We stayed here for two nights to celebrate our anniversary, and I have rarely, if ever, had a more pleasant experience with a hotel or its staff than I have with Le Petit Hotel.
Our arrival on Friday came in the middle of the day, and the young lady at the front desk advised us that we would be better off parking our car on the street and feeding a machine every couple of hours until 9pm (when it's no longer necessary) than to pay the fee to park in their valet lot. This prospect, of course, is made more attractive by the fact that in Montreal, you don't have to go back to your car and feed a meter - there are computerized machines all over the city that accept money to keep your car legally parked while it is many, many blocks away!!
In any case, check-in was a breeze, and our room was spotless, funky, cool, and had everything we could have needed for a stay in the city.
The location of this hotel, in the heart of Old Montreal, so European in aspect, is a wonderful boon for us tourists - so much to see and so many places to enjoy within walking distance, it was obvious that we would really need several more days to truly enjoy the city!
The free breakfast the hotel offers is a wonderful value (it's FREE!) - get there early to enjoy fresh croissant, various muffins and pastries, cereal, fresh fruit, juice, milk, and good strong coffee! A great way to start a day of sightseeing.
We couldn't have enjoyed our stay here more, and will be back to Montreal again, and will go out of our way to stay here again if we can. All the staff members we spoke with were helpful, friendly and courteous, and all happy to point out areas to visit, tips for getting around the city and recommendations of all kinds.
Highly recommended!
