I really wanted to love this hotel. Its "minimalist" approach doesn't do justice to the beauty and history of its facade. It is way too stark. We had a deluxe loft which is basically a king bed in the middle of a room. There is virtually no horizontal surface other than the bed. Yes, the bed is in the middle of the room. Good if you're a creator wanting to make spicy content, but otherwise odd and inconvenient. The one small table was taken up by the coffee service and there was only one chair. There is no convenient power by the bed. You'll charge your devices on the floor in the opposite corners. The ceiling is high, so the light is kind of diffuse (hence, dim). And it echos and is without white noise, so if your partner breathes heavy, you'll hear it well. And you'll also hear street noise (we heard car races late Friday night) and hallway noise. The bathroom is behind the bed (there is a sheer curtain for aesthetics). Lighting is awful. There is no vanity, very little surface area, hardly any hanging space (taken up by their two huge robes), and only two hooks (one for each of the only two bath towels). The shower is big and powerful. The lobby is equally stark, completely consumed by meal service tables throughout the entire lobby (all sides). The one tiny corner with a high top and comfy couch to talk or work was roped off for a private event one of the days. So, basically, there was no way to get work done in this hotel. This hotel is all design and form, and really not about function. Despite it being really well serviced (very accommodating staff) and very clean, there are much better options in the old city.

Although I usually do all the travel planning, my husband took it over for this trip and booked a two-night stay here. It was fabulous. Our second-floor room was spacious with a great vibe, and the hotel staff couldn't be more accommodating. Great breakfast as well. Would definitely stay here again.

It's my final night at the Gault; I don't want to leave. It's a wonderful hotel: the staff go above and beyond and it's a beautiful historic building that is clean and well maintained. I can't speak more highly of The Gault and look forward to coming back.

Top notch hotel and staff. Emma was super helpful and very professional. We would definitely stay there again. The location in old Montreal was excellent with easy access to great coffee shops, restaurants, museums, and the water front. The room was clean and spacious-- we liked the modern interior design in a backdrop of a gorgeous old world setting.

A wonderful stay over Christmas in magical Montreal. The minute we entered the lobby it smelt incredible, like cinnamon, spice and Christmas! Beautiful decor and a spacious lobby area that also doubles as their breakfast/brunch area. The front desk staff were always pleasant, especially Estrella who assisted us with restaurant recommendations. The room, the Deluxe Suite, was located on the second floor and it was gorgeous! Super modern with a big comfy bed, big soaking bathtub, heated bathroom floors, a desk, lots of cupboard space and a mini fridge. The bed was comfortable. The tub was so nice, especially after a day of exploring Montreal. Everything is pretty much within walking distance, with the hôtel located in old Montreal, close to the water, restaurants, shops and attractions. The breakfast we had included in the room, omg, amazing! We ended up eating in our room each morning and choosing a different dish off the breakfast menu each day. Breakfast ends, I think, at 10:30am but on weekends they do a brunch that goes a bit later. There is no lunch or dinner service here, that we were aware of, but with so many restaurants near by you won’t go hungry! We did enjoy a wine and a beer Christmas night downstairs, in the lounge area, by the fire - that was lovely and we had the whole place to ourselves. There’s no bad to this hotel, but for awareness, there are steps leading up from the street into the lobby, which can be a bit entertaining to navigate with luggage… they did help us with our luggage when they heard us coming in so if you need assistance we suggest heading in to ask for help first. Also, and this seems to be a canadien thing, the pillows are so soft, maybe feather stuffed, so maybe ask for different ones if you like a bit more firmness. Would definitely recommend a stay at Hotel Gault!
