Hotel Xixe Siecle was an excellent stay. I am writing this review on the day of departure from my room which has to be one of the best rooms I have stayed in my many years of domestic and international travel.

I drove up from Boston (5 hours) for a weekend stay with my daughter (15). The hotel is situated in Old Montreal and minutes walk from the Montreal Metro. Therefore most of the city is accessible. However, the calm of the area, the closeness to the water and the mangificent buildings of old Montreal made this a very peaceful vacation.

The hotel is Boutique, so if you are more comfortable in the traditional Marriot type hotel you may not be as comfortable here. The style is European and I would recommend this for couples (new and old). Restaurants in the area are good. Gibby's seems popular and a nice setting. I tried the new Sushi Rest called Tatami which is unusal in that the tables are actually fish tanks and the food is artfully done. We walked St Catherine street, had ice creme nearby with the locals and really had a relaxed time. I am coming back and would try for this hotel again. Worth every star of its 4 star rating.

We got a great deal going directly to the hotel (2 nights almost half-price, third night free, complimentary continental breakfast). We had a wonderful stay in the Hotel. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The hotel is well located. The bar/lounge and the dining room were cheerful, well-staffed and the breakfast was very good. The staff helped us out with recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We would definitely try to book the Hotel Xixe Siecle the next time we visit Montreal.

Even though we live in Detroit, we decided to book a winter getaway to Montreal and Quebec, since the prices were so reasonable...we did a 3 day Montreal, 2 day Quebec City, and 1 day back to Montreal before our flight home. We spent 3 nights at Hotel Xixe Siecle, and they were great! We booked a great stay 2 night, get 1 night free off their website (only $135 CAD per night) and received a room with the most amazing whirlpool tub ever, 2 queen beds, ceilings so high you could have fit another story in our room, a grand-sized room, etc. The staff was also very helpful in giving directions, recommendations for dining, etc. Also, even though my husband and I love to walk (and did despite the cold and snow), we were a 5 minute walk from the Metro Station which made everything conveniently located. Please note there is also a computer with free internet in the lobby and a cute "Library" themed bar in the lobby...the only detriment was the lack of exercise room/facility, but with such other great services/location/staff, I could live without this. It was a perfect stay in a great city!

We booked our Queen bed room online at hotels.com for $114/night CDN.

We stayed for 2 nights during the week of Valentine's.

The room itself is well appointed with a Queen size bed, desk, TV and wardrobe for hanging clothing. Celings are very high (at least 15 feet). Washroom is smaller but functional. The towels were very plush and luxurious.

This hotel as stated by other reviewers is a renovated older building so there is definitely character in this building which is great since it's located in Old Montreal.

Vicinity wise, there is an Eggspectations across the street which opens at 6am and serves breakfast/lunch. We had breakfast on our last morning in the hotel and weren't very impressed. It was a very basic Continental breakfast that was $13/per person.

For dinner, there are a lot of restaurants within walking distance. We went to Bon A Part for dinner one night. It was very enjoyable although we were a bit under dressed and dressed more for the snow storm they had that day.

This hotel is very close to Central Station where we arrived by train. In addition, we were able to walk from our hotel to Chinatown and Rue St. Catherines (which is a main strip) without difficulties.

No complaints and we would definitely stay here again! Staff is very friendly and helpful!
