The design is very unique, bed is comfy (but came in seeing stain on the sheet…) Also, this hotel is located in a very noisy area, I could hear car/motor cycles/music all night specially on the weekend (I stayed at the top floor). Also could hear guest talking or walking by everytime. The worst is the shower, water pressure is way too low, just like a coffee machine dripping.. took forever to shower.. Staff are nice tho..

Mixed feelings about Chez Swann. First the room. I booked a suite and it was spectacular. Huge. whimsically decorated, fun, romantic and functional. Love the bathrobes and individual toiletries Next the location : just as great. You’re in the heart of downtown. Amazing. On the downside, building upkeep is not the best, they could provide more amenities such as bottled water, a kettle etc. But the worst was the breakfast which was included. Very very low end except for the French breakfast pastries that were awesome. The rest was toast, cereal, fruit cups, yogurt. Bare minimum. No effort. So disappointing come soldering how much care and attention went into designing the rooms Will probably return for the location and the suite. But would rather go to McD for breakfast

RoomsA++, Breakfast D-

We love the rooms at Chez Swann! While this location lacks the amenities of other hotels in its category, it makes up for that in comfort and style. Unique furnishings & fixtures, and location are pluses for us. Only downside is the breakfast. Their website indicates a Continental breakfast with French pastries; you expext French pastries at a classy boutique hotel to be high quality. These were not that. I know what they say about expectations, but in all honesty making arrangments for a local bakey to deliver quality Quebec style bakery products could easily be absorbed by the repeat bookings that would garner. Its silly, but factul, when you offer something "free" people will judge that offering most harshly. Swann I promise you, fresh proper croissants and bagles would be a small investment that garners you big rewards.

Meh. And clean up outside

Dated interior - but comfortable bed. Super disgusting scene right outside our window - trash and rotting food. Breakfast was very underwhelming. Felt more like 2 stars.

Allez ailleurs. Hôtel bruyant, la propreté de notre chambre laissait à désirer, la musique du restaurant sous notre chambre a fait vibrer le plancher de notre chambre jusqu'au 23h15, le petit déjeuner est catastrophique: de la vaisselle en plastique jetable pour de la nourriture de dépanneur dans des emballages indidivudelles : rien à la hauteur d un hotel à ce prix là. Et des photos mensongères sur le site web pour le petit déjeuner. Toilettes de chambre bouchées qui plus est. Je n ai jamais connu pire à Montréal.

The style of this boutique hotel is still very unique but it is slowly starting to show the impact of time… not as clean as before and the furniture is starting to show its age.

The room was perfect, clean and spacious, design was beautiful exactly what we were looking for. Dislike I would have to say staff at reception, not sure if this was just a coincident but staff at reception desk were dressed very casually and wearing a baseball cap, looked more like a guess than staff. But hotel had a boutique feeling and was very nice, would stay there again.
