Chateau Versailles, a 65-room, upper-middle-range boutique hotel on Sherbrooke Street, an elegant thoroughfare known for its historic mansions, is a 15- to 20-minute walk from downtown Montreal. Comprising four historic townhouses, the hotel is filled with fireplaces, ceiling friezes, and antiques, and its traditional guest rooms come with Keurig coffeemakers and minibars, but some show wear and tear, and the free Wi-Fi connection is spotty. The free breakfast buffet includes fresh croissants, and the hotel has a small gym and sauna but no bar or full-service restaurant. Guests seeking more modern accommodations closer to downtown could try the similarly priced Hilton Garden Montreal Centre-Ville.

Hotel Chez Swann is a three-pearl boutique in downtown Montreal, close to several attractions and the McGill University campus. Its 23 elegant, contemporary guest rooms feature colorful, artsy decor with lavish beds and peek-a-boo showers. They lack coffee- and tea-making facilities and minibars, but do have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel offers a decent set of features, including an on-site restaurant, juice bar, free breakfast, and a tiny spin studio. The W Montreal is a good alternative in the area that also has peek-a-boo bathrooms, as well as three bars, a spa, and a better equipped gym -- but in-room Wi-Fi incurs a charge and rooms aren't soundproofed.

The 205-room Hotel Espresso is a value hotel on the edge of downtown Montreal that attracts travelers on a budget. It offers a seasonal outdoor pool and a decently equipped fitness center, as well as a restaurant -- though some report poor food quality. Guest rooms are a mix of new and dated decor, but all have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, Keurig coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi. However, many guests complain of cleanliness issues, moldy bathrooms, slow internet connections, and noise, among other problems. Le Square Phillips Hotel and Suites might be a better choice, offering an indoor pool, rooms with kitchenettes, and a free breakfast -- all at a similar price.

As an alternative, the nearby Auberge du Vieux-Port is a similar property with free breakfast and rooms that feel just a touch more styled.

The Gite du Plateau Mont-Royal is a family-run hostel in the heart of the vibrant Plateau Mont-Royal neighborhood. The Victorian walk-up has been restored to maintain historic accents like original molding, hardwood floors, and embossed cast-iron radiators. All 26 rooms feature quirky Salvation Army finds, like kitschy lamps and old school desks, but lack air-conditioning and TVs. While the en-suite bathrooms are clean, some shared bathrooms show signs of wear and -- during our 2017 visit -- the communal bathtub needed cleaning. As an alternative, the similarly historic Abri du Voyageur in the Quartier des Spectacles is more affordable. However, the Gite is a better option for travelers wanting perks like a great breakfast featuring homemade pancakes and real maple syrup, plus planned cultural activities and discounts at festivals.

Novotel Montreal Centre offers spacious rooms with clean, contemporary decor (think: Ikea), and a convenient location in Downtown Montreal, right next to shopping on Sainte-Catherine Street. But there are few features -- just a decent fitness center, a solid restaurant with outdoor seating, and meetings rooms -- and there's a fee for Wi-Fi.
