I stayed at the Travelodge Montréal Centre from August 23–26, 2025 for three nights at $256.86 per night. For a three-star hotel downtown, the price was fair. I miss the old gift shop (now a hair salon) because the owner was always kind.
The location is excellent. It’s across from Complexe Desjardins (Desjardins Complex) with shops and a food court, a two-minute walk to Place des Arts (The Arts Square) and the Quartier des Spectacles (Entertainment District), and close to Chinatown (Quartier Chinois), Vieux Montréal / Vieux Port (Old Montréal / Old Port), and the Centre Eaton de Montréal (Eaton Centre Mall) connected to the underground city. Restaurants are everywhere, and McGill, Concordia, and UQAM are all within walking distance.
Check-in was slow and one key card didn’t work, but staff were polite. We switched rooms easily. Rooms are compact (~15 m²), fine for one or two people but tight for families. Ours had a bunk bed and two singles. Amenities included a Nespresso machine, mini fridge, hairdryer, toiletries, and towels. Some furniture was worn, one light didn’t work, and the A/C was noisy, but none ruined the stay.
Breakfast (7–10:30 a.m.) had fruit, cereal, eggs, yogurt, pastries, coffee, and tea. Simple but filling. The gym is tiny, and the water fountain was replaced with an ice machine. Checkout was smooth, Jennifer was excellent, and we got our $100 deposit back. Overall, clean, reliable, and unbeatable for location. Solid 4.5/5.
