The 27-room Auberge Le Pomerol is a cozy, mid-range budget-friendly property that’s centrally located within walking distance of downtown Montreal and the Old Port. Adjacent to the hotel is the Berri QUAM metro station, where three lines convene. Rooms are well-maintained and come with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, and a free continental breakfast is delivered to
rooms every morning. Most rooms, though, are small -- especially bathrooms -- and size
and layout can vary widely in this converted apartment building. While attractively
priced, there are several similar properties in central Montreal that may offer even better rates, such as Hotel St-Denis.

Scene
A homey, quiet hotel with fireplaces and a cozy sitting area
The Auberge Le Pomerol is a converted apartment complex
that’s more than 100 years old. It’s a lovely brick building with stylish,
clear-glass entrance doors that lead to a small, curved wood front desk. A lower-level lobby a few steps
down is cozy and intimate, with comfortable upholstered couches and chairs with throw
pillows facing a wooden coffee table and a lovely stone fireplace. Magazines
and books encourage guests to linger in this comfortable, living room-style space, which has a computer station with printer. A small
dining area off the lobby serves afternoon and evening snacks, and a quaint French bistro in an adjoining basement area serves lunch and dinner. This boutique-style property feels much like a home in an older,
established Montreal neighborhood.
Location
In an older neighborhood of central Montreal near Berri metro station
The Auberge Le Pomerol borders the lively Gay Village, with
its shops, nightclubs, and restaurants, in central Montreal. The Berri metro station, where all three of Montreal’s metro lines connect, is about a
three-minute walk from the hotel. Place des Arts is a 12-minute walk, while the University of
Quebec and the Latin Quarter and its many restaurants are a six-minute walk.
Trudeau Airport is a 23-minute drive, or 36 minutes away by public transportation. City
Centre is a 10-minute drive away, and Old Montreal is a seven-minute drive, or about a
20-minute walk. The surrounding area is an older neighborhood that’s a bit
gritty but is generally considered safe.
Rooms
Tidy and clean, and no two rooms are alike
The 27 guest rooms overlook
either the street (front) or parking lot (back). Rooms in the back are especially quiet. No two rooms are exactly alike, so it’s helpful to review
photos of the rooms' size and layout before booking. All rooms are tidy
and clean, and feature earth tone-painted walls and drapes, patterned comforters, and light-wood headboards and matching nightstands and dressers. Standard amenities include coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs with HDMI ports, and free Wi-Fi. Most rooms have
hardwood floors and comfortable upholstered chairs. The larger Superior and
Executive Rooms typically have work desk/office chairs, mini-fridges, safes, and
small stereos with CD players. Economy Rooms have double or two
single beds, and they can be cramped, with the bed abutting one wall. Standard Rooms
are a bit larger, and include queen beds, or one double and one single bed. Superior
Rooms have queen beds, and Executive Rooms have queen or king beds -- larger Executive
Rooms have couches and separate sitting areas and large jetted tubs, some placed on platforms outside the bathrooms. Regardless of the room
category, all bathrooms are clean and fresh but small, with white tile walls, shower/tub combos with curtains, and magnifying mirrors. Some of the rooms with
jetted tubs have small, separate showers.
Features
Free continental breakfast delivered to rooms, French bistro attached, concierge services
A continental
breakfast basket is delivered to guest rooms daily, and it’s included in the room rate. Free snacks are available from mid-afternoon on, and free newspapers are

approximately 16 people in the largest room. Concierge services are provided,
and guests can purchase tickets at the hotel for city tours, river cruises,
museums and other attractions. A computer station with printer is located in
the lower lobby. Secure parking is behind the hotel for a fee. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.
