Le Saint Sulpice - Great Experience
by A TripAdvisor Member
Staff, accommodations and restaurant were all superior. Room was large and as nicely decorated/furnished as their pictures advertise. Staff was great with recomendations on anything we asked about. Location was perfect, in the heart of Vieux Montreal - close to port, Champs de Mars, Palace de Arms and Metro.
We can't wait to return to Montreal and will surely consider Le Saint Sulpice once again.
Le Saint Suplice Surpassed Our Expectations
by A TripAdvisor Member
My boyfriend and just came back from a weekend in Montreal. Anyone looking for a quick romantic getaway who can't afford a trip to Paris, should seriously consider Old Montreal and Le Saint Sulpice. I've stayed at many beautiful 4 star hotels, and Le Saint Sulpice has surpassed them all.
The location was excellent. The hotel is about a two minute walk to the port and about a 10 minute walk to St. Catherine Street and the Underground shopping mall. The small streets and local boutiques were more reminiscent of a quaint European town as opposed to a major Canadian urban centre.
The room also surpassed our expectations. The suite had a living room with a fireplace, kitchenette, separate bedroom and very large bathroom. Everything we needed was already supplied in the room. The decor was modern yet very elegant. It felt nothing like a hotel!
And finally, despite some of the reviews I've read about this hotel, I found the staff incredibly courteous and accommodating. They spoke several languages and were always more than happy to suggest a great restaurant or a good place to shop. I couldn't have been happier and will definitely be spreading the word to friends and family (and to those reading this review) about this hotel!
A Wonderful Experience
by A TripAdvisor Member
We had the most wonderful experience at Le Saint-Sulpice. The room was beautiful. We had a room on the street side, but never heard any noise at all; and it was wonderful to open the windows and watch the activity on the street when we wanted. All of the staff, from check-in to check-out, and after, were extremely friendly and helpful. We left a couple of items behind when we checked out. The conceirge located them and mailed them to us at home. Also, a food tip for the hotel restaurant: the Filet Mignon is excellent.
Personnel must be paid poorly!

We stayed at the Saint Sulpice in the middle of August. The suite was very nice and tastefully furnished. Beds were fine. The room faced the courtyard, so there was not much street noise and no noise at all could be heard from other rooms in the hotel. So obviously the place is very well insulated.
The only thing which really got on our nerves was the blatant and often even impertinent demanding of tips - or as they call it "gratuities". You are expected to tip as soon as the waiter/bell boy etc. even lifts a finger. Since breakfast buffet was included in our room price, we didn't feel that we have to tip the waiter, who only poured coffe and orange juice anyway. Boy, were we wrong! He got quite upset finding out we didn't leave money for him on the table and made his discontent known to us.
We don't even want to blame the employees so much but the management should think about paying their employees a decent salary so that they don't have to beg like that. I'm sure the directors of the hotel don't have to rely on tips to survive!
Lovely Hotel in Vieux Montreal!

Montreal VTers
by acemj
Bonjour,
I'm enjoying your lovely city. Unfortunately, our meeting plans were foiled by schedule conflicts as well as the launch of the new VT. I haven't had much chance to log on and see what's going on, but if anyone wants to meet for lunch tomorrow, just name the place and time. I can find it and be there as lond as lunch is over by 2 pm, so I have enough time to catch me flight.
Please respond ASAP if interested.

Poor Mark,
I am still up North today, but will be back tomorrow morning.
Are you still closer to old Montreal?
If so, we could meet around place Jacques Cartier around 12-12h30, say Jardin Nelson.
Hope your stay was memorable! I could drop you off if that can keep you around Montreal for a few minutes more!!!

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to this meeting either, it was Labor Day weekend down here and a number of things going on for the holiday weekend. I also hadn't realized that the old forums would be wiped out by the changes on the new VT. Hope Your stay in Montreal was a grand one!! Isn't it an amazing city?

As far as I know Mark didn't pick his post or mail (I left my cell number). It was a pretty bad Sunday on VT, wonder if he even could connect that morning.
I came back to Mtl by 10-11am Monday and tried to pick any post and since nothing
was posted I didn't go anywhere.
Like you say... a darned missed opportunity!!!
Better luck next time.

Pierre (and everyone else),
Thanks for making attempts to make the meeting possible. Pierre, I am just seeing your message today (a week too late!), but I appreciate your generous offer to drop me off.
Despite not having a meeting, I still went to Le Saint Sulpice for drinks one night and the weather and people in Montreal were delightful. Next time, I'll just pick a definitive place and time and see who shows up.
