“The Gault was fantastic”

Hotel Gault

5 of 5 stars
Toronto, Ontario
Feb 10, 2008
2/3 found this review helpful

This was our first stay at the Hotel Gault, and we were very pleased.

The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Check-in was a breeze. The room was well-appointed. We had one of the corner "Extraessentiel" rooms, and it was very spacious. The shower was fantastic -- so often, hotel showers are such a disappointment, but this one was luxurious in comparison, given the size and water-pressure.

The hotel is located in a beautiful old stone building, yet the decor inside is very contemporary. Our room was definitely "minimalist" in style, yet very comfortable nonetheless.

The breakfast that came with the room was very nice. We had dinner one night in the lobby restaurant -- the menu was very appealing, and the food was great. We were very happy with our meal.

The hotel is nicely located. Close to all of the sights in Old Montreal, yet easy walking distance to the shopping on Ste. Catherine. Fun thoroughfares such as St. Denis and St. Laurent are only three or four subway stops away.

Our only criticisms of the Hotel Gault are minor. These are minor quibbles and did not detract from the overall wonderful experience.

First, the room came with two bath towels -- extra towels would have been nice. We showered a couple of times each day, and it would have been nice the second time not to have to use the same damp towel from the morning. I suppose we could have asked for extra towels, but they should be provided as a matter of course (as in most hotels of this caliber).

Second, the room contained some fantastic-looking modernist chairs, which were in keeping with the chic contemporary decor of the Hotel Gault. However, they were not the most comfortable of chairs. After a day of exploring Montreal, it would have been nice to sit back in a comfy chair and relax. I would not want over-stuffed cliched hotel chairs, but one does not have to sacrifice comfort for modernist and contemporary design. Next time they are upgrading the hotel furnishings, the Gault management should consider chairs that are both chic and comfortable -- such things do exist.

Finally, and this is a problem with most hotels (not just the Gault) -- it is the 21st century, and the lack of a green program is inexplicable. The rooms did not even have blue bins for recycling. Unbelievable. Hotels like the Gault really need to start taking steps (above and beyond self-serving notes asking guests to re-use towels) to reduce their ecological footprint.

“Top Notch Service,”

Hotel Gault

Dec 13, 2007
5/7 found this review helpful

I stayed at Hotel Gault in November and I have nothing but good things to say. Firstly, we arrived rather late and check in was quick and welcoming. We were introduced to the friendly and courteous hotel staff and were told a few things about the hotel. I asked for recommendations for the following evening for dinner, as BYOW is something that lacks in Toronto. In the morning I was given 5 different options detailing locations, their personal reviews, crowd, and varying cuisines yet all pertaining to my requests! Excellent.

My room was quiet, relaxing, and more than inviting. I had a great night sleep and was up and ready to go after my free in room breakfast. A full a lá carte menu is included with free room service which was more than an added bonus as Montréal can leave you paralyzed the morning after.

The only thing I can say is that an LCD monitor would have been a nice added bonus, but nonetheless, the only issue I had.

No matter the request, Hotel Gault went out there way for me - my friends and I agreed that we are pleased to have somewhere to stay when in Montreal.

“A wonderful hotel.”

Hotel Gault

5 of 5 stars
Grosse Pointe, Michigan

3/5 found this review helpful

One of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot. (I fly 120,000 miles a year). Beautifully designed. Super friendly staff. Great food. A "hip" hotel that makes you feel very welcome. Concierge, desk staff, etc. couldn't be nicer or more helpful. Older people may not think of it as "luxurious" - no overstuffed chairs, foo-foo decorations, etc. But if you like modern design, you can't beat it

“the best hotel experience i've had in montreal”

Hotel Gault

5 of 5 stars
new york
Dec 2, 2007
7/9 found this review helpful

You may not like contemporary design (I do, and it's one more reason I love this hotel). But, even if you don't, the level of service here is simply amazing and should make even the most modern-design skeptic a lover of this hotel.

My wife and I stayed in a suite with a private balcony: a suite that easily eclipsed the size of our manhattan apartment! All amenities you could ask for: a well conceived design from top to bottom: heated bathroom floors, huge windows, generous storage to hang suits, unpack, and really high quality linens.

Notwithstanding how much I like the decor of the hotel, the staff and the professional level of service they provide are the main attraction in my opinion. Simply put: they are helpful and dedicated to making your stay comfortable and pleasant. We arrived very late but the hotel staff were there to park the car and bring our luggage to our room. I'm originally from Montreal and have seen a lot of the city's hotels when I've come back to visit. This hotel really exceeded my experiences with other hotels. My wife and I are sure to return.

“Modern and comfortable with excellent service”

Hotel Gault

5 of 5 stars
New York City, New York

3/4 found this review helpful

We only stayed at the Hotel Gault for one night, but it is deserving of a review. We arrived very late, around 2 am, but were still greeted with a warm and welcoming reception. After a quick and pleasant check-in we were shown to our room. The room is large and sleek with more space for storing clothes, luggage, etc. than I've seen in any other hotel. The bathroom was also very large and all of the furniture and decor, from the chairs to the drapes, were modern and beautiful. We loved the long, wooden desk and the concrete floors. We also loved the concrete walls in the hallway (see attached photo) and the view from our corner window was very nice.

We ordered room service at 3 am and the food was excellent. An assortment of french cheeses with wine really hit the spot after our long day of driving. And again, the service was spectacular. Check out was expedient and friendly, and we left Hotel Gault wishing that we had more time to spend there.

For those wishing to explore Old Montreal, the hotel's proximity to Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal and other attractions is perfect.
