped with all the luxuries of today: flat screen TV, comfortable bed and double person jacuzzi tubs. I was in awe.

Service - Impecible. Somebody was always available at the front desk. They even went as far as to bring us cokes to our room when we were thirsty around 3am and didnt even charge it to our room! We loved the hotel so much, we stayed an extra day and got the rooms discounted at $50 per.

Perks - The hotel also hosts the Bonaparte restaurant which is among the top ten in all of Montreal. They offer a very generous complimentary breakfast every morning that is a la carte and allows you to choose a variety of delicious options from your traditional eggs/bacon/toast to omelletes made any way. This also includes yoghurt, fresh baked croissants, orange juice, ect.

Also, this hotel is a 2 minute walk from the Notre Dame Cathedral! A must see

Overall, I can not give this hotel anything less than a 5 star rating. The staff really made it worthwhile though. Multiple times I found myself engaged in conversations with the knowledgable staff about the history of old montreal, or the architecture of the buildings there. Everyone was professional and polite and willing to go the extra mile to make my stay enjoyable and for this reason I will certainly return to this hotel the next time I visit old Montreal!

“Elegance & romance in the heart of Old Montreal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

My husband and I spent 4 days at this lovely hotel 17 -21 December. We had the suite and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The bar And restaurant downstairs were an added bonus, being that we visited in the middle of winter and it was snowing quite often,, the welcoming warm restaurant was far too tempting for us! A great location for sightseeing just around the corner from Notre Dame Basilica which ran a laser light history's show in the evenings, and the Montreal Sympony performed there also during our stay. The staff very very helpful, the food excellent. We enjoyed wonderful breakfasts which are included in the room rate, and tried most of the extensive menu during our visit. A charming traditional venue in a beautiful romantic city.

Room Tip: We had the suite and it was great

“Quaint and Perfect for Pre-Cruise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

We stayed at the lovely Auberge Bonaparte for 2 nights before our Canadian cruise last June. It was perfect. The room was lovely, with an exposed brick wall overlooking the garden and of course, the Notre Dame was just around the corner. We found this to be a great location for exploring Vieux Montreal on foot.

Breakfast was wonderful, unhurried and European. We sat at the table in the window which is perfect for people watching while we planned our morning in Vieux Montreal. And the service was impeccable. If you enjoy boutique hotels with character and charm, this is the place for you.

I would definitely recommend this to friends

Room Tip: overlooking the garden on the back of the inn

“Hard to beat in Vieux-Montréal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 30, 2012

Booked it as a Christmas present, a few hours drive north. Stayed three days. The city is covered in snow; traffic is crawling and it is freezing (12F)--but still lovely. The Bonaparte location is superb: around the corner to Notre Dame Cathedral; a short walk down the hill to Rue St. Paul and which winds through all of the Old City landmarks and shops. Our room is small, as expected, but charming, with a comfortable shower/bath and one wall of exposed brick. The large windows provided a welcome flood of afternoon winter sun when we returned from a long walk in the bitter cold. As many have noted, the room price includes breakfast--which has been delicious. The hotel restaurant is well rated and cozy. The staff has been as helpful as any we have experienced. Every time we came back from a walk, my wife would say: “We’ve got to come back here in the spring.” It’s that good.

“Best choice in Vieux Montreal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

We stayed here for two nights in Spring. They had unseasonal snow, which just made eating in the breakfast dining room extra special. The little bay windows are the perfect place to look out onto this gorgeous street while eating very good croissants. The room was spacious and the staff very friendly.
