I'm not particularly sure how this hotel is classified as a 4-star hotel, with the exception of the impeccable service in the restaurant. The room itself seemed more like a budget hotel as most of the decorations and furniture seemed a bit dated to me. The biggest issue I had with the room was the ancient A/C unit that didn't seem to cool the room down at all. I had it on the coldest setting on the max fan speed and yet I found myself hot quite often. It got to the point where I would keep the balcony door open before I went to sleep to really cool down the room, which is pretty bad considering that outside temps were in 4 - 5 Celsius range. This can be attributed to being my fault maybe as I do run quite hot and typically am a person who keeps my house and hotel rooms frigid. The best part was the location and breakfasts in the morning. I think for our next trip to Montreal we will find something in a similar location but will skip on the ITHQ Hotel. Not really sure if the value is there considering it's part school and part average hotel. If those things don't bother you then feel free to book (so long as the price is good, I wouldn't pay over $150 USD/night), otherwise, look elsewhere.

Stayed here for five nights. The room was not so large but it had a balcony, which was a big plus. Great views over the city. Staff in reception was helpful and the breakfast was good, but not as much to choose from as in many other hotels in this price range. Centrally located and lots of restaurants nearby.

This is a great option if you're looking for a hotel in a more residential location and away from the downtown area. The hotel is in the Plateau within walking distance to a variety of restaurants at different price points. There is a lovely park directly across the street that can be seen from the dining room.

I did not have a car when I recently visited my son and found the metro stop underneath the hotel handy when going downtown, to the airport bus stop and further into the Plateau. The station is literally underneath the hotel. The hotel is a teaching hotel. However, I did not see groups of students or classes during my stay which was over the weekend. My room was very clean and comfortable with a modern decor. The bed was comfortably firm—no sagging mattress. The bathroom was spotless. The breakfast that was included with my room rate was delicious especially the weekend brunch that offered a variety of well prepared hot and cold dishes. The only area for improvement is in the lobby and lounge areas on the ground floor. It felt a little sterile and could use a little more staffing especially the hotel bar. It had limited hours and and would have been much nicer had it been open during the afternoons like most hotel bars especially during the weekends. Not a big deal though since there are many bars nearby on Rue Saint Denis. Aside from that minor caveat, I highly recommend the hotel. The staff were very professional and work very hard to make the guests welcome.
