Boxotel

The room was amazing. The bed was very comfortable and I had restful sleeps, the fully equipped kitchen was really useful and the spa like bathroom with the incredible products allowed me to pamper myself.I enjoyed the rooftop jacuzzi with a view of Montreal and the spa was so soothing. Well located in downtown Montreal, it was a short walk from cafés, restaurants and shops. The staff was friendly and they made sure that I felt at home away from home.

Despite only having stayed one night, I was made to feel right at home in an unfamiliar city. Carlos was warm and welcoming, the check-in process was super efficient, and the building itself is a quiet refuge only a short walking distance away from a metro station and many highly-rated restaurants and attractions. On your way out be sure to chat with Boxie the rescue dove and take advantage of the outstanding morning coffee service, which they undersell. There's not a huge spread compared to a continental breakfast at a chain hotel, but what is set out, i.e. organic artisanal biscuits, fresh fruit, third wave coffee, a selection of fine teas, etc. reflects that no expense was spared for quality. I did not expect such a minor thing to be a highlight, but it just goes to show how much thought and care the owners put into the details. My hands were full with breakfast heading back to my room, and there was even a tiny ledge next to the door on which I could set down my coffee! I couldn't imagine staying anywhere other than Boxotel on future trips to Montreal. My only regret is not having had time to enjoy the top floor amenities, i.e. the sauna, gym, and hot tub.The room was impeccably clean, warmly intimate, extraordinarily well-equipped, and the design was right out of an architectural magazine. Highlights for me included the heated bathroom floor, rainfall showerhead, bathtub with bath salts, and a bed that was sublime to sink into after a long journey. On my way out I also purchased as souvenirs a few exquisitely made, hotel-branded ceramic pieces by Montreal potier Benoit Daigle, who produces the dinnerware and coffee cups/mugs for the rooms. Just another great touch by Boxotel to ensure that eating in would not be any sort of compromise.

I had a very nice stay ! The room was lovely and well equipped. I had to book another night very last minute and everyone was very nice and accommodating. Definitely will come back !

The self check in was a nightmare. Carlos was fantastic. The hot tubs need repair / updating and needed to be warmer, but with minor improvements this hotel could get a higher rating.We were charged 250 security deposits for having wine in the hot tub, which I didn't know was against the rules and no one called to warn us. The charge only showed up after I left a four star review.I probably stay in about 6 hotels a month, and this is the first hotel I would never step foot back into.

We loved our stay in Montreal, in large part due to the comfort and quiet luxury of Boxotel. It was a wonderful place to come back to after long days of walking around and exploring the nearby neighborhoods. All the accomodations were top notch, it was great having access to a kitchenette and w/d in our room, and the soaking in the bathtub after a long day was the cherry on top.In the mornings there was an array of delicious yogurt, coffee/espresso, fruit, and pastries in the lobby. The rooftop and gym were also a well equipped and cared for. During the day we parked in the public lot across the street, as we were coming and going; and at night we moved our car to the underground Indigo garage around the corner for a reasonable fee. Highly recommended and Carlos was so hospitable and helpful.

This hotel went beyond our expectations! Our airbnb was surprisingly disappointing so we booked this last minute. Staffed by kindest and friendliest people (with sweet pups in their office that are happy to say hello for a pet if you’re interested)!Our room was clean, quiet, unique, and creative. We loved the smart home features and felt like everything was very well thought out with features like heated flooring, memory foam mattress, and even an entire kitchen. The shower was modernized and so comfortable. The details were above and beyond compared to the standard hotel room.

A Scandinavian spa-like experience that my husband and I are still talking about, weeks later. The gentleman on-site named Carlos was available even over Christmas and was super friendly and accommodating throughout our stay, the self check-in was simple, the free morning coffee was delicious and we were able to do laundry, a load in the dishwasher and cook a homemade meal all in the comfort of our room. The rooftop spa was the absolute cherry on top, and we will definitely be back in the summertime.

Really nothing to complain about. This is the way a boutique hotel should be! Great staff and the rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed with delightful touches. Spa room is also great and you can do self check in. Most of the time we never saw or heard any other guests during our stay even in the holiday season, which was amazing. I would be very curious to hear what mattress and bedding they use as it was one of the best I've experienced in a hotel.

We were lucky enough to have nearly a 2 week stay recently at Boxotel and could not have been happier with our stay - it was perfect! Our room was beautifully designed - with so much thought gone into providing such a high level of practical comfort. Everywhere is spotless. The roof terrace, hot tub, and gym are wonderful - such a lovely way to relax. Carlos could not be a nicer manager - so kind, helpful and really genuinely concerned that you are having a good stay. The location is great in a really cool, yet central, arty neighbourhood. And then just all the little extras - the hotel bird greeting us, the lovely plants in reception, delicious cookies and coffee every morning - there is nothing that is less than perfect about this hotel!

This was my first visit to Montreal and my first solo trip and I couldn't have picked a better hotel. It's in a cozy neighborhood where it's easy to get around by walking or biking. My room was cozy and immediately became my home away from home. I appreciated the amenities and the balcony. After a long day of exploring, I'd haul my sore, tired body up to the rooftop for a soak in the hot tub and a sauna session. The bed was incredibly comfortable. I got fruit, tea, and a scone every morning from the little breakfast/coffee/tea bar. The staff was friendly and helpful when I cut my finger and needed a bandaid before a tour I was going on. I liked the high-tech features and how customizable the space was. I highly recommend this adorable, quiet hotel.
