Excellent staff from the bellhops to the front desk, everyone was super courteous and very quick to help you out. The hotel decor was pretty nice, they are goin for that trendy NY look. We stayed in the executive suite which was two rooms, a living room and then bedroom with two bathrooms with included baths/showers. Lighting was bleh, to dark for me. Overall nice hotel room, looks like it had been partied in pretty good though but didn't bother me, hehe. Was expecting an IPOD dock of some sort, but i improvised and bought one of those ipod headphone jack to audio input wires and plugged into the back of the tv and bam! IPOD. Have a ton of pics of the room if anyone is interested.

First time visit to Montreal and what an incredible city! And the trendy Opus Montreal matches its host city in everyway. The décor in the rooms and lobby was vibrant and fun. Staff were friendly and very helpful with directions plus some outstanding dinner recommendations. Location was perfect – right next to a whole bunch of great shops and restaurants/clubs.

I stayed at Hotel Godin (now Opus) twice earlier this year--once in February and once in June. Both were business trips.

Some aspects of this hotel I really liked, others not.

The rooms ARE dark, mostly due to concrete ceilings that mean no overhead lights. (Plus everything is painted in gray tones.) Also, huge windows are shrouded in very dark curtains. This might be great if you need pitch-dark to sleep, but a bit oppressive for being in the room at other times. I immediately opened all curtains, and that helped, but people could then look right in, from the place across the way, so I had to remember to change in the bathroom or close the curtains!

Both times I was in what they call a "Privilege" room--that's the smallest. Bed was great--that's important! And chocolate treats at turn-down were a nice touch.

The pictures show a bathtub, but neither room I had included one--only a shower, although a spacious one.

There is a nice long desk, which was good for working. One trip I was able to negotiate internet to be included in the room cost, but the other time I had to pay a daily fee.

No coffee maker, but there is free coffee in the lobby downstairs.

Room service is - as you might expect - expensive. Plus, fairly small portions. Fortunately, there are lots of places to eat within walking distance.

Still, overall it was a pretty good experience.

Lots of rave reviews, but I thought it was trying a bit too hard to be 'New York'......constant 'cool' hotel music everywhere you go, the bar just doesn't quite cut it.....not saying it was bad - it was fine - but it aint Schrager/Stark even tho it wants to be.

But having said that, at $179 maybe you cant expect the real thing?
