This was my second stay at the Square Phillips Hotel. You cannot beat the price and it has a great location right in the heart of Montreal. You can walk to almost everything right from your hotel. The rooms are big, clean, and come with a kitchenette & fridge. I even used the weight room, swimming pool, and deck all located on the roof. This is not a posh, super service place but so what. It has all the amenities you need. It is great for families. There is no bar or restaurant in the hotel, however, you can walk out your front door and there's a dozen places to choose from in sight! Well worth giving a try.

Within a 1 mile walking distance from all downtown and Old Montreal. Was on a family trip with small child so this was important. Hotel arranged a babysitter for two nights and it went well.

Not many restaurants/bars in immediate vicinity, but found a lot of options in Old Montreal. When walking to Old Montreal, be prepared to walk back up hill the whole way.

Had a 2 bed suite which was larger than expected (est 700 sq ft) with 2 flat screen tv's and independent climate control in each bedroom and suite area. Staff was friendly and helpful with decent recommendations on places to eat.

We stayed here during JazzFest. Our room on the 6th floor was spacious, clean, and very quiet. The staff-at the front desk and the parking staff -were less helpful and patient than they were on our previous visit. None the less we certainly will stay here again.

I have just returned from a night at the Square Phillips.
The hotel is wonderful and I have never felt so much at home. I stayed on the 5th floor and my room overlooked the street. The view wasn't very impressive, but that was easily made up by rooftop terrace.
Breakfast is continental with fruits, muffins, bagels, cereals, juices and hot drinks. During the rest of the day if you get hungry you can make a meal or snack in your room as each room has a fully equipped kitchen. There is a full sized fridge, oven, dishwasher, microwave and toaster.
The pool is nice, small but nice. The only drawback is that because of the pools size, they ask that no more then 10 people be in the pool at a time. On the same floor as the pool there is a small workout room and a terrace that lets you see all the view that you may not have from your room. Even on a rainy day it was still lovely.
For those that don't want to cook, there some nice restaurants in the area. Everything from pizza and italian to typical fast food.
There were three of us and we shared a one king bed room, with a rollaway bed for the third person. Prior to seeing the room I was worried that the bed wouldn't fit, after seeing the room, I know it would be no problem.
Overall I would say this is probably the best hotel I have ever stayed in Montreal. It is very close to the Metro (McGill station is closer not Place Victoria as was originally told to us by a subway employee), Eaton Centre, numerous other shopping centres and St. Catherines St.
I would not hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.
