We have just returned from a week-end in old Montreal. We had reserved a room at the Auberge and paid extra for a river view. A view, in my mind, would mean that you would have a clear view of the river but unless you were on the fourth or fifth floor this was not the case. The hotel is at a great location... close to shops and pubs and the service was phenomenal but do not get the package that includes a four course meal. First of all you do not get to choose the four courses and the majority of the meal was inedible. The ceviche was more like sashimi, the lobster ravioli was terrible and the fois gras was fois gras. The only thing that saved the meal was the filet mignon... it was delicious. But I could have saved money and eaten a better meal elsewhere.

We stayed at the Auberge du Vieux-Port for two nights while in Montreal as part of our Honeymoon. The Front Desk staff was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. They also gave us some information regarding things to do around Montreal.

The hotel is only 27 rooms and our room had everything we needed. It appears to be kept up well and probably had been renovated in the last few years. You also receive a ticket for each night's wine and cheese reception in the bar. The location of the hotel is very central to the older part of Montreal and makes it very accessible to the city.

Overall the hotel staff is very accommodating. The only issues we had were trying to get their wifi to work with a code that they provide. I had to call the front desk numerous times to get a new code and finally gave up. Also, check your bill when you leave as they charged me for both nights even though I had already paid a deposit in advance when I booked for the first night (which it does not tell you on their website when you book, it was the next day I received an email saying they would charge me the one-night deposit).

While our directions from Expedia left us in the middle of somewhere and we had to call someone at 2am at home to get proper directions we arrived quite weary. The doorman was not there, but the front desk clerk was more than happy to assist us with our luggage.
The room was warm and roomy. The windows were huge which provided us with much sunshine and a great view. The wood floors were a nice touch. We were there during the coldest week in Jan. many of the shops and restaurants were closed until April.
The staff was more than happy to assist at any moment, especially with dining recommendations. Mattieu, the doorman, went out of his way for us many times, to call a taxi or bring us something that we left in the car.
The cheeses at the wine reception were excellent as were the breakfasts. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
The location is easily accesible to any area of Old Montreal and Montreal.
