one star and that's flattering, hotel ----- the big one. service is non existant, rooms are cold feeling and lack any type of humanity, the front desk staff are beyond stupid and the wonderbar is wonderless, felt like i was at a bad airport lounge, if you need to stay here do yourself a favour and don't ... even the food is beyond abismal, inward looking rooms make you feel like a caged animal, Montreal can do so much better.

Ok, if you don't need walls in your bathroom, it'll be fine.My husband was mortified that the bathroom didn't have a wall, but was completely open into the bedroom. There is a door on the toilet, and then a curtain seperating the bedroom from the bath area. Other than that our friend had only one window in his Wonderful room which was on an inside courtyard that faced a business building. He felt he was in a tomb.And that's what it did feel like. Never an ounce of sun.
Our room was big and faced the front of the building, so quite nice. The spa was absolutly wonderful and the masusse was a gem! I went back 2 days in a row, plus a really great facial.
The bar is trendy and fun, like you would expect.
It's cool, but watch out that you get a view on the park (as they say). Plus you're right next to the historical area, which is nice.

Wonderful staff, but because of trying to be too hip, this Hotel falls short.
Fancy "mood" lighting in the room was the worst I've ever experienced in travels all over the World. Could barely see in the bathroom and the room itself was not too much better. By the way, the bathroom was separated by a curtain, no door and the towels had no nap whatsoever.
The "mood" music all over the Hotel was too loud (even in the elevators).
I'm not a complainer, just reporting my observations. As I said, however, extremely nice, courteous staff. I personally would not recommend this Hotel.

W Hotels in general are for those who like interior design, lounging, staying at a trendy location - and willing to pay for that. The one in Montréal is a good example: great design, colours, style, furniture, small detail, public spaces etc - really nice and unique. The room was great and more than suitable for a longer stay. Great attention to all details. Staff at the reception was very friendly but at times not really able to cope with the cue of people waiting to be serviced. The internet connection in the rooms is overpriced (20-25 CAD) and not even very fast. All in all a great place to be and definitely a good occasion to try and live in modern, urban surroundings - before you consider redecorating your own home!
