Hotel Birks Montreal

Very nice location. Just about as downtown as it gets. Not cheap, but a bit swanky. Very poor amenities. No combs or toothbrushes. Be warned. The desk clerk said room service was 24 hours, but when I called I got an answering machine. Though I left my room number, no one ever called back. I have to say all and all for what we paid, it's a bit disappointing. Seems like the least we could expect was the service we were told we could get. That being said it is very clean and well maintained. And the valet was simply excellent. I went on my ebike that evening, and he took in the parking got it all charged up for me during the night. Breakfast is " la carte" (not included and no buffet style) and costs average 27$ (Can.) per person. Our waiter was young but excessively professional and courteous. It's almost worth it for the experience. But do keep in mind there are tons of places to eat around that area.

Nice restaurant. Room's bathroom was good and the location is central. It is a solid hotel but definitely not at the same level as true 5-star places like Ritz Carlton/Four Seasons. I don't feel the service is very personable, and the public area of the hotel is a bit lacking (small seating area, no pool, small gym, etc). Bed was comfortable but not particularly high quality linens, and sound proofing could have been better too. Though front desk was helpful for providing basic information, there was no dedicated concierge and the information was not particularly insightful (no better than yourself doing a online search). Gym was closed for most of the stay and the hotel provided no alternative option but just a paper under the door. The spa was also not very attractive. Garden room will mean you face a wall and an alley, though my friend's room facing the church had an amazing view. So definitely ask about what the view is when booking. If price is right, I would stay here again; dont expect this hotel to be a true 5-star hotel but its rather more like a solid 4-4.5 star level.
