Montreal Travel Forum

we currently have reservations for "hotel auberge universel" for our vacation located sherbrooke street east opposite the olympic stadium. does anyone have any knowledge of this hotel? it was recommended to us by my sister-in-law who does live in montreal. however, recently my husband read some reviews of this place that are making us nervous about our reservations. last year we had a horrible hotel experience while staying in boston and we don't want another one! thanks to anyone who can provide any insight!

I have looked at the reviews and they are a bit grotty. But I noticed one particularly negative one appeared at least three times on 3 different websites - so s/he may just have had an angry exchange with the Receptionist/manager whoever!

Should you think of swapping we stayed at

and were very satisfied.
It was not a short walk into town but we never did it other than on foot and it was lovely to have the Park opposite in for a bit of shade and greenery.

The hotel is ok really. I've stayed there a couple of times and had no complaints. However, if you're there to visit Montreal, I would suggest something closer to downtown. The location is not that great unless you're going to the Olympic Stadium.

Thanks, Hollyberry, for you Comment on my HP.
Please write up your Montreal Tip - whichever hotel you decide on - and have a great time ! It is a lovely city.

Hi! I've stayed at this hotel a couple times before and had a nice stay, so I don't think you've anything to worry about. I agree with Pomerol, however, in that the location isn't the best. Of course it's possible to travel downtown by metro, but it isn't quite the same as actually staying downtown. So just in case, here's the link to another hotel I've stayed at and liked in downtown Montreal (http://www.hotelxixsiecle.com/). Have a nice trip!
