I'm not sure why this place is getting blasted by so many people. I booked a five night stay while i was in montreal. I read some of the reviews before hand and a few after. I was getting pretty nervous as I approached hotel champ de mars, with my head swimming with the bad reviews. Expecting the worse, i opened the door and was greeted right away by the incredibly nice staff. While theywere preparing my room key etc. I looked around and found the hotel cute, charming and warm. I eventually got to my room and found that the room was really clean and cozy (i dont really need a large room) the bar inside of the building has a good beer and liquor selection and the hotel it self is a quick 10min walk to great spots in old Montréal. To wrap things up, the hotel is awesone for the price ($70ish per night) its an old building so the floor boards are a bit creaky but it didnt bother me, i got wonderful sleep.
Hotel is great for the price. No frills.
The rooms are clean and stcoked with toiletries
The staff is super nice and help me out with my french.
I would stay here again.
