Hotel XIXe Siecle
by A TripAdvisor Member
Bon jour!
This is the second time we've stayed at Hotel XIXe Siecle. We really enjoy ourselves while in Old Montreal and this boutique hotel fits the bill. You can walk or take the Metro to local sites.
We found out this time around that the facility is WIFI, but you will need your own laptop, provider, and you are given only 30 minutes of free access. Afterwards, you are charged a fee.
There is valet parking - $20 per night/ in and out privileges. If you park on your own, I believe it's $12, but no in and out privileges.
Our package included breakfast ($12 per day w/o pkg). Breakfast is great. This time around there was a cyclist club and the hotel ran out of the mueslix (my fav). The croissants were delicious too!
This year they had some local acts singing in the lounge area. That was a treat.
The staff is very accommodating with instructions and information. Who knows, we may be back again next year.
This is what a boutique hotel is...

I recently stayed for 3 nights with my partner, we both adored the charm and the incredible service of the employees. It was quite the experience and would reccommend this hotel to everyone. The hotel is perfectly nestled in the heart of OLd Montreal, peace and quiet, once in awhile we would hear a horse carriage go by. The room was magnificent and everything you can imagine for a building that is over 120 years old. That night, we left the staff choose where to eat, restaurant Laloux, exquisite. All in all, the trip was fabulous, all thanks go to the staff of Hotel XIX Siecle, who treated us like royalty!!
Excellent Location and Ambiance

Hotel Xixe Siecle is blessed with charming decor and is centrally located in the picturesque heart of Old Montreal; it is an easy walk from several subway stations as well as a variety of excellent restaurants and eateries.
The staff was friendly, helpful and informative; we had one of the corner suites--it was vast, elegantly-appointed and a pleasure to come home to every night. Our special requests (e.g. extra pillows) were promptly and courteously accomodated, and the cold buffet breakfast--which was included in our room rate--was delicious. We were delighted by the variety of edibles, from cereal, fruits and youghurts to the legendary Montreal-style bagels. An excellent way to start the day!
Quiet elegance, perfect service

We stayed at Hotel XIXe Siecle for five days in May for a much needed spring vacation. The hotel was near tourist activities but extremely quiet at night. All staff members were courteous and immediately able to answer our questions and help us find restaurants and other services. The standard room was spacious and gave us a great view of the architectural details of the building across Rue St. Jean. We had coffee sent to our room first thing every morning, and we never waited more than a few minutes for it to be delivered. We ate breakfast in the hotel only on our last day before heading to the airport, and I am sorry we didn't do it every day. Great selection served in a serene room off the street. We will definitely stay there again.

This hotel was recommended by a friend knowing of my upcoming trip. He raved about the location, service and price. I went with high expectation which were surpassed. All the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful. They even let me in their office to print my airline e-ticket. Their honest restaurant recommendations were spot on, getting us into a popular place on a busy Friday night. The bar tender gave me a few French lessons and help with phrases. We left for 3 days to see Quebec city and returned to find they had upgraded us to a suite for our final stay! Rooms were clean, tastful with all the amenities one would expect for this price point. No view to speak of but we didn't care. Our suite was wonderful and spacious. The suite we were in used to be an old bank vault. The room was dead quiet. The bar and lobby area are elegant and great place to relax and socialize. Location is perfect between downtown and old town and near the subway station.
We returned to Montreal 9 months later and were somewhat disappointed. They put us in the same standard room, we had on our previous stay. The price had gone up even in the early Spring offseason. None of the staff we encountered were there. It was just a standard hotel experience. Goes to show what a difference good staffing makes.
Charming ambience

Great location in Old Montreal - roughly two blocks to subway station (Square Victoria). Lots of sights and restaurants within 10-15 min walk in the area, or can subway/walk up to St. Catherine area.
Very friendly hotel staff that provided excellent service and had a few excellent restaurant suggestions. The Hotel "Library Bar" appeared to have a few guests every night we were there (albeit, it was Formula 1 weekend in Montreal, and every place was quite busy).
The rooms itself were charming. Very high ceiling, clean, and tidy. Bathroom amenities were top notch. Only complaint from me was that Room 315 did NOT have any wifi reception - I had to literally walk into the hallway, or go down into the lobby to get any internet. Inconvenient, but a minor problem especially when there was so much more to offer in the city during the weekend I was there.
