HÔTEL CHEZ SWANN
Modestly sized hotel, halfway between the charm/comfort and luxury categories, showing imagination in its decoration.
Halfway between the charm/comfort and luxury categories, Hôtel Chez Swann uses imagination to decorate its rooms. Colourful, stylish, even a little kitschy.... A particular taste that will confuse fans of the great classics of the hotel industry. The hotel management insists: we are closer to art than design. The idea of this modest hotel (about twenty rooms) is to offer you an experience in the heart of Montreal's culture, rather than simply spending a night in a hotel.

Members' reviews on HÔTEL CHEZ SWANN
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
There are plenty of bars, restaurants, parks and shopping that you can easily walk to.
The hotel is small but the rooms are on the bigger size and are always clean and very funky.
Alessandro at the front desk provides great service, like all of the employees, and is always ready to accommodate.
My only criticism would be that the water pressure in the shower is a little weak. Considering all the positives, I can deal with it.
Like most hotels, guests receive an access card for room entry, and the Wi-Fi password is conveniently provided on a paper strip inside the access card folder. The hotel follows standard hotel procedures, including requiring a credit card for deposits. The hotel provides a complimentary continental breakfast from 7 am to 10 am, offering a selection of pastries, cereal, toast, and coffee. The breakfast area is located in the lobby, opposite the front desk. However, guests should be aware that staff members sometimes ask in the morning which room number they are staying in.
During the stay, the room featured a king-sized bed, blackout curtains, and a decently-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower. However, the TV placement was noted to be awkward and could have been better positioned in place of the walk-in shower's large window. Also, the rooms are not soundproof, and guests may experience noise from outside hallway activities, such as walking and cleaning.
One notable concern was related to housekeeping services. Despite each room having a letter indicating that no cleaning service would be offered during the stay and nobody would enter the room, a housekeeping staff member entered the room without knocking. While waiting at the door, the staff member was insistent on cleaning and checking for garbage, despite the guest's request for no service. Note: place the "no service" sign on the door to avoid this scenario.
