My husband and I recently stayed at The Saint-Sulpice for the first time. It is a lovely hotel situated in Old Montreal. We arrived quite late on a Sunday night in March, and our car was quickly unloaded and we were settled in our suite within minutes.
The beautiful entrance and lobby of the hotel was quite large, with several different seating areas scattered throughout the area. One of the groupings was extra special with a cozy fireplace.
All the rooms at the hotel, are basicaly suites. They are a generous size and very comfortable and homey, well designed and nicely decorated. You can tell a lot of thought went into making their guests as content as possible.
The entrance to our suite was a good size. It had a place for our boots and shoes and the usual type closet. What made it really stand out, was the entrance also had a little table with two chairs which I really liked and thought was such a nice touch. It was different to have a sitting area in the entrance and it was one of the things I liked most about our suite. Once we walked past the entrance, we noticed a small counter top stove and a little fridge and all the necessary cooking accessories (in an overhead cabinet) we would need if we decided to cook in our room. The livingroom was quite pretty, it had a sofa...My husband and I recently stayed at The Saint-Sulpice for the first time. It is a lovely hotel situated in Old Montreal.

Once we walked past the entrance, we noticed a small counter top stove and a little fridge and all the necessary cooking accessories (in an overhead cabinet) we would need if we decided to cook in our room. The livingroom was quite pretty, it had a sofa and a comfty leather chair, a few accent tables and lamps and an electric fireplace across from the sofa. Also, in the liviingroom area there was a desk with a chair where you could sit and make phone calls or use your computer. Next to the desk there was a set of patio doors opening onto a balcony. For obvious reasons we didn't even open the doors, unless we wanted to have a mountain of snow in our room! I am sure in the summer it would be wonderful!
The suites have a separate bedroom with french doors, which I felt really added to the character of the space. There were two large television sets (not flat screen, not that it mattered to us, but I know it is important to some travellers that is why I mention it), one in the livingroom and one on the bedroom.
There are a few features that made this hotel stand out. The first that I found so useful was the two closets in the bedroom. It was so handy that we could have our own closet , and it made it so much easier to unpack and everything was then at our fingertips. The bedroom also had a dresser with large drawers, that again served a very useful purpose. It was great to have a portable telephone in the bedroom. Actually, come to think of it this was the first hotel we ever stayed in that had portable phones.
The powder room was quite large, well lit, super clean, with a big shower, big bathtub, lovely sink area and a full length mirror on the back of the door. One of the walls had a few small, built in glass shelves, where we put our incidentals. There were bathrobes provided, a hairdryer and wonderful L'Occitane products that were restocked daily. I didn't really like the towels....when I go to a hotel I find white towels look so crisp and clean and the towels here were beige. I realize it may seem petty, but it is just a personal preference. Colour aside, I have very sensitive skin and I found the towels, were a little on the ruff side. I am quite sure they were high quality towels, however I did want to mention it as I know it is that kind of information that I find helpful when reading reviews. If we stay here again I would bring a towel from home. And really I should have brought my own to begin with, it completely slipped my mind. I do want to make it clear though, If you don't have sensitive skin you will be fine with the towels.
The only complaint, was one morning there was no hot water. I realize this can happen anywhere, but since we were not informed about the problem, we found out the hard way. A simple note under the door, or a message left on the telephone would have been greatly appreciated. And when I called down to ask if there was something wrong with the hot water, I found the reception could have been a little nicer. The hot water was off most of the day, by the next morning it was working again. The following day we were left a note of apology in our room with 4 chocolates. If we would have been told about the problem, I probably wouldn't even be mentioning it right now. A little customer relations when problems such as that arise, I find goes a long way.
We found the hotel staff for the most part very professional, the concierge desk and valets were very helpful and friendly, and the housekeeping staff did an excellent job and even left us little notes in our room thanking us for the tip we left her, which I thought was so nice.
Because of the terrific amount of snow while we were in the city, we could not take advantage of the great location of the hotel. If the weather would have co-operated we could have walked to many places. We did walk to the Basilica and to a few restaurants nearby. I am certain in the warmer months it would be an ideal location. The area surrounding the hotel seemed very quaint, and a few times we saw horse drawn carriages going by the hotel.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay at the Saint-Sulpice and we would not hesitate to go back. I would like to thank fellow Trip Advisor member JDP112456 for suggesting this hotel, and in turn I feel comfortable recommending this hotel to other travellers.
