Our room was on the 16th floor at the back of the hotel with a fantastic view over the city (especially magical when we returned at night). We had booked a classic room for our 2 night stay but it was really spacious. We opened a set of double doors expecting it to be another wardrobe and to our delight discovered a kitchenette with coffee/tea maker, microwave, fridge, sink and cupboard space - ideal if you wanted to eat a meal in the room. There was a small table and chairs by the window which made it more comfortable. We only made use of this facility once (for breakfast) but it was useful to have. N.B. You have to ask on Reception for cutlery. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to providing city and metro maps. Although the location was near to shops and restaurants the rue du Fort itself was not at all noisy. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Bonaventure metro station and a very short and reasonably priced taxi ride to the VIA rail station where we took the train to Quebec City.

A small group of friends and I stayed at the Hotel Du Fort in Montreal over Memorial Day Weekend. Check in was smooth as the front desk clerk was very polite and quick with the check in process. My initial hopes of the hotel was extremely high as the lobby seemed to have a semi- luxurious feel to it as the hotel website portrays. Unfortunately, upon checking into my room my expectations of a luxurious stay were let down somewhat. The room which I believe was the next in line upgrade over a standard room was large enough in design and very clean, but lacked any luxury features I expected from what the hotel website photos portrayed. My biggest let down was there was only one picture on the wall and a 80‘s type feel to the d?cor and wall paper. Fortunately, after the initial let down the rest of the stay was pleasant. The hotel staff always smiled when walking by the front desk or passing in hall , and always asked if there was anything they could do for me or my friends. As for room comfort the beds were comfortable and the AC worked great. The bathroom was large enough and the shower although a bit dated was very clean and worked well. The location of the hotel could not be better as we were close to all the nightlife and restaurants of Rue Crescent and short cab ride away from Rue St-Laurent. Overall if you do not expect luxury standards and value cleanliness location and friendly employees you will enjoy your stay at Hotel DuFort.

To celebrate my wife's birthday, we decided to plan a weekend trip to Montreal, and booked our stay at the Hotel du Fort. This was our first stay at this particular hotel and we were most happy with our choice. The staff from the Front Desk person to the housekeepers we met each morning in the hallways, were always quick with a warm smile and a hello, and made us feel very welcomed. Our room, while not the largest we've stayed in was clean, modern, and well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel du Fort and would not hesitate to recommend this particular inn to other travellers.

From we arrived at the hotel, we were made to feel welcome and special by the front desk staff. During our stay, the front desk staff were always relaxed, accommodating and friendly. As I was not familiar with Montreal, they gave us good tips on where to go, where to eat, where to shop, etc. Kathleen and I particularly enjoyed the buffet breakfast as I am a picky eater. The room was huge and the bathroom clean and of the average size so it seems smaller by comparison with the huge room.
